In 2026, Jimmy Sheirgill will mark the end of his thirty years in the film industry. In Gulzar's 1996 film Maachis, the gifted and handsome actor made his Bollywood debut. He then starred in Jahan Tum Le Chalo in 1999. However, he became well-known when he played the lead roles in Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Amitabh Bachchan's Mohabbatein, directed by Aditya Chopra.

 

Jimmy recently talked candidly about his difficult time in Bollywood. He revealed that, prior to receiving Mohabbatein, he used to receive money from his parents to cover his bills. The actor also discussed receiving his first payment check from Maachis.

 

Jimmy Sheirgill discussed his difficult times and how he used to obtain money from his parents to cover his costs during a media chat. The actor revealed that he received Rs 20,000 for his breakthrough role in Gulzar's Maachis.

 

Jimmy further revealed that he sought the renowned poet and director Gulzar to gain a job as an AD after learning of his ambitions to create Maachis. The actor remembered that the director had questioned him if he was an actor and why he wanted to work in this field. Jimmy revealed his fragility by stating that he doesn't want to return home and that he has heard that it takes five or six years to gain a break in the industry.

 

Gulzar asked him about the character he admired and handed him the script. Jimmy revealed, “After reading the script, he asked, ‘Which role did you like? If you had to do a role, which would it be?’ I said, ‘I think I should do Jimmy. My pet name is Jimmy.’ I met him as Jasjit Shergill.”

 

He also discussed having to put up with people's taunts due of the limited part. "Wait for your time to come," he was told. Speaking of his pay and how fortunate he was to have relatives to support him, the actor told, “I think it was somewhere around Rs 20,000. I was lucky that my family was supporting me. This went on till I got Mohabbatein. Once Mohabbatein came, I slowly reduced taking money from home."
