“Barun Should Think Before Talking,” Karanvir Bohra Lashes Out At Barun Sobti

Barun Sobti’s proclamation that television actors are  given a raw deal in cinema, has not  gone down well with fellow-actor Karanvir Bohra  from  television, who says he owes his entire career  to television.

“I can’t say filmmakers have  been unfair to me.And neither  should Barun , whom I like  a lot as  an actor, say this.He should think twice before making such a  statement. He  should not generalize in such a sweeping manner. Bollywood has given a chance to many television  actors  including Barun  and me. Hasn’t he done some  good feature films  like Tu Hai Mera Sunday and 22 Yards?Mouni Roy is another television actor who has done well in films.I’ve done  films too.I’ve never felt sidelined by the movie industry,” says Karanvir, last seen on  the large screen in the  film Humein Tumse  Pyar Kitna.

Karanvir wants Barun to be  more specific. “Who are these people from  the film industry who have  sidelined  Barun? He  should  come  out with names, and not malign the  whole  film industry? Barun should know that  these are dangerous times, naming shaming is  the name of the  game. Me? I love  the  Bollywood  industry. It’s amazing!  It has given a livelihood to  thousands and hope to millions.”

Karanvir feels actors like Barun Sobti are unhappy with the  film industry  for being denied access to the inner circle of Bollywood. “Arrey  who wants to be in the inner circle?Make your own inner circle.Be a Shah Rukh Khan  or a Sushant Singh Rajput. Be a superstar from television to cinema.”
