Mumbai’s entertainment scene is buzzing with insights from popular actor Barun Sobti, who recently shared his thoughtful views on love, relationships, and career longevity. In an exclusive conversation, the ‘Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon’ star emphasized that no relationship comes pre-packaged as perfect. Instead, it’s a joint effort between partners that requires constant nurturing.
‘Nobody hands you a perfect relationship on a platter,’ Barun stated candidly. ‘You have to build it together, day by day, with compromise, patience, and relentless effort.’ His words resonate deeply in an era where social media often glamorizes flawless romances, but Sobti cuts through the illusion with real-talk wisdom.
Reflecting on his own journey, Barun expressed gratitude for the overwhelming love from fans. ‘Receiving affection from people is the most beautiful feeling for any actor,’ he said. ‘It’s far better than hate, and it truly feels special.’ This humility has endeared him to audiences over the years.
Shifting gears to his professional life, Barun remains steadfast amid industry shifts. Despite the rise of social media and digital platforms, he prioritizes quality scripts above all. ‘The world has changed dramatically, but my focus hasn’t,’ he affirmed. ‘I’ve always trusted strong scripts, and now, they’re finally coming my way. Social media buzz doesn’t sway me.’
He advised aspiring talents to harness their unique strengths rather than chasing comparisons. ‘To stay relevant, use your abilities lifelong. Know where you fit best and where your talent shines brightest. Without that clarity, no work has meaning.’
Currently captivating viewers, Barun stars as the sharp investigator Amarpal Garundi in the second season of Netflix’s ‘Kohraa’, streaming since February 11. Joined by Mona Singh and Ranvijay Singha in key roles, the series promises gripping thrills and has already sparked widespread acclaim.
Barun Sobti’s balanced perspective on personal and professional growth offers a refreshing take, reminding us that true success, in love or career, demands dedication and self-awareness.
