Actor Barun Sobti has long remained a heartthrob for fans who have followed him since his iconic television show 'Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?'. Over the years, he has stayed relevant through impactful work, especially on OTT platforms. However, his latest appearance has left many fans worried.
Barun recently appeared on Farah Khan's popular cooking vlog on her YouTube channel, accompanied by his wife, Pashmeen Manchanda. Fans were thrilled to see the couple, with many admitting they clicked on the video as soon as they spotted him in the thumbnail. The comments section quickly filled with nostalgic messages, expressing joy at seeing their longtime favorite in a relaxed and candid setting at his home.
One enthusiastic viewer wrote, "Never clicked on a video so quickly! Thank you Farah Ma'am for bringing our childhood crush on your channel!" However, alongside the admiration, some viewers began discussing Barun's behavior during the vlog. A section of the audience felt that the actor seemed different from his usual self and speculated about his energy levels and manner of speaking.
One comment read, "Whatever may be wrong with him, we loved the vlog." Another viewer asked, "Is he high on weed?" while a third remarked, "For the first time on Farah Khan's show, the guest energy felt completely off." A separate user wrote, "Something is wrong with him. He is speaking weirdly." These comments sparked wider conversations online, with some people questioning whether Barun's behavior seemed unusual, while others argued that he simply appeared relaxed and comfortable in an informal environment.
Barun's wife, Pashmeen Manchanda, also drew attention. Some viewers felt she was subtly managing the situation throughout the episode. One user commented, "Felt really bad for the wife, still unbelievable how they carried out the vlog." Another wrote, "I like his wife how she is trying to cover up the situation."
Many fans came to Barun's defense. A user said, "For the people saying he seems weird, he might be exhausted or sleep deprived or probably a bit hungover (nothing to judge here btw) but I just LOOOVE his wife!! The way she's handling everything, also super gorgeous (can't even tell she has 2 kids). I mean we all had a crush on Barun Sobti and probably thought whoever he marries would be lucky, but I must say he seems to be the lucky one here."
Despite the speculation, many fans appreciated the vlog for offering a rare glimpse into his personal life. For several viewers, his appearance brought back memories of the immense popularity he enjoyed during his television days.
After earning widespread recognition with shows such as 'Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?', Barun expanded his career into films and OTT. He made his film debut with 'Main Aur Mr. Riight' and later featured in 'Tu Hai Mera Sunday' and '22 Yards'. The actor also found considerable success in the OTT space, taking on diverse roles that helped him break away from his romantic television image. His streaming credits include 'Tanhaiyan', 'The Great Indian Dysfunctional Family', 'Asur', 'The Missing Stone', 'Halahal', 'Badtameez Dil', 'Kohrra', and 'Raat Jawaan Hai'.
