Actor Jim Sarbh recently shared a reflective moment through a photograph from his meeting with the Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama.
Jim took to Instagram to post pictures from this significant encounter. In one image, he is seen leaning forward respectfully and holding the Dalai Lama’s hand, while monks and attendants observe, adding a sense of calm reverence and humility to the moment.
For his caption, Jim opted for simplicity, using a red-heart emoji and mentioning, “‘Lay My Love’ by Brian Eno, John Cale.”
Jim made his feature film debut as the antagonist in the 2016 biopic Neerja, starring Sonam Kapoor. He gained prominence for his roles in the period drama Padmaavat and the biopic Sanju. His filmography also includes notable projects like A Death in the Gunj, Gangubai Kathiawadi, and Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway.
In 2022, he portrayed Dr. Homi Bhabha in the acclaimed series Rocket Boys, for which he received several accolades, including a Best Actor nomination at the 51st International Emmy Awards. Additionally, he made his directorial debut in 2014 with Bull.
Most recently, Jim starred in Inspector Zende, directed and written by Chinmay Mandleka. The comedy thriller features Manoj Bajpayee as Inspector Madhukar Zende and Jim Sarbh as Carl Bhojraj, a character inspired by the infamous serial killer Charles Sobhraj. The story revolves around Inspector Zende, a clever police officer who had captured the notorious serial killer 15 years prior. In the current timeline set in 1980, Zende learns of Carl’s escape from Tihar Jail and assembles his team to recapture him.
Last month, Jim was enjoying a holiday in Goa with filmmaker-actress Tillotama Shome. She shared her excitement about the trip, stating, “What an incredible Goa experience! We didn’t do the beach and yet it was super fun!!! (sic).”
Tillotama expressed gratitude for their accommodation, saying, “An exclusive experience in every way, indeed! @birdsongmoira has our hearts with their home away from home model. @cyclingzens: we cycled in the quiet and kayaked through mangroves. What a morning! Definitely coming back to you….”
The two even ventured on a boat journey to a fishing village, exploring the exquisite local flavors of the area.
