Barun Sobti to ACT IN PLAY Do Phool Chaar Maali

Telebuzz has always kept its viewers happy is back with the latest news from Tellyland. We had earlier reported that the cast of Iss Pyar Ko Kya Naam Doon was getting together for a play named Do Phool Char Maali. But it was not confirmed if Barun and Sanaya will be a part of this play.

Was Liked By All And Set A New Bench-Mark In The History Of Indian Television.

Indian TV star Barun Sobti visits Dubai fan’s house

[Trebuie sa fiti înscris şi conectat pentru a vedea această imagine]

ubai-based Anjalika Gupta wouldn’t have missed her brother’s wedding celebrations in Delhi for the world. Her flights were booked and the shopping sorted. All was good until a fateful telephone call. The voice at the other end informed her that she had won the Pehla subscriber contest and her favourite TV star, Barun Sobti, would be visiting her in her home in Mirdif. And what girl in her right mind wouldn’t put off her travel plans for a day to spend some time with the golden boy of television?

“It was a dream come true. I thought I had won tickets for the play but having him visit my house was unbelievably good. So now I am off to Delhi tommorrow,” said Gupta, who looked flushed from all the action on Sunday. The contest conducted by Pehla Media & Entertainent was a part of their anti-piracy drive to curb the use of unlicensed satellite feeds on dish TV.

Unlike Bollywood stars, television star Sobti wasn’t tardy, walking in and warmly hugging Gupta before settling himself on her couch. He brought along his colleagues, TV stars Akshay Dogra and Utkarsha Naik, who were a part of his play Do Fool Char Maali staged in Dubai last weekend. Like two old friends, there were no signs of awkwardness between the star and his fan.

“Anjali, the reception to our play was unreal. The energy that you get from the viewers while you stage a play is just so different. Each time we spoke, we had fans hollering for more … loved it,” said Sobti. He even let her in on an on-stage disaster. The temporary sets were about to fall down and Sobti had to do some improvisation and call for a break.

“We could hear the hooks giving way. All I knew was that we had to sort out the situation. Fortunately, viewers went along with it. They were just hollering for more. Nothing prepares us for that kind of love,” said Sobti.

Such a frenzied reactions from fans [mostly women] are expected. Viewers will recall his decision to quit the hit serial Iss Pyar Ko Kya Naam Do evoked extreme reactions from fans, with hate mail pouring in and dramatic threats that they would set themselves on fire if he didn’t change his decision. The serial — TV’s answer to a Mills & Boon romance — saw Sobti playing callous, smouldering business tycoon Arnav Singh Raizada, who discovers love in the dainty Khushi Kumari Gupta.

“It’s going to be my sixth million time that I am going to say this: it was my health issues that made me quit. I had no film offers in hand at that time,” said Sobti. His fan Gupta was quick to put things into perspective.

“It was a pleasure to watch them on screen and they were so graceful together. They bowed out gracefully and the serial ended in a dignified manner,” said Gupta who watches Hindi TV serials daily with her mother from 7-11pm.

In July, Sobti will make his Bollywood debut in Main Aur Mr Right, romancing former VJ Shenaz Treasurywala in the romantic comedy.

“Working in a TV serial or a film isn’t very different. You just have to give it your all in front of the camera,” said the actor. Bringing to mind the old adage that the camera adds ten pounds, both Sobti and Dogra turned their faces away from the goodies that came along when refreshments were served.

“We just had tea,” they said in unison.

But after some prodding they took a tiny bite of some baklava. Our guess: it was their lone sugar treat of the week. With no starry airs, it was endearing to hear them discuss their shopping plans in Dubai. After their visit to Gupta’s residence, mall-trawling was at the top of their agenda.

“We have been busy rehearsing all week, but now it’s time for some fun. I want to buy at least three sunglassses. I saw so many good ones, the golden-rimmed ones will look fantastic on the big screen,” said Sobti. His parting message?

“Piracy is like cheating. Each time you download a song or a movie illegally, you are eroding the fabric of our entertainment industry,” said Sobti.

* Sony is telecasting the Pehla home visit on May 17.

Mrunal Jain to replace Farhan Khan in Chhanchhan?
The frenzy surrounding Chhanchhan’s hero continues even as we get the news that the current male lead Farhan Khan might be replaced.
[Trebuie sa fiti înscris şi conectat pentru a vedea această imagine]
Chhanchhan which also stars the very attractive Sanaya Irani and veteran actors Supriya Pathak and Anang Desai has become quite a popular show. However, model Farhan Khan who debuted on Indian television with Chhanchhan is in for a rude shock.

Our reliable source says that since Farhan is a newcomer he takes lot of time to give a perfect shot. His many retakes delay the shoot irritating his co-actors. While producer Vipul Shah and no one from the channel was ready to talk about the same, our source says, "This is Farhan's first TV show so everyone thought of giving him some time but he is just not getting it right. It is more than a month but he shows no signs of improvement. The hunt is on for a good actor to replace him and Mrunal Jain maybe the one who will most probably replace Farhan. The others being considered are Barun Sobti and Arjun Bijlani."

While Mrunal Jain who recently got engaged is currently seen as Vishnu in Uttaran and Arjun Bijlani is seen as Dev, an undercover police officer in the Star Plus show Kaali-Ek Punar Avtaar, Barun Sobti made a hit pair with Sanaya in Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon before moving on to greener pastures in Bollywood.

Even before Chhanchhan was launched these very names were considered for the male lead along with model-actor Vishal Karwal who had said that time that he turned down the offer due to less payment. Even Sanaya's beau Mohit Sehgal had given a look test for the same role. The finalization of the male lead opposite Sanaya was a major struggle for all involved and the same seems to be happening yet again.

While we wait for the official announcement keep reading TellyBuzz for more details.

Hey Ram! Best Friends with God himself – Heroines of 4 Lions Shows
[Trebuie sa fiti înscris şi conectat pentru a vedea această imagine]
We all to God. In times of need, in times of difficulties and in times of happiness. There is a Kabir doha which goes, “Dukh mein sumiran sab karein, Sukh mein karein na koi, Jo Sukh Mein Sumiran karein, Toh Dukh Kahe ko hoye!” It means, in times of difficulties, people remember God, if you remember God in every deed that you do, then why would anything seem difficult.

Perhaps the heroines of 4 Lions Films have taken into cognizance this and take God’s name in everything they do. Be it Babaji, Devi Maiyya, Gannuji or Allah Miya they have embraced God as their best friend. He is the first person they remember in anything they do. The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.
Suvreen Guggal

There is of course lot more in common among the heroines of 4 Lions shows besides the best friend, the God. While Geet Handa (Dharshti Dhami), Khushi Kumari Gupta (Sanaya Irani), Suvreen Guggal (Smiriti Kalra) or Zoya Farooqui (Surbhi Jyoti) talk to God, they are also essentially very impulsive people, head strong and have the joie de vivre that every girl who watches them on screen can identify with. Simple and down to earth, they make people feel good around them. They spread laughter and fun.

Of course, there will be people who will say each of the characters of 4 Lions Films are same. We would say they are similar. Don’t we find people who are like us? Well, one can assume so is the case here or of course, the people who create them have thought of them in similar fashion. There are differences though subtle yet sure. Each goes through different set of experiences. One had to leave her family and find a life for herself, hence Geet – Hui Sabse Parayi. In Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon, the girl falls in love with a man who is first committed to someone else but ends up marrying the man for her sister. In Suvreen Guggal, her spunk and determination leads her to new city where new friends and new enemies are part of her life and for Zoya Farooqui, she is in search of her roots.

Each story is a journey of a girl either from being a girl to womanhood, search for family or search for self. But all these girls have one thing in common. They believe in God. One of the biggest example of God fearing character in 4 Lions Films shows has been Anjali Jha played by Daljeet Bhanot who followed rituals to the T. Would you identify with her? Of course, Lovely Guggal, is another prime example of conducting poojas for the well being of her daughters or marks in Suvreen Guggal – Topper of the year. What makes one a devout follower of God? Is it faith, fear or forbearance?

We want to know if you believe in God, destiny and how you relate to these girls if at all. What about these girls you like and don’t like?
Qubool Hai


You have watched other shows of 4 Lions Films, be is Sia played by Abigail Jain in Humse Hai Life who was determined to succeed as a boxer which was her passion or girl like Aayesha Kapoor played by Shital Shah in Arjun – Har Yug Mein Aayega Ek who has found a place in what is essentially a man’s world or the latest additions of Liza D’cruz played by Ritu Chauhan or Sakshi Anand played by Mrunal Thakur who have science and research as their mettle. What about Roshni played by Samiksha or Riya played by Sana Khan? Do you think any of these girls believe in God?

Lets talk.

TV STAR BARUN SOBTI

Life After His Hit Soap
[Trebuie sa fiti înscris şi conectat pentru a vedea această imagine]
'I DON'T FEEL LIKE A STAR'

Six months after his show Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon was abruptly pulled off air, the shy and unassuming star addresses the frenzy around his exit

Days after quitting the hugely popular show Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon in November last year, actor Barun Sobti was enjoying some alone time with his wife Pashmeen in London, blissfully unaware of the hysteria he had caused back home. Daunted by Barun's angry female fans, the show's producer had abruptly pulled the plug on the soap, putting the entire cast and crew out of a job without much warning. There were reports of women threatening to ransack the sets of the show and committing suicide. "I was shocked and upset. People warned me about this kind of reaction but I told them that the show's story was its biggest hero. I thought it would go on without me," says the 29-year-old.

While most actors thrive on adulation, Barun is distinctly uncomfortable with it. In fact, he studiously avoids attention. "Initially, I did only print ads. I was so conscious that photographers had to push me to pose. I didn't think I was going to make it big," confesses the actor. Even now, when mobbed by fans, Barun secretly prays he doesn't have to sign autographs. "I get nervous and shy when I get attention," he explains, adding, "I don't feel like a star."

Yet, he has already joined the league of TV stars trying to replicate their success in Bollywood. Encouraged by the achievements of Sushant Singh Rajput who hit the jackpot with his super-hit film Kai Po Che! , Barun still has a pragmatic take on his own chances. "The odds of making it big in Bollywood are lesser than making it in TV," he reasons. In an exclusive photo shoot to PEOPLE, his first-ever for a magazine, the reluctant star opens up on life before acting, his future films and being married to his childhood sweetheart.

The Early Years

Showbiz was never Barun's first career option. After completing this schooling from New Delhi's St. Mark's School, he began working at just 17 to ease his father Raj Sobti's financial burden. Seven years into toiling at a call centre, he decided to give acting a go on the advice of his friends, including Karan Wahi (Dr. Sid of Dill Mill Gayye), who had already bagged TV shows. At the time, Barun was an Operations Manager with Jindal Telecom and already 25 years old, considered too old for a debut by industry standards. His parents weren't too pleased at the idea of him switching to a career where his future was so uncertain. "I couldn't just leave before making sure that my parents would still be comfortable if my income stopped coming in for a year," he says. Despite the obvious risks, he decided to take a chance.

When The Going Got Tough
Luckily for Barun, his first role came easy. He landed a part in Star Plus's Shraddha (2008) while he was still in Delhi. But the show took four long months to get off the ground and when it did, its dismal ratings pulled it off air within just three months. With finances drying up, the pressure to find work was mounting on Barun. "My father was getting impatient because whenever I called, he sensed dejection in my voice. He gave me a couple of months more to try and make it," he says. For Barun, it was his poor performance on the show that was most disappointing. "When the show went off air, I didn't cry for a second chance. Instead I told myself, 'You didn't deserve to be in it'."

Soon after Shraddha tanked, Barun auditioned for the part of Dr. Siddhant Modi in the medical drama Dill Mill Gayye (DMG). His hopes to get the role were quashed the minute his childhood friend Karan (Wahi) auditioned for the same role. "The producer walked into the audition and finalized Karan without even doing a look test. He felt very guilt," recalls Barun with a laugh. As he went through a series of failed auditions, Barun convinced himself that he didn't have the talent to make it as an actor. "Once after an audition, I was so dejected that I almost gave up." He says.

Three months later, Barun got another chance to star in DMG, but this time for another part. On his portrayal of Dr. Raj Singh, a drug addict, he says, "I don't think I did a great job but I loved that character." He finally found satisfaction in his work when he started working on Sony TV's Baat Hamari Pakki Hai (2010). Playing a character that was closer to his real self gave his confidence a much-needed boost. "I played a comic and that's what I've been doing all my life-making my family, friends and wife laugh."

Rise To Stardom

After singing IPKKND in 2011, Barun had his first brush with stardom. His portrayal of Arnav Singh Raizada, an arrogant businessman with a good heart was a hit amongst female viewers. "Through the show, I realized what kind of mammoth popularity a TV actor can have. I usually don't look around when I'm walking, but I could feel everyone's eyes on me." Even then, Barun didn't take his fame seriously till he was awarded the Best Actor (Popular) trophy at the Global Indian Film and TV Honors in 2012. Thereafter he, won many others, consolidating himself as one of the top actors on TV.

But he knew this dream run had to end. The punishing schedules of a daily soap began taking a toll on his health. "I thought I'd die if I continued shooting for over 12 hours a day," he says. While his fans were going hysterical with the news of his exit, the atmosphere on the set was quite emotional. "On my last day, all the technicians and spot boys wanted to hug me. They said they had never seen an actor who was so popular and grounded at the same time. That really overwhelmed me."

The Bollywood Dream

Contrary to rumours, Barun denies giving up his TV career to pursue Bollywood. Even now, with two films in the pipeline, he's open to doing a TV show when the right project comes along. Film offers had begun pouring in while he was still on the show, but he never considered it a full-time career. "For a non-actor like me, getting even a break in TV was bleak," says Barun, who signed Main Aur Mr. Riight opposite Shehnaz Treasury last February.

He hopes his second film, Mitali Ghoshal's 22 Yards, in which he plays a cricket agent, will be the real game changer. "Unlike Main Aur Mr. Riight, I'm not working in double shifts with IPPKND. So if I don't do well in this one, then I'll deserve to have my ass kicked," he says, laughing.

MY CHILDHOOD SWEETHEART
Barun's earliest memory of his wife Pashmeen Manchanda dates back to when they were in Class 9. She had joined his class after moving in from an all girls' school and since then, Barun has had eyes only for her. "There was a bunch of hot girls that came to our school and Pashmeen was one of them. If she would be standing at the door of the class chatting with a friend, I used to frequently walk past her to drink water," he recalls.

As they got closer, Barun knew he had found his life partner, but Pashmeen needed convincing. When she moved to Australia to study finance at the La Trobe University, the couple decided to make theirs a long-distance relationship. "We'd meet once a year and a couple of years, we didn't meet at all," he says, adding, "But I used to love missing her. It was heartening that we were so much in love even though we didn't get to see each other that often."

In December 2010, the couple tied the knot in a simple ceremony with just their families in attendance. Barun, who was busy shooting for Baat Hamari Pakki Hai, squeezed a day off from work. "She's very accommodating. But she used to ask me to take time off and I always made sure I got at least one day off to be with her." She's equally understanding of Barun's growing female fan following and the constant controversies. Recently, Barun was bothered by speculation that they were getting divorced. "But when I called Pashmeen and said, 'Do you know people think we are getting divorced?' she answered, 'Yeah, I think so too. You were supposed to call me five hours back'. That's how cool she is," he says with a smile.

MOMENTS OF TRUTH

HIS FIRST AUTOGRAPH

"We were shooting for Baat Hamari Pakki Hai in Mussoorie and people recognized me from DMG since the show was a hot favourite (see pic, below). I was so awkward signing autographs that the still photographer on the set took pictures of my conscious expression. I always that I don't that I don't have to sign autographs because my handwriting is so bad. I try to convince fans to take pictures with me instead."


GETTING MOBBED AT A WEDDING

"In December last year, at my cousin's wedding, it got so bad that they had to push me out of the venue. I attended the rest of it sitting inside my car, sneaking a peek at the jaymala and pheras."

MEETING HIS IDOL

"Sachin Tendulkar is the only person who I wouldn't mind walking up to and telling him what a big fan I am. Once we were in Film City and Sachin was shooting for an ad in the next studio. When he walked past us, Sanaya (Irani) told him I was a big fan. I just ran to the back of my van and refused to come out. I was like 14-year-old fangirl. Sanaya had to stop Sachin thrice before I mustered the courage to shake his hand."

BEING CALLED UNATTRACTIVE

"Very recently, I was on a flight when an airhostess wanted a photograph with me. She asked the pilot to click it and he thought since the engine was still whirring, I wouldn't be able to hear him when he said, "Iski photo leni hai?' (laughs). But that doesn't bother me because the number of people who think I am good looking is far more."

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

Barun’s message to you
'BARUN SOBTI takes the big leap from tv to films and sends a message to his calcutta fans via t2
[Trebuie sa fiti înscris şi conectat pentru a vedea această imagine]
He almost sent our mailbox crashing with the flood of fan feedback. Urged on by you the t2 reader, we set up a chat with TV heart-throb Barun Sobti who is all set to shoot his second Bollywood film, 22 Yards, this month in Calcutta.

Are you aware that you have a huge female fan base in Calcutta?

I was not aware of it and I would like to apologise for that. I am thankful to all of them for their love. I am going to shoot in Calcutta this month and will get to see a lot of Calcutta then. Thanks for remembering me and liking my work. I am happy and grateful.

Do you know that your female fans call you ‘Hotwa’?

(Laughs) I know, I know! I get lot of gifts and stuff with that (Hotwa) written on it.

Your female fans think that you are very sexy — where do you think your sex appeal lies?

I have no idea! (Laughs)

What do you make of all the love and attention showered on you?

It’s heartening. It’s better than not getting love. People like you and love you and are more confident than you are about what you are doing. It is encouraging and I am glad to be receiving so much love.

Your fans want to see you in Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon Season 2 (the STAR Plus show that made Barun a household name). They have even petitioned STAR Plus and lobbied online to bring you back...

At present I am caught up a lot. I don’t have an idea if I can do television anytime soon.

Sushant Singh Rajput made a successful transition from TV to films with Kai Po Che!. Aren’t you nervous with your first film, Main Aur Mr Riight, set to release soon?

Not really. Usually an actor is nervous during the takes and shoots and while filming the scenes, not once the film is complete. Main Aur Mr Riight will be releasing by mid-July but I really don’t know how I would feel when the release date is near.

What can you tell us about your character in Main Aur Mr Riight?

I play a wannabe actor and model who is struggling in Bollywood... there are so many of us (like that). He is a righteous kind of jovial character.

And in 22 Yards?

I play Ron Sen, a very intense kind of character. He is a cricket agent.We are going to begin shooting from May 20 and as the date of shoot is nearing, I am getting nervous. The film will be shot in Calcutta, Mumbai and Delhi.

We have S.M. Zaheer, Manoj Joshi and Vikram Kochhar in the film. Music is by Salim-Sulaiman, Amitabh Bhattacharya has given the lyrics and Mitali Ghoshal is the director.

You left television because you felt stressed out. Five months on, have you relaxed a bit?

I am very eased out and I feel exactly like the person who has been on a vacation for five months!

Your Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon co-star Sanaya Irani has come back with a new show, Chhanchhan. Have you managed to catch any of the episodes?

I saw the promos and recently watched a couple of episodes of Chhanchhan. She is doing fine.

Recently you went to Dubai for a play. How are you managing to juggle so many things?

The play was Do Fool Chaar Maali that was actually conceptualised by Akshay (Dogra, who played Akash in Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon) while we were doing Iss Pyaar Ko.... It had got a nod from all of us and we agreed to be a part of it. I had committed and so I was a part of it.

Coming back to your fandom, how does your wife Pashmeen react to the craze that you spark among girls?

There is nothing much to react to. People who approach us are all dignified people and it’s nice to meet them.

Who have you been a crazy fan of?

Sachin Tendulkar! I am a great fan of his.

Although he had acted in various shows before, it was Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon — in which he played a typical Mills & Boon hero — that made him the heart-throb of the soap-watching nation. Five months ago, Barun decided to exit the show for a film career.

His fans couldn’t bear his replacement and bombarded the STAR Plus office with phone calls day and night to either bring him back or end the show. The show had to be pulled off air!

When he quit, the channel had to run a disclaimer — a first in the history of Indian television! — informing viewers that one of the main leads had decided to quit the show to pursue a career in films and so the show had to end
abruptly.

Barun’s female fans are not affected by his married status. The 28-year-old Delhi dude married his childhood sweetheart Pashmeen Manchanda in December 2010.
t2 attempts to decode what made Barun’s Arnav Singh Raizada in Iss Pyaar Ko Kya

Naam Doon such a hot favourite.

His signature smirk: Arrogant and rude on the outside, Barun’s bad boy ways made him a fave with his fans. Tyrant boss or exasperating husband, we girls loved that wicked smirk.

His eyes: Don’t we love those light eyes? Whether it was the naughty Shravan of Baat Hamari Pakki Hai or the intense Arnav of Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon, he spoke a thousand words through his eyes.

His whisper: There have been times when we have strained our ears and still missed his words but his soft voice does send a happy tingle down our spine.

His chemistry: They are fondly called Arshi (Arnav+Khushi). Both of them won the Best Pair crown at most TV award functions last year. Their rabba-ve moments (Arshi fans know what we are talking about, right?) remain with us and often go into replay mod

Jay Bhanushali approached to replace Farhan Khan in Chhanchhan

While the makers of recently launched Chhanchhan have been vehemently denying any truth to the rumours of replacing male lead Farhan Khan, sources insist the auditions are on full swing.

Apparently, the latest name to have been approached to replace the male lead of the show is of Jay Bhanushali. The actor is currently readying himself to host the upcoming dance reality show, Dance India Dance Supermoms. Incidentally, newbie Farhan has been working hard on himself to fit the bill but has failed to impress the audience. The lead couple played by Sanaya Irani and Farhan have failed to establish any chemistry between them. Hence, the producers are looking out for a suitable face that could replace the original male lead.

Says the source, "Yes, Jay has been approached but there are many others who have been approached, too. Things are yet to materialise. But the channel and the production house are not on the same page as far as the replacement is concerned. While the production house wants to replace the actor, the channel is against the idea."

We sent a text message to Jay and producer Vipul D Shah, but they didn't revert to our text messages.

"I used to live in Spain during my early growing up years. There was a supermarket near our house and I would make drawings on a paper with crayons and sell them at that supermarket. The foreigners there were sweet enough to buy my paintings and drawings. Though, I won't term it as a full-fledged salary, it was my first earning as I used to spend that amount to buy chocolates for myself."
