Jimmy Shergill speaks about `Yun Hota Toh Kya Hota' and more

ALL SMILES Jimmy Shergill
In the season of laughter, Jimmy Shergill has opted for gentle smiles. In Naseeruddin Shah's just-released Yun Hota Toh Kya Hota, he plays Hemant who lives in the U.S. and marries a girl back home through an email contact. Talk to him about this and the guy merely smiles. Conscious of his good looks and measured gestures with barely a strand of hair out of place, Jimmy says, "I think my patience has paid dividends. If out of all good actors Naseer saab has chosen me for the role, I have a reason to feel proud. My role is not big. But when it is Naseer saab's film, the length of the role really doesn't matter. Moreover, it is more of a character-based film than a star-based one. The role obviously has brought me a lot of confidence."
But then he was also seen in the outrageous Tom, Dick and Harry earlier this year. Jimmy defends himself, "Reaching the masses is a must. It gave me the confidence to do comedy. I can't keep on doing Haasil or Charas to register my presence. Aur ghar bhi to chalana hai (I have to run my kitchen too)."
Shortly, he will be seen as the lead in Delhii Heights produced by Sivaji Ganesan's son Prabhu. He plays Neha Dhupia's husband in it. They work in rival companies and live in a posh Delhi apartment called Delhii Heights. "It is a full-length role and quite different. It deals with husband-wife arguments over small things relating to their professional lives. The film is an attempt to show the tough life in a metropolitan city," he says with that half-smile still in place.
