Actor Jimmy Shergill, who debuted in films with Gulzar’s Maachis in 1996, became popular after appearing in Shah Rukh Khan’s Mohabbatein. He then went on to earn accolades for his performances in films like Mummnnabhai MBBS, A Wednesday, Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster among many others. However, Jimmy is considered to be one of the most underrated actors in the Hindi film industry as even after having an impressive start to his career, for the longest time, he didn’t lead a film and continued to play supporting roles.

In a recent interview, Jimmy addressed the issue and said that while many think he is an underrated actor, he, in fact, has been happy with the kind of films that have come his way, and he stayed patient in his downtime.

Talking to journalist Pooja Talwar, Jimmy said, “One has to be patient and carry on doing things the way you’ve been doing it and try. Sometimes people get vindictive and frustrated. I’ve tried not to do that. I’ve just kept it to myself and just got going, gone with the flow. Because (if you don’t), then you’re messing with your head. So it is best to go with the flow, jo jab aanaa hai aayega (right things happen at the right time).”

The actor also admitted that while he is generally happy with the kind of scripts that have come his way, he has also done some “run of the mill stuff”. He said, “When the year ends and you look behind, you realise that there have been some things that have been run of the mill stuff. (But) it’s because I love working, I can’t sit at home. But then you (also) look back and realise that there are these 2-3 things that I have done that are very interesting and I have no regrets because I did something new and I learnt a lot.”

Jimmy Shergill will next be seen in Netflix’s Choona.
