The makers of the popular daily soap have confirmed that Barun is indeed quitting the show, apparently to find work in films. Good luck to him!

While we are still upset that the hottie Barun Sobti is leaving Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon, the makers have found a way to lift our spirits by roping in Viraf Phiroz Patel of Mahiway and Kismat fame for the role.

There is no doubt that Viraf will set our hearts racing, ‘coz he looks ‘oh-so-hot’ and sexy. The actor was last seen in Sony TV’s Mahiway as one of the leads and then in Kismat, where he captivated the audience with his suave looks and brilliant performance. Anyone and everyone who has seen these shows will certainly agree with us. But will he be able to deliver in Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? Will he and Sanaya Irani (Khushi Kumari Gupta) be able to evoke the same chemistry that Barun brought to the small screen? Now that’s something we’ll be able to answer only after we see them together.

Arnav Singh Raizada, who is an intense and complicated character, is arrogant and showcases very little of his romantic side. And that’s exactly what made him so adorable, no? His equation with Khushi initially bordered on love-hate until he came out of his shroud of denial and decided to marry her. Since then, the romance between them has made audiences go gaga. Giving Arnav a new face is a bold decision in terms of TRPs, as many ardent followers have complained and threatened to quit watching the show.

We think that Viraf is probably the best replacement for Barun. Giving him the benefit of doubt, we believe that Viraf will indeed raise the bar of the show. And just in case it doesn’t work, they can always end Iss Pyaar…, right?

    Barun Bollywood film Main aur Mrs.Right with female Shenaz Treasurywala would be a boxoffice hit. Barun doesn’t need Khushi (Sanaya) or anyone from IPKKND. Any way IPKKND show couldn’t continue without Barun. Any show would be a hit with Barun in it. Barun laugh when IPKKND show ended because he said the show was in the top 10 because of him.

    Barun Bollywood film Main aur Mrs.Right with female Shenaz Treasurywala. Would this film be a hit or a flop?. Barun female crazy fans hate Shenaz Treasurywala. Barun doesn’t care for his fans when he quitted IPKKND because he didn’t give the real reason for quiting. Only thing left in my mind is Khushi crying at the end show of IPKKND and the rest of the team. Ok Barun doing what he wants but why didn’t Khushi get the opportunity to do what she wanted, oh yeah Barun crazy fans mess that up aswell. BARUN CRAZY CRAZY FANS MESS UP EVERYONE FAVOURITE SHOW IPKKND

    We miss Khushi character so much she is very very very beautiful, cute and very funny. We only watch it becuz of her and we miss it so much and now they put on a serial called Kaali which is boring. BRING IPKKND BACK WITH OR WITHOUT BARUN, JUST BRING BACK NOW!

    Hey Barun fans, We have bad news for you all, Barun wanted a long break but he didn’t have any interest in returning to IPKKND show. His only interest was going to Bollywood, his not coming back and there is no IPKKND 2. We were Barun fans aswell but we made a big mistake of ending the IPKKND show. We should get the show back but it will have to be without Barun, it will have to be the new guy Viraf P Patel. Best thing to do is get the show back first and if this Viraf P Patel not good enough, we get him replace. IT IS SO BORING WITH IPKKND SHOW THE CHARACTERS KHUSHI, NK AND THE OTHER MISSED THEM PLZ HELP GET SHOW BACK

    What I don’t understand, what is wrong with these fans why can’t they give Barun replacement Viraf P Patel a chance in Khushi life. Even Khushi was prepare to give it a go. Something is wrong with these fans who ended the show. Talking about weirdo, what would they do if Barun Sobti (ASR)or Sanaya Irani (Khushi)have romance with another person in future show? Those fans ended the show, that they can’t bear to see them with anyone esle. DUMMY FANS. Wanted to see this show continue

    Those selfish arrogant fools who ended IPKKND, just because Barun was quiting those fools ended the show. Give our IPKKND show back if you have any brains. Give back our show with or without Barun OK!
