Any person who agrees to be in public life leaves himself open for criticism. The stars who have maximum number of fans, have the maximum number of haters e.g. Justin Beiber, Robert Pattinson etc. In the West there are specific sites which are dedicated to bashing celebrities.
I really do not think anyone who chooses public life takes this criticism seriously, including Barun.
The only thing is that we should do is not speculate and spread false rumours about affairs and health etc.
Criticism regarding acting, looks, dressing style is all part of showbiz and there is nothing wrong in it.
Rima, I think the Barun hate club numbers increased because Barun did not do much to tamp down rumors like he was forced to quit because of ill-treatment and bad storylines etc.
But for that more than Barun, I would blame the rumor mongers who are still active on this site.
