Jim Sarbh and Ranveer Singh shared the screen space in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's period drama Padmaavat.
In 2023, Jim Sarbh slammed an unknown actor for claimed that they needed mental therapy after being stuck in their character. People had assumed that he was talking about his Padmaavat co-star Ranveer Singh, who had mentioned multiple times that he isolated himself from the world by locking himself in his room for 21 days to prep for his character of Alauddin Khilji.
Now, on Saturday, June 29, Jim took to his Instagram and penned a note clarifying that his comment was never targeted at Ranveer and he was just making fun of actors who exaggerate their acting process. His note read, "I find this almost absurd to have to clarify, but since folks are running wild with the videos and the 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 the 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 more than do their work. Can't wait for the next article or video shooting off my shoulder."
"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 Ranveer Singh", the Neerja actor captioned his post.
While promoting the second season of Made In Heaven last year, Jim had told Quint, "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."
