    Barun Sobti Facts

  • Sobti was born into a Punjabi family.
  • He has been very close to his sister.
  • When he was a child, his family would encourage him to play outdoors rather than be at home and watch TV. He was very active as a child and used to play a lot in a huge park in his colony in Delhi.
  • He was an extremely mischievous kid in school landing in trouble all the time and his mother was called by the vice principal regularly.
  • Barun has fond memories of his birthdays in his childhood when he used to go to school in colored clothes instead of the uniform and visit the temple along with his religious mother.
  • He was working with a BPO in Delhi when his friends successfully motivated him to try acting instead, sensing he had great potential as an actor.
  • The massive popularity of his show Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? (2011-2012) garnered him a huge female fan following. According to Barun, this never bothered his wife since he and Pashmeen have been more like friends than a couple, having been classmates in childhood.

  • He is not a party person.
