When your favourite TV heartthrob vanishes from the small screen, all you want to do is catch a glimpse of him. Well, that's exactly what happened when we spotted Barun Sobti enjoying a meal with his wife and friends.

The actor, who became a star overnight with Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon, likes to keep a low profile and generally stays away from the prying eyes of the media. But he couldn't escape from our lenses...

Last night, after a hard day at work,  we indulged in a bit of retail therapy at Inorbit Mall (Malad). And as we walked into the food court  to grab a bite, we saw the handsome actor sitting in one of the restaurants. He was accompanied by his wife Pashmeen, who was sitting beside him looking lovely in a black dress. The couple was seen chatting with actor Akshay Dogra and his wife Sakshi, who were also sitting at the same table.

The foursome seemed to be having fun, oblivious to the people around them.

Respecting the actors' personal time, we didn't barge in on them with our cameras, but we sure did click pictures on our mobile phones!

Wouldn't it have been perfect if Sanaya Irani and Mohit Sehgal had also joined the couples?

On that note, we leave you to enjoy these pictures, but we hope to manage better ones next time.

Also, what do you think were the friends chatting about? Let us know in the comments section below!
