Jim Sarbh Breaks Silence On His Viral "Mental Therapy" Comment: "Nothing I Said Refers To Ranveer Singh"

"I only had lovely things to say about Ranveer as a co-actor," Jim wrote in his post

Jim Sarbh recently clarified that his previous statements about actors and their "exaggerated" processes were not directed at his Padmaavat co-star, Ranveer Singh. This clarification came after actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui called out those who criticise an actor without knowing his/her process. Another actor, Prashant Narayanan, also mocked Ranveer Singh's statement about sinking into a dark headspace while portraying the role of Alauddin Khilji in Padmaavat.

For the unversed, in an old video that went viral on the Internet (once again), Jim Sarbh can be heard saying, "There are those actors who say, 'I was so immersed in my character that I needed therapy for weeks afterward.' I was like, 'Shut up bro. You didn't even know your lines on the day, what nonsense.'"

The statement came after Ranveer Singh shared that he isolated himself in his Goregaon home to prepare for his role as Allaudin Khilji in Padmaavat. As soon as the video went viral again, social media users interpreted that Jim's comments were aimed at Ranveer.
