What made you set up the fan club?

Our unconditional, infinite love for our idol Barun Sobti made us start the fan club. We wanted to make a huge Sobtian fan base and create a strong platform sharing all his news and updates. We wanted to keep him in front and shining.

Tell us about your fan club?

We have Facebook and Twitter fan pages. From the day we started until today, without missing a single day, we have updated all the news, links and kept the pages live daily with photos, edits and videos. We have organised eight online events on our

Facebook page so far including his birthday celebration every year.

What has been your memorable moment?

It’s a journey with many memorable moments. Some of them include the day we        started our Facebook page, the moment we got 100,000 likes on it, one admin getting the chance to see him live and another of us getting the chance to talk to him.

What is the best thing about Barun Sobti?

He is a bundle of talent with good looks and noble qualities. His humbleness is the best thing about him.

What is your favourite work Barun has done?

From his first TV series Shraddha to the web series Tanhaiyan, we love all his work             on TV, movies, adverts, charity work.

Tell us an interesting fact about Barun?

He has been the same person from his first day until today, his down-to-earth nature and blissful smile are truly admirable.

What is your definition of a true fan?

A true fan is a person who heartily supports the career and decisions of the one they   admire, stands by them throughout and truly respects their choices and personal life.

ISKCON reclaims historic London birthplace for £1.6 million after 56 years

Highlights

  • ISKCON London acquires 7 Bury Place, its first UK temple site opened in 1969, for £1.6 million at auction.
  • Five-storey building near British Museum co-signed by Beatle George Harrison who helped fund original lease.
  • Site to be transformed into pilgrimage centre commemorating ISKCON's pioneering work in the UK.
ISKCON London has successfully reacquired 7 Bury Place, the original site of its first UK temple, at auction for £1.6 m marking what leaders call a "full-circle moment" for the Krishna consciousness movement in Britain.

The 221 square metre freehold five-storey building near the British Museum, currently let to a dental practice, offices and a therapist, was purchased using ISKCON funds and supporter donations. The organisation had been searching for properties during its expansion when the historically significant site became available.

The building holds deep spiritual importance as ISKCON's UK birthplace. In 1968, founder A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada sent three American couples to establish a base in England. The six devotees initially struggled in London's cold, using a Covent Garden warehouse as a temporary temple.
