How is fatherhood serving you
It's awesome
it's to
all those idiotic people who
who always told me it's a
difficult job
I just want to say that
it's and a
to a people who are looking forward to
being a parent
there not a fuller feeling that you'll have
but it's not like
ya it's not very often like
you google yourself or you
I'm not interesting
What is it that keeps you so grounded
stardom is the official thing
the point is that
it's something that you imagine
in your head and
like whole concept is the thing
Froude what stardom
He's televisions superstar but
seldom you'll find a person
who's not chasing super stardom
and we are talking about Barun Sobti
who never receives call
Welcome to PINKVILLA
Thank you for doing this
first of all tell me before we go on
to talk about Asur which is your next
on voot
I want to know
when was the last time you actually
googled yourself
because I don't think you ever googled
your self at all
nothing like that I must have done
but I don't know the last time
there must be some talk on it for sure
really
what happens with us is
people put video's and stuff online so
ya so this discussion happens with
me and my wife like
they put that video also
I think I must have done
But I think
ya it's not very often you've googled
yourself or you
I'm not interesting
I don't know why you say about
but I'm sure your fans will disagree
because they find you really interesting
and I think one complaint they
obviously have with you is
why ain't you
on social media
approachable
to them
because they miss you on screen
they've to wait for a long time to
to see you back on screen
and you're not there on social media too
so there is no way for them to reach you
I really don't wanna answer them but ya
But the point is that
I must select
circle of people that I need to take care of
the point is I'm very busy with
taking care of the
one's that I'm committed to taking care of
my family and my friends
so I'm a very basic person basically
But I don't like being on social media
and obviously that
makes the whole thing unapproachable
but if someone has to walk up to me
and say Hi
I'm not the kind of person who's going to say
shut up
I'm not that kind of person
but at the same time
the real life that I'm living is
very important
ya you want to live life your way
I think it's only fair
like you said I'm not running after things
I know my reality and
I also know what things matter in my life
ya before we come to that I want to talk
about Asur because the last time
I spoke to you
you said it is a very challenging character
on paper especially on that point
now from that to now what has changed
what was the most exciting part to play
a charcater
there was a
see as an actor what happens
when you read the script
when you go into shoot and you read them
and you little scared to do things
Asur for me didn't have any of those
what Asur had for me was
everything that I wanted to check myself
doing
and when
also I committed a lot at a point
there was a very very demanding sequence
and that committed way too much to it
and
everyone along with me
I remember I was so committed into whole thing
that there was not 1 person smiling
at that time and
after completing I know
that I did it well
there's a million ways of doing it
but out of good and bad
I'm sure it's good because
I know my light guys who were applauding
and they were like talking about
stuff like that
everyone who done pumping and stuff
so that's the
I was excited first
now I'm assured
since you mention about your performance
how do you gage that what you've done is
good bad or worst
for different characters of course
I will tell you
good bad people decides obviously
No I think self assurance
what happens is when you read a script
you understand according to your
understanding obviously
it is suppose to be done like this
but it's not mandatory that
it will happen exactly the same that day
so wen that doesn't happen
that time you get to know
that whatever I thought it didn't go
but people find that also good sometimes
ya that is on people what they like
we exactly preciesly know that
whether I did it or not
because we set out own benchmarks
and what about criticism
where do you get that from
I don't receive any
but there must be someone
whom you look up to
okay this is what I've done
please tell me where do you
think I can improve or where do you
think I was really good
I'm not saying
I have a superior complex or anything like that
but I know very well that I understand
things well
and when I'm doing thing wrong
I know that I've done it wrong
Everytime
Everytime I've seen
the final product or whatever I've done
I've come back home I've told my wife
that this
went wrong
and this went amazing
kind of a thing
the only person I think I believe that
if someone's
opinion that I really
without thinking is my wife of course
she is a very sensible person
and pretty much on the same page
she's little more kinder
she'll say it very nicely to you
that ,maybe something here it went good
okay I want to understand now
what is your process like as an actor
because you've done
actually I think you've been very selective
with your work from whatever we have seen
and everything very different
I know you'll yes that;s the point
but than you know what happens
is sometimes actors
I know so many actors who're waiting for
those kind of projects to come by way
does that get difficult to pick those
because in television especially there's
a huge chance of getting type cast
how do you
I can't say certain process or anything
you're asking but I don' have a process
I'm a normal human being
it's like eating food for me
is food good or bad
everybody knows
so project is there is good or no
I want to do it or no
simple as that
for me it is like this
there was no delibrate effort that went into
breaking any kind of
romantic boy image
what happen was that
in daily life what happens was
I read a lot so I was reading books
I watching content
and I watching the content that I was doing
and I took the challenge
that no I'll not compromise
my family begged me up
Thankfully I did good stuff
it didn't take of very well
in our country as yet but
I like I can voucher it I've done
good content
so
it just went like okay
if you keep thinking that you're doing
the right thing
than we should stick to what you doing and
that's why I'm sticking to
But how do you say no to good money
because television and specially kind of
romantically and all those characters
come with huge amount of money as well
how do you say no to that
I have strick heart
and I'm not a money minded person
I've understood from very beginning
there is no such thing as enough money
people at your strech or where in
whenever you decide
that okay fine I've to do this show on TV
people will go crazy yet again
there is always an assurity that stardom
that you've received that's sustaitable
it's not like it came and it's gone
But what is it that keeps you so grounded
Stardom is official thing
the point is that
it's
something that you imagine in your head
like the whole concept or a thing
Froude what stardom
Stars are just heavenly bodies
we're just human beings doing good work
and bad work simple as that
if you get lucky I think
maybe the timings are strong
I don't know the god concept
so I can't understand it
But time I think exsist
everything is dependent on time and efforts
I don't think anyone's any kind of star or
that's a very different way out to look at it
Now I want to know
How easy or difficult it becomes
because you've friends who're your
co-star as well in terms of Ridhi right now
Awesome
she was with you so how difficult or easy
was it to have
it was awesome
it's teriffic
she told me that
first day she didn't know
how to do a scene because it's like
you're friends you're chilling
that happens of course see the point
is that
we are friends
in that space we're so important to each other
but when you're in acting space
there is possibility of potrating the character
that you protaing is so immense
that you just can't thing about anyone else
so that dianamic has to be adjusted
to of course
but at the end it took some time
get that going
But it was awesome for me
like
she knows social media very well
so yesturday someone send me a message
from voot that we'd to post this
so we were all together
celebrating vibes birthday
I'm like Ridhi you talk with them
so it's awesome in that sense
and also I want to understand
what has been the most different
because you've done film also
I remember 22 yards when it released
it was
said that it was a best film of that year
and than
the body of work that you've done
what is that one scene or one show
or one movie that you're extremely extremely
proud of
if you've to pick one
something which is extremely close to your heart
close to my heart is not happen with me
being honest with you
ya it's gonna happen
I'm sure
But proud of
I've done a few things
in this show
I'm not saying for promotion
No I'll take your word for it
People over watching were like
so ya in this show there's lot of stuff
so we're waiting to watch the show finally
to know what exactly you've done in
I'm sure you'll like it
and lastly before I leave you
I want to know
How is fatherhood serving you
It's awesome
It's
to all those idiotic people
who always told me it's a difficult job
I just want to say that
It's a
to people who're looking forward to
being a parent
there's not a fuller feeling that you'll have
has it changed your life it any way
what there's nothing same
nothing is the same
but the point is if you're
sensible enough you'll know
nothing is going to be same honestly
child comes in
everything else gonna change
the point is to go in
expecting what
be prepared of
what's gonna happen
instead of just thinking
maybe it won't happen
everything that you've heard
that's gonna be difficult
it's gonna happen
it's just that how prepared you're
is gonna help you
your wife and your child
Thankyou so much Barun to talking to us
and all the very best for Asure
I'm sure it will be great to watch it
and we can't wait for it
Thank you
