When questioned about the advice he would offer to young actors, Jim Sarbh reflected on his own experiences, stating: “Don’t get angry. I was young, I was pretty hot-headed. I got angry. I couldn’t understand how people could be like this. I just couldn’t understand it. I came from some amount of working in the States, and then from a we’re-all-equal theatre space… I just couldn’t… I just could not believe it. It made me very angry. Angry and upset and hurt and disappointed… I just lie more. No one gives a s***t. No one cares about your truth.”

Furthermore, Neerja actor recounted an incident and said, “If I had to go back, I’d tell myself to handle things differently. Instead of expressing anger, just lie. Scream into a pillow if needed, then come out and say, ‘I love that you can't afford a car to take us home, even though you’re not paying us at all, and the main actor arrived in a fancy car… I love that! I’m going to take the train!’ Lie often. Share your pain with close friends because no one else cares.”
