Barun Sobti reflects on life, learning and his ‘no mistakes’ philosophy

Popular actor Barun Sobti says he does not believe in the idea of mistakes, adding that life is more about recognising whether a choice was right or wrong and learning from it.Talking about how he deals with mistakes, Barun was asked whether he tends to dwell on them or has learned to accept them and move on. Barun told IANS, “I don’t believe in mistakes. What I would say is that even if you really want to mention a mistake, then you need to say that either you did the right thing or the wrong thing. So there is something wrong. He shared, “Realising that you’ve done that is the inception of you going on the right path. So you have to, you know… a guy can’t be so hard on himself. You’ve got to learn how to deal with that,” added Barun, who is reprising his role as assistant sub-inspector of police Amarpal Jasjit Garundi in Kohrra Season 2.In the context of his upcoming Netflix series, which not only uncovers a murder mystery but also touches on themes of broken relationships and moral fatigue, Barun spoke about what he learned regarding human fragility.He further shared, “Individually, I always wanted to develop into a human being who was a part of the medium as a whole. And I think I’ve just stepped further into that with this. I was also thinking about how bad I am when it comes to writing, and how good Sudeep is, you know, with the whole uncovering process—how you read something but execute something else. Of course, because it’s only in your mind. So I was trying to learn on the side.”
