BARUN SOBTI WAS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT THE TAUT POLICE PROCEDURAL KOHRRA. TANISHA BHATTACHARYA TALKS TO THE RETICENT ACTOR ABOUT SAVOURING SWEET SUCCESS AND MORE
LEGENDS OF THE fog

Barun Sobti is an actor and a gentleman. He can gauge from my expressions that I am not too happy doing a video interview with him and would preferably have met him in person. "Don't worry, there's always the next time," he says, cheering me up. He then proceeds to add that even he has had a rough day. A meeting got cancelled, a script-reading didn't go as planned and he didn't land a role he was hoping he'd get. We're the same but different. He nonchalantly shrugs off the bad vibes and is his sunny self again, ready to combat my queries. This is our second conversation and we have a lot to catch up on. Last year Kohrra shook viewers with its exceptional storytelling and performances, with Barun Sobti being the winner for the Best Supporting Actor, Series (Male): Drama at the Filmfare OTT Awards 2023. Untouched by the success, he cackles as he gets candid about life in general and acting in particular, as we talk...

Tell us about your first Filmfare win.

Kohrra is very special. Everybody was really happy when it got all those awards. I don’t know how to express myself; I’m kind of an outsider. So I’ve seen people being very happy when things go right for me, and I do the same for them. There are few people whose personalities you can relate to, to align your thoughts. I, too, feel happy when these people do well. I think that’s what is returned to me as well, in gratitude.

Did you expect Kohrra to become as big as it did?
