Super fan of the week - Barun Sobti

Talented star Barun Sobti has admirers around the world, which includes two friends who formed a fan club in his honour. Jeba from Tamil Nadu and Salma from Libya give all the updates on the actor with their Barun Tamil Fan Club on Twitter.

Eastern Eye caught up with the super fans to find out more.


What first connected you to Barun? 

His acting skills made us believe that he is not just acting, but giving his 100 per cent to his characters.

What made you become super fans? 

It’s the fact that he is a great person. He is a huge star, but he never carries the burden of stardom on his shoulders. He does not throw his weight around. He also treats fans with so much love and respect. Lastly, he is a self-made actor.

What do you most love about him?

His love for his family and wife, especially the way he talks about his wife with passion whenever he is asked about her and when we see them together.

Tell us about something super you have done for Barun?

We don’t know if creating this fan club on Twitter is a super thing or not, but what we are sure of is that this is the most precious thing we have done as fans. We share and spread our love for our idol by telling his news, showing his photos and videos along with creating edits and trends related to Barun.

What is your favourite work Barun has done? 

Each and every work of Barun is our favourite. Starting from his debut (serial) Shraddha to (his film) 22 Yards - all are favourite for us. Barun gives his 100 per cent to each of his roles and we adore all his on-screen characters.

What has been your most memorable moment? 

When we received his autograph with our names. That was an unforgettable moment in our lives and when we knew that he knows about our fan club.

Which quality in Barun do you most relate to? 

There are so many. First is his simplicity. You will not feel like you are around an actor when you are with Barun.

Why do you love being a super fan?

There is no super fan in our fandom. Each one of us is important in our fandom. But being a fan is a beautiful feeling. It makes us feel connected and updated about our idol as we learn everything about him all the time. That feeling gives us positive vibes.
