Actor Jim Sarbh, who is popular for his portrayal of Adil Khanna in the Amazon Prime Video web series Made in Heaven, has released an official statement for those tweaking his words and using them to make headlines. Jim has written this statement referring to an interview in which he spoke about an actor’s process. Later, journalists and people from the industry claimed that the actor was talking about his Padmaavat co-star, Ranveer Singh.
Jim Sarbh’s Instagram post
On Instagram, Jim Sarbh wrote, “I find this almost absurd to have to clarify, but since folks are running wild with the videos and articles: Nothing I said refers to Ranveer Singh. The video byte being shared is from made in heaven season 2 promotions, 5 whole years since Padmaavat came out. 5 years. I only had lovely things to say about Ranveer as a co-actor-look it up. I still do. Also: it is not an attack on process. I love process, and I love actors. The video is making fun of actors who exaggerate their process. I’m sure you’ve all met people who talk about their work. Can't wait for the next article or video shooting off my shoulder.”
Jim captioned the post, “I usually don’t respond to speculative videos and articles, because they’re boring and I assume people know better. Ofcourse, just like some of you, I assumed wrong. Too many people have forwarded me things, and now journalists/interviewers are ‘identifying’ me as a ‘critic’, despite me never having mentioned anyone at all, let alone @ranveersingh. @ranveersingh ‘Spiders’ by System of a Down.”
Jim’s controversial remark
Jim wrote this statement, referring to the time when he spoke about actor’s process in an interview with The Quint. As the actor did not take any actor’s name, people assumed that he was talking about his Padmaavat co-star Ranveer Singh. He said, “There are all those actors who are like ‘You know, I was so stuck in my character that I had to get mental therapy for weeks after.' I was like ‘Shut up bro. You didn't even know your lines on the day, what nonsense'."
