Why
Barun
Has
Been
Away
From
TV?
When
asked
what
made
him
stay
away
from
television,
which
had
made
him
household
name,
he
said,
"TV
is
a
powerful
medium,
as
it
reaches
out
to
so
many
people.
The
only
problem
that
I
have
is
with
the
format
and
programming.
It's
impossible
to
do
something
round
the
clock
for
years
and
still
be
creative
about
it."
‘I
Would
Love
To
See
The
Programming
Change
In
TV’
"I've
always
maintained
that
everything
can
be
done
well,
but
writing
is
bound
to
get
compromised
with
the
kind
of
pressure
that
exists
on
TV.
The
ratings
force
the
writers
to
go
into
the
same
zone
over
and
over
again,
and
you
can't
write
something
extraordinary
every
day.
It's
untrue
to
creativity.
I
would
love
to
see
the
programming
change
in
television."
‘It
Would
Be
Great
If
We
Start
Making
More
Finite
Shows’
When
asked
what
kind
of
changes
he
wants
to
see
on
television,
he
said,
"It
would
be
great
if
we
start
making
more
finite
shows.
That
way,
everyone
would
know
what
they
are
getting
into.
Anything
that
has
a
definite
end
is
invariably
precise
and
a
more
promising
product,
as
compared
to
a
show
that
has
an
abrupt
ending.
It's
interesting
for
both
-
the
audience
as
well
as
artistes."
‘TV
Actors
Are
Always
Insecure
&
Fear
Getting
Replaced’
In
an
interview,
Barun
had
said
TV
gets
demanding
because
it
is
exhaustive.
Regarding
this
comment,
the
actor
told
the
leading
daily,
"TV
actors
are
always
insecure
and
they
fear
getting
replaced.
Since
there's
a
huge
influx
of
actors,
nobody
voices
their
concerns
or
opinions.
So,
you
keep
working
for
long
hours,
which
is
absolutely
against
the
labour
laws.
It's
a
bitter-sweet
thing."
The
Actor
Adds…
"When
you
become
popular
as
the
lead
of
a
show,
you
are
expected
to
shoot
for
12
hours
every
single
day!
You
don't
have
a
choice.
There
are
some
artistes
who
throw
tantrums,
and
say
that
they
won't
shoot
for
more
than
three
hours,
but
I'm
not
that
kind
of
a
person.
So,
I
have
to
kill
my
conscience."
‘Lekin
Apni
Industry
Mein
Sab
Chalta
Hai’
"As
humans,
we
need
to
respect
everyone's
time.
Lekin
apni
industry
mein
sab
chalta
hai.
Yahan
aap
poora
din
kaam
karte
raho,
koi
farak
nahin
padta
hai
kisi
ko.
Once
people
start
making
money
from
a
show,
then
it's
not
about
creativity
anymore."
What
Made
Him
Take
Up
Iss
Pyaar
Ko
Kya
Naam
Doon
3
So
what
made
him
take
up
Iss
Pyaar
Ko
Kya
Naam
Doon
3?
Barun
says,
"I
did
it
because
it
was
always
meant
to
be
a
finite
show.
It
was
supposed
to
run
for
six
months,
but
it
ended
in
four
because
the
ratings
weren't
good.
It
sounded
good
on
the
story
level."
Barun
Is
Ready
To
Do
Finite
Shows!
The
actor
adds,
"Even
today,
if
I'm
offered
a
finite
show,
I
will
take
it
up,
because
I
would
love
to
be
one
of
the
first
actors
to
initiate
a
change
in
the
format
and
programming
on
the
small
screen."
