Glad i stopped by,

In Di, wonderful thought...when i was first falling in love with the show, this character...i didn't know his name. I had to keep googling a few times before i got his name and as you know how engrossed i was in the show...after all i had to catchup to the remairriage when i started watching.

after the 20th or so epi, i had to really find out what he was about and the first vid i ever saw of him as Barun was the one where the reporter spends a day with him. couldn't believe it and was a little sad...i don't know why, he was so delightful, maybe that's what ASR isn't. I gues i was in love with ASR already by then that wanted him to be like that, but soon enough he grew on me and the rest is history...

I think there has to be part of him like ASR, for him to get ASR so well, it has to be there...maybe he just doesn't know it yet? its possible. I myself have learned that there is so much more in us that we don't tap into unless life makes us.

Indu and Kizh, agree with you guys...him trying to shun ASR and not giving himself enough credit for bringing him to life irks me too. i just want to shake him and show him ALL of those scenes that were not possible without Barun playing him...the voice alone does half the job dammit! 😆



yay,

purple lady, you arriveth. miss you on the thread... too much. ha ha, yes, i too had fallen for asr a bit too much by the time i saw barun on an sbs (gosh the things i do for this guy) and thought oh that's a cute prancing mad one and um sexy too. also from delhi shelli oh my city, where me was teenager and had all tremors and trembles of early youth... the boys were the best there i have to say.

the reporter day spend was a great one, i too thought, what!!! this unshaven creature with hair flopping is the man??? and what is this very bad sense of humour... remember something about three rules of driving... okay i am running to see the video.

back. he is gorgeous. and so so young and fresh and untouched by time and tide at this point. yeah, as i was saying, while i was exclaiming incredulously in my head how can that guy be this guy... i noticed the eyes... and those little things... when reporter says he is very chilled out... promptly a mumble, how do you know. all male, not at all camera conscious, very himself... hmmm, by the end of video, i was not shocked this man and that man are not from two different planets.

ami, he looks so terribly young and handsome in that video, and i was grateful he said "opportunity" without a long loud stress on the second "o". i am shallow. his colloquial way of speaking, with its not too perfected accent and sound... me somehow like.

this is such a fresh and happy actor with so much yet to be tapped.

i have a feeling, two things make him not go on about asr. though he loves asr madly alright. one is the fact that he was not happy on the sets later on, too much politics... as opposed to the more relaxed, encouraging and uncomplicated air of the bhph sets, he has mentioned that too somewhere and defended shravan, saying for him that was a wonderful role and it got him noticed, even for the casting of asr. and by the end of ipk, aaargh the stress and super politics. that somewhere tainted his memory, hurt him. this is my reading and chances of being wrong high. the second is more as an artist... everyone goes on about the whole asr thing, he does not wish to be restricted by it beyond a point... there's more to him, maybe something rears its head and says, don't bind me to just one role, i can do other things too. i think this can happen, especially after so many months of being the same character. it all gets a little claustrophobic.

but i was glad to see, now after a break of 18 months, and the away from media time, plus the successful shoot of a film he is pretty sure will release, he looks confident, happy, and when the interviewer said, your fans want you to say something, without any hesitation he replied, he knows what they want to hear and did a what the.

amitabh can never disown the angry young man. asr will always be a part of barun's oeuvre, make our memory of him, but he is not only asr... that i guess is what he wants to clearly establish.

you know ladies i truly understand how all of you feel. i know barun is an actor, i know he has played the character or i should say made the character of asr, i know he is probably sick and tired like the writer of stairway to heaven (by the way my prom theme) about talking about his role but what bothers me is every time i see him as barun, i don't see asr...i want to, i really, really want to but i don't, i just see a young goofy man...humble at times...proud other times but goofy most of the time. every time i see him i wish to see asr, that man, that character of a man who held the world in the palm of his hands and held our hearts there too. it depresses me to see the real him but then again it only tells me what a magnificent actor he truly is because he made me fall for a man like asr.😉

finally barun says what i and many of us have felt for a long time. daily soap is excruciating. it kills creativity... and nothing much was happening with his character. he reiterates he would love to do weekly shows.
i feel, really our tv scheds are chaotic and takes such atoll on actors. also all creatives. the constant changing story and track to suit channels yell for trp does not help.
a paranoia ridden format... ugh.

Thanks for sharing the article Indi di..It is so exciting to hear Barun's interviews... and no umm, aahs.. or did they not quote it 😆? He has wavy hair.. which has absolutely nothing to do with what am writing really 😊.. touch wood so much to look forward too..
I have liked other shows apart from IPK when they began..not gone crazy over them and joined an online forum etc etc.. still enjoyed the start of the story when everything is fresh..but soon invariably they would start to drag..the characters reach a saturation or die, get amnesia, plastic surgeries, multiple divorces.. or 'generation leaps'..after which staying invested in the characters usually just doesn't work for me.. even the best of stories, movies, song have to reach an end.. what goes up must come down.. so never ending dailies producing quality content consistently every weekday (sometimes even Saturdays) for years defies logic..

I am glad Barun gets a chance to say what he believes in.. would love to see him back on television acting.. if not (touch wood again) hope to see him in lots and lots of movies.. Iconic TV shows in the west have had tens of seasons with sharp storylines and great content.. sometimes even they lose charm midway, but there is usually an end in mind of the creators.. ASRs character arc became flat and Khushi disappeared somewhere along completly and am glad that someone was smart enough to not like it and get bored/bothered by it and walk away.. IPK still had lots of interesting story to tell. but by the end maybe noone even gave it any serious thought. There was not enough conflict left in what they did offer.. and I guess you need some motivation, some sense of climax for the story to not meander aimlessly but direct and reach your heart..

am not sure how to end the post so instead of bringing in a new long lost son into the conversation might as well end season 1 here..
