More than 2 years have passed...till I came across a promo of a man standing in rain...holding a photograph..and looking at sky...I never knew it would be a start of my new obsession then... a liking of the character in a TV show... soon became love for fictional character called Arnav Singh Raizada... I didnt even know the name of actor when i first fell in love with those eyes...eyes that held some magic...myriad of emotions... but slowly this actor brought me more closer to this character...I could feel his emotions like a poetry...it was like watching someone real..someone close ..Soon love for this character brought me to this place... A place where I defended him...thinking he was real... he needed to be defended...not realising for a second...that it was all fiction... Soon I was bowled over by offscreen actor who played this character...Actor named Barun Sobti came into picture...A soft spoken..humble human being...a goofy guy laughing and joking around..behind the camera...I could not believe...he was the same man...whose anger onscreen literally gave me goosebumps...When he says he is simple...he is indeed simple..and thus that simplicity was what held me...
You might think what got into me suddenly...why i remembered these things... and why I chose to share...coz i saw a man on my screen who was born to act...a man who had this conviction to make a character totally opposite to him..his own..that I forgot..Barun Sobti and ASR were different...and yet a man who is so simple..so down to earth... a rare people's star...Spellbinding performances...on a TV show...something that I had very less seen too...
After show ended...my respect just grew for the man whose silence stood out...whose ability to take his criticism and his stand on his decision...has made me respect him more...
So today Barun Sobti...when almost 8 months have passed since I saw you last onscreen...You are still my inspiration...my love for you has only grown in these months...a selfless love of a fan..who you may never meet ...whose existence is unknown to you...still there is someone somewhere praying for your success...coz you have given me joy of watching you perform..and perform magic onscreen...you have taught me how to handle worse with dignity...
I am not a future teller...neither I know your fate...I know one thing...and that is ..I have seen a spark in you...a spark to do your best in whatever you do...It will be long journey...but surely it will be worth watching your journey...
A Small gift from my side...a thanks to Barun Sobti..for ASR...for who he is...and for spreading so many smiles across world...❤️
