Eastern Eye caught up with them to find out more.

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.

“Why can’t I just run?”: A south Asian woman’s harrowing harassment story

I was five years old when my parents first signed me up for a mini marathon. They were both keen runners and wanted me to follow in their footsteps. At the time, I hated it. Running felt like punishment — exhausting, uncomfortable, and something I never imagined I’d do by choice.

But one moment changed everything. I was 12, attending a gymnastics competition, and had gone to the car alone to grab my hula hoop. As I walked back, a group of men started shouting at me. They moved closer. I didn’t wait to hear what they had to say — I ran. Fast. My heart was pounding. It was the first time I felt afraid simply for existing in public as a young girl. I never told anyone. But I remember feeling thankful, strangely, that my parents had taught me how to run.
