Barun Sobti reveals his love story with wife Pashmeen to Farah Khan
Mumbai, June 20
Actor Barun Sobti recently opened up about his love story with wife Pashmeen Manchanda during an appearance on Farah Khan's cooking vlog.
The 'Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon' actor shared heartfelt details about their journey from friendship to marriage. When Farah Khan asked where they first met, Pashmeen revealed that they were school buddies. "We're school buddies. We've known each other since."
Farah also asked Pashmeen whether Barun was already an actor or if it came as a surprise when he proposed marriage. To this, the star wife said, "He had just gotten his marriage. We've also had a long distance relationship. So, I was away. I was in Australia. I'd gone there to study. And I was working and everything. And he had gotten his first show then. So he was in Bombay. I was actually working in a call center in Delhi." He was here. And he had gotten his first show. Then he got Baat Hamari Pakki Hai, which was a show on Sony. It did really well. And it got quite popular. And he got quite... Till then, you were in Melbourne. I was still there. And I literally came a month before we were getting married. But I had come in between. And that's when he said, let me meet your parents."
Speaking about their kids, Pashmeen mentioned, "We have two kids; we have a daughter. She's almost 7. We have a son who's 3."
For the unversed, Barun Sobti tied the knot with his high school sweetheart, Pashmeen, on December 12, 2010, in an intimate ceremony held at a gurudwara. The couple's love story began during their school days. Pashmeen, who initially studied in an all-girls school, later joined a co-educational school in class 9, where she met Barun.
On the work front, Barun Sobti made his television debut in 2009 with "Shraddha." He also appeared in the medical drama "Dill Mill Gayye." Later, he was featured in "Baat Hamari Pakki Hai" as Shravan Jaiswal, a spoiled young man, a role that gained him popularity. However, it was "Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon," in which he portrayed Arnav Singh Raizada, that turned him into a household name.

Nice to see Barun Sobti getting some positive coverage. He's been under the radar for a while after his TV days. But honestly, I wish the article focused more on his career comeback rather than just personal life. Man has serious acting chops—remember him in *Asur*? That was next level. These love stories are sweet, but where's the talk about his upcoming projects? 🤔
School buddies to life partners... that's the dream! 🇮🇳❤️ Barun Sobti's simplicity shines through. No flashy Bollywood romance, just two people who grew together. Pashmeen working in a call center while he chased acting—that's real struggle. Respect for both of them. Also, kudos to Farah Khan for bringing out such authentic stories on her vlog. More of this, please!
I'm not familiar with Barun Sobti's work, but this is a charming story. Long-distance relationships are tough—I did one myself for two years—so I really admire how they made it work across continents. Pashmeen sounds like a strong woman, building her own career in Australia while supporting his dreams in Mumbai. That's partnership goals. Also, the gurudwara wedding in 2010 sounds so intimate and beautiful.
*Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon* was my entire teenage years! 😭💕 Barun as Arnav Singh Raizada was iconic. Reading that he married his school sweetheart just adds another layer to why his romance scenes felt so real. Pashmeen is lucky, but honestly, they both chose each other before fame and distance. That's the pedestal right there. Wishing them and their two kids all the happiness!
