TV star Barun Sobti is hectic shooting for a web
series Tanhaiyan. Sobti rose to recognition with his super hit TV
show Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon, and since then there has been no
looking back for the actor. In a frank talk with a web portal, Barun expected
that producers on the small screen attempt to generate better and different
content. He also spoke about his show Satya Ki Kiran, which abruptly
got scrapped.
Barun shot for a TV show previously this year, but it never
took off. On being asked what happened, the actor replied, "I don’t think
I’ll ever know what went wrong. But I feel whatever happens, happens
for the best. We had shot just three episodes when the channel pulled the plug.
Had we shot a major chunk, it would have been tough for the producers. They are
an awesome production house and I hope I get a chance to work with them in the
future."
As Barun had moved to films, was it a challenging decision
for him to return to TV? "Not really. I had other commitments, so I
couldn’t take up a daily soap as it is a long-term thing. I am game for finite
series on TV. I think there is a larger responsibility towards actors to make
television what it should be in India. I would love to take on the challenge.
Had it been for me, I would focus on good content. But that would be from my
perspective, it can be rubbish content for someone else (laughs). I hope better
and serious TV content is created in the years to come. There are some makers
who have tried working on shows with different content, but one has to hold
their nerves while doing so. What happens mostly is that people ‘attempt’
different subjects; but the start of the new venture is financially
heavy, so when it doesn’t give desired results, they change to what usually
works," told the actor before signing off.
