In one of the latest conversations during Pinkvilla's Behind The Success segment, Barun Sobti light-heartedly shared what he would be like as a producer, if he becomes one in the future. "I will think about life more but I would not make my people work a lot. I think it'll be like 8-hour shifts," mentioned the 40-year-old actor.

When asked whether he would incorporate the typical corporate timing (9 to 5), the Kohrra actor firmly agreed, saying that he “won't mind”. Advocating for work-life balance, he told us, "With respect to hours, less working hours, a good life for everyone. We work a lot, and all producers want us to work 12 hours and travel 2 hours."

Furthermore, elaborating on the difficulties that artists go through and experience in the industry, the Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon star said how such working conditions aren't good for people who don't make a lot of money. The Asur fame concluded by saying, "I would like to make everyone's life simpler it at all sometime I become a producer."
