‘Want To Be Kind, Large-Hearted:' Barun Sobti On Future Plans As Producer
Barun Sobti shared that if he becomes a producer in future, he would aim to be 'kind and large-hearted'.
Barun Sobti, who became a household name after his stint as Arnav Singh Raizada in the 2011 hit serial Is Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Dun, has carved a niche for himself in the OTT space with powerful performances in shows like Asur and Kohrra. Now, the actor, in a recent chat with an entertainment media portal, talked about his plans of stepping into the shoes of a producer in the coming years.
In a candid chat with Pinkvilla's Behind The Success segment, Sobti was asked if producing content is his next aspiration. The actor nodded affirmatively and shared that he would 'want to be a kind and large-hearted' producer.
Stressing that he would not make artists work for long hours, the 40-year-old actor said, 'I will think about life more, but I would not make my people work a lot. I think it'll be, like, 8-hour shifts." He further quipped, 'I'll be a producer when I have a lot of money."
On being asked whether he would incorporate the typical corporate timing, Barun echoed his belief in work-life balance. He said that he wouldn't mind adopting standard 9-to-5 corporate hours. 'With respect to hours—less working hours, a good life for everyone. We work a lot, and all producers want us to work 12 hours and travel 2 hours," he explained.
Addressing the difficulties and challenges faced by artists due to the gruelling schedules, the actor went on to explain how such working conditions aren't good for people struggling financially. 'I would like to make everyone's life simpler if at all some time I become a producer," he added.
Barun Sobti is all set to reprise his role in the much-anticipated second season of Kohrra. The critically acclaimed show will premiere on Netflix this year. Additionally, fans of Asur have reason to celebrate, as the actor shared a major update on the making of its upcoming season.
In the same interview, Barun revealed that the writing of the much-awaited installment is complete and the team is yet to begin the shoot. It will take a while to go on the floors.

Pamela Anderson Repeats Claim Sylvester Stallone Offered Her Condo, Porsche To Date Him
Last Updated: Appearing on Watch What Happens Live on Sunday, the Baywatch icon stood by her story, originally shared in her 2023 Netflix documentary, Pamela, a Love Story. Pamela Anderson has once again addressed her explosive claim that Sylvester Stallone once offered her a Porsche and a condo in exchange for being his 'No. 1 girl." Appearing on Watch What Happens Live on Sunday, the Baywatch icon stood by her story, originally shared in her 2023 Netflix documentary, Pamela, a Love Story. Host Andy Cohen brought up Stallone's denial of the incident, asking Anderson, 'What do you think about him denying it?" To this, the 58-year-old actress simply replied, 'Well, how could you make that up? That was pretty specific." Cohen then lightened the moment by asking if a different car might have swayed her. 'Maybe like a Shelby Cobra or something?" he joked. Anderson laughed and replied, 'No, no, no, no, no." In Pamela, a Love Story, the actress had claimed, 'I remember talking to Sylvester Stallone one time and he offered me a condo and a Porsche to be his No. 1 girl. And I was like, 'Does that mean there's a No. 2? Uh-uh.' He goes, 'That's the best offer you're gonna get, honey. You're in Hollywood now.'" She added in the film, 'I wanted to really be in love. I didn't want anything less than that." Shortly after the documentary aired, a representative for Stallone denied the story in a statement to PEOPLE, calling Anderson's remarks 'false and fabricated." 'Mr. Stallone confirms that he never made any portion of that statement," the rep asserted. Meanwhile, both stars have moved on in their personal lives. Stallone has been married to model Jennifer Flavin since 1997. Anderson, meanwhile, has sparked romance rumors with her Naked Gun co-star Liam Neeson. Cohen even teased their budding romance on the show, saying, 'All of your friends are very much stanning this relationship, as the kids say."
