MUMBAI: Television heart-throb Barun Sobti rose to fame with the cult show Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon opposite Sanaya Irani. The actor then shifted on to do films and was last seen in the web show Asur which was popularly and critically acclaimed. His film Tu Hai Mera Sunday was also critically acclaimed however it failed to bring a lot of numbers at the box office. In a chat with Pinkvilla, when asked Barun if it disappointed him at all when the movie did not work well for him, the actor confessed that he was a tad bit disappointed but at the same time, he knew that the struggle was going to go on.
“I don’t know what the process for big films are but for films like these the struggle continues till the movie’s release date, how many screens the movie will get. I really thought a film like this would do well but we did not get enough screens. I think for a day or two, I might have felt like 'What the hell.' But at the same time, it is not an easy route. The struggle to do good work will go on. You move on, and try to find out the next project you will put your heart and soul in,” Barun shared during the interview with Pinkvilla.
He further mentioned how actors who have worked on Television must not be written off because of their background. “I feel extremely proud to be able to write off that attitude with my work. It is not personal but I genuinely feel that people on television are seasoned actors and it is just that the understanding of TV actors gets bogged down because they keep doing the same thing. I have worked with many phenomenal TV actors,” he concluded.
