Jim Sarbh’s had one hell of a year. Not least because of a glorious nomination for Best Actor at the 51st International Emmy Awards for his mighty portrayal of Dr. Homi J. Bhabha in Rocket Boys. Or his lofty performances in the critically acclaimed Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway and cult show Made in Heaven 2. But because the actor now sits comfortably on top of the mainstream—shedding the moniker of being an alternative hero, while still having an edge for being a multi-hyphenate performer, swinging confidently from theatre to cinema. He’s also producing a new YouTube show called Crew Cut, that puts crew members under the spotlight instead of actors.
Yet, Sarbh defies the stereotype of being mainstream in the context of today's Bollywood actor. There’s nothing chocolate boy about his face or demeanour. He’s eccentrically charming and intimidatingly intelligent, outclassing you in conversations about worldly art, books and movies. His articulate responses in a posh accent are well thought-out like he’s dipped into the lengthy archives of his idiosyncratic brain. So, we figured that it’s only fair to delve further into Sarbh’s psyche to understand what makes up this inimitable man by putting him through The Proust Questionnaire. A template of set questions that has its origins in a parlour game popularised by Marcel Proust, the French essayist and novelist, who believed that, in answering these questions, an individual reveals his or her true nature. This, of course, besides getting the lowdown on what really went down on the night of the Emmys.
