Television heartthrob Barun Sobti is making waves in the OTT arena with gripping performances in shows like Asur 2 and Kohrra. Now, he will be displaying his acting prowess in the upcoming web series Raat Jawaan Hai, where he takes on a light-hearted role, exploring the intersection of adulthood and parenting.

His character navigates the complexities of friendship, career and parenthood, mirroring his own life as a proud father of two.

When Filmfare asked how he balances work and family, he candidly answered, “I don’t actually because I think you can’t.”

He elaborated, “I am not striving for a balance. What I do strive for is when I am at home, I try to spend good, quality time with my kids and when I’m at work, I spend a good time working. That’s the only thing you can control. You can’t really set everything up, right?”

When asked if he took inspiration from his own parenting experiences for his role, he replied, “No, you can’t do that. Otherwise, you will be the same in every show. The only place I took inspiration from was the script and the way it was written. You can throw in your few titbits every now and then because you are also a parent, but you can’t come in thinking, I know everything. The learning has to come from what’s the written word.”

Besides Sobti, Raat Jawaan Hai will also see Anjali Anand and Priya Bapat in lead roles. It will be released on 11th October on Sony Liv.

Actress Triptii Dimri faced a lot of trolling after she reportedly skipped an event in Jaipur by the Women Entrepreneurs of FICCI FLO. She allegedly charged Rs 5.5 lakhs for the event but failed to attend it. Following this, the organizers expressed their anger and threatened to boycott the actress. Some women even blackened a poster of the Animal actress. Now, amid this outrage, her spokesperson has shared an official statement. It reads, “During the ongoing promotional campaign for her film Vicky Vaidya Ka Woh Wala Video, Triptii Dimri fully honored her professional obligations, attending all scheduled events and sessions related to the film.”

The statement continued, “Notably, she did not participate or commit to participate in any personal appearances or events beyond her promotional duties. It is important to clarify that no additional fees or payments were accepted for her involvement in these activities.”
