‘I hate being the centre of attention’ - BARUN SOBTI
The heartthrob of Indian television is making his debut on the silver screen with rom-com Main and Mr Riight and John Abraham’s production venture Satrah Ko Shaadi Hai.
Barun Sobti is a heartthrob of Indian television. He created history when days after his announcement of “moving on” from television and quitting his famous tele-series Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon show, thousands of his fans forced the broadcasting channel to shut it almost overnight.
Well, now audiences will get to see Sobti on the 70 mm screen as he makes his Bollywood debut with Main Aur Mr Riight. Shenaz Treasurywala will be seen paired opposite him. Talking about his upcoming release Barun shares, “It’s an urban love story which revolves around this girl who dreams of finding Mr Right. Aliya Raj (Shenaz) is a casting agent who has a vivid imagination that Mr Right will be a guy out of a fairy tale, a knight in shining armour who will come riding a white horse, etc. Soon the hero, Sukhi, enters her life. But unlike her dream man, this boy is a typical crude and complete dehati fellow who is a wannabe model/actor. The movie largely showcases how perceptions change and love looks beyond all inhibitions.”
When quizzed about what kind of homework did he do to portray a wannabe model, he shares, “Playing this character actually brought back memories from when I came to Mumbai for the first time. Before I started working in television, I auditioned for various advertisements. By nature, I am very shy and have an introvert kind of a personality. I hate being the centre of attention. So, back then I used to just sit and watch people go through the process. During those days, I remember that I went to at least 50-60 auditions. I used to observe all the other boys who overcame their inner fear and would go out of their way to show that they were so cool. Hence, for this particular role, I took all those memories from the past to portray Sukhi. He is a loud Punjabi wannabe actor and model.”
How does he feel about his transition from television to 70 mm? “Nai yaar, I don’t feel there is any transition. The Indian television industry is looking up. If you see in the US, the TV industry is far bigger and better than American cinema. Initially there was a bridge of sorts. But now I think actors from both the sides like working in both the media.”
After Main aur Mr Riight, Barun is looking forward to John Abhram’s production venture Satrah Ko Shaadi Hai directed by TV scriptwriter Arshad Sayeed, co-starring newbie Sapna Pabbi, who was last seen as Anil Kapoor’s daughter in the mini-series 24.
Informing about it, he shares, “It’s a very promising movie and I loved working with John. The film is about the five days of wedding and how the lead characters’ match is at the mercy of a bunch of relatives.”
Lastly, talking about his movie choices, he asserts, “Right from the time I started out, I have just focused on the script and have associated myself with movies that are heavy on content so that when people see, they know that it’s a good movie. I love doing intense characters because it has always been my forte. Also I got to know one thing that comedy is tough to pull out. It’s really heart breaking when people don’t laugh at your jokes. So, yeah I’ll stick to intense roles for now.”

It was my choice to sit at home - BARUN SOBTI
AFTER ALONG DELAY OF 18 MONTHS, ACTOR BARUN SOBTI'S DEBUT FILM MAIN AUR MR. RIGHT WILL FINALLY RELEASE ON DECEMBER 12. HE TELLS US ABOUT HIS UPCOMING FILMS AND HIS DESIRE TO WORK IN TELEVISION AGAIN AFTER THE HUGE SUCCESS OF HIS SHOW ISS PYAAR KO KYA NAAM DOON?
Prathamesh N Yadav
Prathamesh N Yadav
Tell us about your role in Main Aur Mr. Right.
I am playing a guy called Sukhvinder Singh ( Sukhi) who wants to be an actor. He is a very loud character just like how Punjabi guys are. He is a righteous guy who will do the right things himself and also ask other people to do right things.
Newcomers usually wish to make their debut in the industry with big banners and established directors but you have shown the guts to go with a new director.
Yes I agree that the newcomers wish to make their debut with established people but I chose to go with this film because I liked the script and that's the reason I took this risk. Now I have seen the film and thankfully all the hardwork has paid off and I believe that I haven't made a wrong decision.
What was the actual reason behind the film's delay and how is the film finally seeing the light of day after a long wait of 18 months?

What was the actual reason behind the film's delay and how is the film finally seeing the light of day after a long wait of 18 months?
This film was completed long ago but it got delayed because the producers weren't getting the right dates for the film. The makers were looking for the right slot of dates and finally they zeroed in on December 12 as the perfect day to release the film.
Also your other two films 22 Yards and Satra Ko Shaadi Hai are stuck. Does that disappoint you?
Also your other two films 22 Yards and Satra Ko Shaadi Hai are stuck. Does that disappoint you?
One cannot expect the film to release the very next day of its completion. Satra Ko Shaadi Hai is in its post- production and its final cut is getting ready. I think it should be out by early next year. Whereas 22 Yards is still incomplete and we will be shooting the remaining parts of the film very soon.
You are a very popular amongst the family audience due to your television shows. So would you like to carry the same image on the big screen too?

And will you be comfortable doing intimate scenes in the future? As an actor I don't want to impress only a particular audience. I would like to impress all my viewers and I am comfortable doing anything as far as it is for a film but only if I like the script.
You left television and got busy with your film assignments but none of your films got released. So what were you doing all these years?
You left television and got busy with your film assignments but none of your films got released. So what were you doing all these years?
To be frank I wasn't doing anything all these years except sitting at home and partying with my friends and family. It was my choice and I don't regret it. I had many options and offers but I wanted to come up with something good and I didn't think that sitting at home for some time and waiting for something good would harm my career in any way.
So will you ever get back to television if you get some good offers?
So will you ever get back to television if you get some good offers?
Of course I would come back. I would love to come back to television again as TV gets you your belonging and credibility. I would love to do fictional shows on television and not the daily soaps or reality shows because I don't act to achieve fame and popularity.
‘I’m not calling myself the best actor ever’ - BARUN SOBTI
As Barun Sobti’s debut film nears release after a delay of 18 months, he reveals why he quit TV, and why he is confident of his abilities
After a successful run on TV, Barun Sobti decided to quit the industry around 2012 when he got an offer to make his Bollywood acting debut. Since then, he has been awaiting the release of his film.
Now, over a year later, it will hit theatres next month. In the meantime, Barun has signed two other films, including one John Abraham production. Here, he talks about his delayed debut, why he quit TV, and more.
Were you expecting your debut film to get stalled for so long?
Films take time. After the shooting, there are other things that need to be done. There were also some date issues. I was excited about shooting for the film, but now I am just anxious about the release and the response.
While waiting for your debut movie to release, you shot for two other films. Are you afraid that your absence from TV and the limelight, in general, might lead to an out-of-sight-out-ofmind situation?
I’m not saying I am the best actor ever, but I am confident of my abilities, and so are the makers of the film I am working on. My work should speak, not being spotted on Page 3. I didn’t feel the need to jog the public’s memory or keep making appearances. As for TV, I stayed away from daily soaps deliberately because they demand hard work.
Is that why you quit TV?
I didn’t leave TV for films; I left it due to my health issues. I wasn’t keeping well, and I was losing weight due to the long working hours. But that doesn’t mean I am averse to TV. People think so, but I am not graduating into anything. Neither am I trying to make or break an image.
There are a lot of TV actors who will soon be seen making their Bollywood debuts. What do you think of this trend?
It’s a good time for everyone, and I am glad I am here at this time. There was a time when one couldn’t dream of being an actor if they weren’t well-connected or they weren’t a star kid. But today, people are willing to take a chance with TV actors.

Barun’s inspired by Dabangg Khan
Barun Sobti must be a
relieved man. His debut film Main Aur Mr Riight is finally making it to
the screens. The teaser has just been released. In the film, Barun is
shown to be a huge fan of Salman. In one of the scenes, the actor will
be seen sporting Being Human T-shirt and long hair which Salman sported
in his film hit Tere Naam. In fact, his entire look in the film is
inspired by Dabangg Khan.
To get into the skin of Salman, Barun did
workshops and saw many films of the superstar. Even in real life Barun
is a big fan of the actor. “Who isn’t a fan of Salman Khan these days? I
have read a lot about him and I really admire him for the things he has
done for people. I would consider myself lucky if I can be half as
helpful,” says Barun best known for his serial Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam
Doon.
Barun Sobti plays a Salman Khan fan in Main aur Mr. Riight
Barun Sobti, who essays the role of an avid Salman Khan fan in Main aur Mr. Riight, went all out to get under the skin of his character. While Barun’s look in the film is inspired by the superstar, the actor not only sports Being Human t-shirts in the film but will also sport his signature long hair from 'Tere Naam' which became a rage at the time of the film’s release.
Barun did a workshop for his role and even watched all of Salman Khan’s films to understand his body language.

Barun Sobti - Shenaz Treasurywala's MAIN AUR MR RIIGHT trailer launched
MAIN AUR MR RIIGHT, a Madmidaas Films presentation launched the second look and the trailer of their film today.
The trailer features actress Shenaz Treasurywala along with television actor & heartthrob Barun Sobti as the lead couple. It gives fans an insight into the characters of Aliya and Sukhi - two people who are complete opposites and yet are perfect for each other or maybe not? That is the question the trailer explores.
Aliya, a perfectionist, is waiting for her Mr Riight, the guy who will complement her perfectly and Sukhi is a struggling actor with a reckless personality. The film explores the complex dynamics of a relationship in a humorous way. The trailer shows how Aliya tries to change Sukhi into Mr. Right, but will she succeed?
The film is a humorous take about complex dynamics of two people in love but completely opposite in nature. This light romantic movie shows the various perceptions that people have with regard to finding their soul mate. The film features a completely different avatar of popular television actor Barun Sobti.

Barun Sobti at NM College Umang 2014
So on Monday, the news broke that Barun Sobti would be attending the NM College's annual Umang Event. The words probably every Sobtian was waiting to hear since Barun's last appearance The Miss Malini hangout. So with a hashtag #BarunSobtiAtUmang decided,alarms set and non Mumbaiker's wishing they could move there,we all waited till the first of the tweets came through.The excitement was palpable !
The event was scheduled for 1.30pm IST, and moments before we got the tweet from Pooja Dutta, Barun's manager that they were indeed on their way ! This did little to quell the *dhak dhak* that was present in the hearts of us all. Pretty soon Sobtians made their way to the auditorium where the contest would be held, but as we soon found out, this was a popular event ! As a result some fans couldn't get in, but kudos to them for waiting outside(you guys rock!)
Then it came, Megha, another member of staff from Astrus Talents, posted the pic we had waited 3 months to see ! Barun, black t-shirt, faded jeans and black converse ! Not to mention a curly hairstyle, which had the author of this post questioning the similarity with her own hairstyle. None the less it was a sight for sore eyes for all of us and just a few pictures surely wouldn't be enough !
And it really wasn't, we were treated to an interview by Radio Mirchi Mumbai, in which Barun talked about the government and the budget, which we are told is on all day?
Tweets from fan's inside the auditorium were mixed from describing Barun as a 'Greek God' to the reactions of other members of the crowd. It wasn't till after the event was over and fans had recovered from their Sobti induced euphoria, that some where lucky to get pics with him and some awesome fans sang him Happy Birthday, to which our ever humble Barun smiled and said thank you.

As previously informed by Vibha Ji, a crew from Saas Bahu Aur Saazish also interviewed Barun, and we were all treated to a shot teaser this afternoon, as per usual we were all floored, and dare I say fell a little bit more in love with the guy ! The whole segment will be shown tomorrow for which we all cannot wait to see !

Barun Sobti at NM College Umang 2014 - A fan's experience
Today, was an eventful day in more than one way for Sobtians. Barun Sobti today attended the NM College Umang event to judge the Battle Of The VJ's contest. So while many of us eagarly awaited pictures, videos and tweets from the event, a few lucky Sobtians got to actually be there in person. One such Sobtian was Monisha who wrote an account of her experience today.
Inspite of living in Mumbai, I had never met Barun till now. But I always had a feeling that I would meet him some day. And today, I did!
He came 10 minutes before the event was supposed to start. The feeling I got when I saw him from such a short distance, I cannot explain! He was accompanied by Meghaa Ruparel and another woman. After he had settled down, I shouted' HIIIIII BARUN!' He looked at me and said hi(and also a wave) in such a cute way my heart just melted!
He came 10 minutes before the event was supposed to start. The feeling I got when I saw him from such a short distance, I cannot explain! He was accompanied by Meghaa Ruparel and another woman. After he had settled down, I shouted' HIIIIII BARUN!' He looked at me and said hi(and also a wave) in such a cute way my heart just melted!
Meghaa offered to take a photo for me so I handed over my phone to her. Previously she had been clicking away on her iPad so when Barun saw my phone in her hand he, in the typical shocked sobti tone said, " tere phone ko kya hua!"
There was also a participant who was talking about section 377 in India( it deals with homosexuality). She asked Barun about his views. He said he was pro gay and supported them. The audience hooted and then Barun said, "Hey I said I'm pro gay. I'm not gay!"
Another participant who was hosting big boss asked him whether he would like to participate in the show. She told him he would get 1 crore and a one week holiday with Dolly Bindra. Barun replied, " I'll participated provided you don't give me Dolly Bindra"
But later on he refused to participate in BB in spite of the prize money. Now that's our Sobti ;)
There was also a participant who became a bit nervous on stage and asked for some time. Barun very generously allowed her to go out and gave her a second chance!
The event finally came to an end. He was called on stage and he said few things which I didn't hear because I was busy staring.
All the girls took a group selfie with him( I was squished) and then he exited. We ran after him right till the road. We didn't even realize that it was raining. We finally saw him for one last time before he was frisked off to his car by the security assistant.
What a day!!
What a day!!
I along with a friend of mine reached college one hour before the event was supposed to start. We went to the venue and asked an assistant where Barun was going to sit. She pointed to the first row on the other side of the hall. A group of 7-8 girls(Barun fans too) had already occupied the 2nd row. There were only 2 spots left in the corner. We ran and took those seats. We were given clear instructions that we were not allowed to take pictures with him. Oh well!
In the event war of VJs, the participants were given a show(jhalak, big boss etc) and they had to host the first episode. Barun was so cute he just sat there as if he is part of the audience. When a participant asked the audience who is from Delhi here, Barun raised his hand too!

Ahtesham Azad Khan - In Conversation with TeamBARUN
01. Tell us about you! How did you get involved in Acting?
Well, That's a question I ask my self daily before sleep and when I wake up. But I have to thank god that I can act well and credit must go to my father Mr. Maqbool Wajid who supported a lot in the beginning and recommended that I join an acting school. From there two great souls came into my life Mr. Sunil Gaikawad andTana-ji who helped me in joining a theatre in Bhopal with K.G Trivedi (Chacha). In 2008, I was a commerce student, and then graduated with a B COM in Tourism from Career College in Bhopal, from there I was selected to join 'Sapnoke Bhanwar' on Life OK, as well as Savdan India on the same channel. I was also involved in the movie 'Pied Piper' which had a cameo appearance by Rajpal Yadav. I am also awaiting the imminent release of 'Mainu Ek Ladki Chaahiye' that stars Raghubir Yadav, Puru Chibber, Reecha Sinha, Yatin Kariyeka and Zakir Hussain. I can say acting is like' lahumuh lag gay'.
02. Who is your role model or ideal in acting industry?
This is a question I just love, and can answer in my sleep, It is none other than Shahrukh Khan, he is just awesome. For style, Arjun Rampal, and the list goes on Naseer Saheb, Raghubir Yadav, Zakir Hussain.
03. What are the tips to become a successful actor?
I don't think I can give any tips as I don't think so that I am in such a position to give this mantra! You tell me if you have one or if any one can give me, I will welcome, but I am glad to say just do your work with passion in your heart whatever you are doing.
04. What profession other than yours would you like to attempt?
I think I would be an automobile guru or gadgets guru who give good advise for your profit. I think I could be a good politician.. (laughs)

07. What kind of role you want to do the most?
Every kind of role, I have to do everything as an actor I want sab kuch, I am a little selfish for every role after that people will decide what I can do best or what not..
