“I try to be inspired by little things in life,” says Jim Sarbh

Jim Sarbh kick-started his career in Hindi cinema with Fox Star Studios’ Neerja (2016). The biographical film featured Sonam Kapoor in the title role. Neerja went on to become an instant box-office hit, with Jim garnering loads of praises for his negative character in the film.

After Neerja, the actor proved his acting abilities in such films as A Death in the Gunj (2017), Raabta (2017) and Padmaavat (2018). Aside from films, Jim also impressed audiences with his impactful roles in high-profile web-shows like Made in Heaven (2019) and House Arrest (2019).


Jim Sarbh says that he wants to do all sorts of films and roles as an actor. "I want to do everything – lead roles, comedy, thrillers and much more. Good comedy is the hardest amongst all according to me. Comedy really needs everybody to be on the same page including directors, actors, editors. It is all in the timing,” the actor told a newswire.

Looking back at his journey, he said, "I don't think there is anything particular that shapes me as an actor; everything has contributed towards being an actor. I try to be inspired by little things in life. The quality of your attention and understanding of a moment defines you as an actor."

Jim has also been part of an international film titled The Wedding Guest. Also featuring Dev Patel and Radhika Apte in important roles, the film premiered in India on &PrivéHD. The actor says that working on an international project helped him grow in many ways.

"I think it has moulded me in every shape and it has sculpted me in becoming who I am today. I hope to have more such projects to grow," he said in conclusion.

TroyBoi returns to his Indian roots with Rootz EP using Lata Mangeshkar’s voice to redefine British diaspora music

Highlights:

  • TroyBoi’s five-track EP Rootz is a personal return to the sounds of his childhood, released via Ultra Records in September 2025.
  • The single Kabhi uses an officially cleared sample of Lata Mangeshkar’s vocal from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.
  • Collaborations with Amrit Maan, Jazzy B and BombayMami plug Punjabi, Bhangra and south-Asian textures directly into modern trap and bass production.
  • This EP is part of a wider wave: British artists born into diasporas are using heritage not as garnish but as foundation.

Some albums hit you in ways you don’t see coming. Rootz is one of them. Not just another trap EP. TroyBoi, the London-born producer known for global bass and trap, has made something that’s also deeply personal. He didn’t just want to make music that bangs in clubs; instead, he wanted to reach back to the India of his childhood. And he did it with Rootz.

The track everyone’s talking about is Kabhi. Because it’s not just sampling Bollywood. Lata Mangeshkar’s voice was officially cleared for use on a non-Bollywood release, a milestone reported by multiple outlets. It’s history. It’s memory. And it’s a bridge.
