I met Jimmy Sir in 2009 on the shoot of a Punjabi movie. He was so humble and polite. Even after so many years he looks exactly the same with so much of humbleness and politeness in him...He is an great actor and we want him to see more in Punjabi cinema and in Bollywood also ..He is an Gem to the indian film industry 💎

[KunalKrizviz]

who doesnt like jimmy shergill? evryone loves him...the no nonsense no controversy actor....and kills it in every role

[oyeeeashu]

Finally a celebrity, with whom I can relate with my personality. Focused, but very slow and calm demeanor so at the end of the day, society label such people as boring.

When I was a kid mohobatte had released i suppose I was in 7th grade .. then I wanted myself to be like Jimmy a good guy with a sweet girl .. good old days.. machis was there but it's just a song i could remember.. but Jimmy was my would character.. love you bhai

[deepshikhabhadauriya]

Jimmy is always a delight to see on screen, special when he comes as special appearances.

[sanjaysalvi]

I remember his role as Jimmy in 'Machis'..and thereafter he acted in few movies with chocolate boy image. But again his roles in Tanu weds Manu was the best i know.

[gauravsolanky]

those who have not, please listen to Jahan Tum Le Chalo songs, they are wonderfully composed by Vishal Bharadwaj and Sung by Suresh Wadkar!

My favorite work og The Jimmy Shergil is Your Honour

[veer]

Ranneeti, tanu weds manu, SBG, mukkabaaz, Dana pani, happy bhag jayegi, special 26 and the list goes on. He rarely got the center stage but if someone wants to understand all his flavours, watch mukkebaaz, ranneeti and mere yaar ki shaadi hai

[MrAnonmyous]

Jimmy bhai very good actor . Excellent versatile ❤

[swadhinnayak]

My choice of movie got changed after seeing the movie Haasil, from that day Irfan Sir became my favorite actor & Jimmy paaji also got included in that list.
