Jimmy Shergill was born as Jasijet in as Sikh family on December 3rd 1970 in Gorakhpur, India. As a kid, Jimmy had an amazing childhood as his family lived on a farmhouse. In 1985, after the Indira Gandhi assassination, his family was forced to move to Punjab as riots against the Sikh community. Jimmy led a mediocre life in Punjab; his brother encouraged him to venture into acting, so Jimmy came to Mumbai and joined Roshan Taneja’s acting and dancing classes. In 1996, Jimmy was given his first break by Gulzar in ‘Maachis’, which got him some recognition. Jimmy has high regards for Gulzar Sahaab, who has mentored his career. His next was Yashraj banner ‘Mohaabtien’ in which he impressed many with his performance.

Jimmy continued his association with the banner by signing ‘Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai’, which did manage to get some good reviews for Jimmy. ‘Dil Hai Tumhara’ was his third hit, but still the actor did not get the star status. The critics commented the actor lacked the star aura and would not be able to carry a solo hero film on his own shoulders.

Jimmy continued with delivering good movies, and he left the critics stunned when he pulled off ‘Haasil’, a solo hero movie, but the actor still didn’t get the deserved recognition. Jimmy got married the same year to Priyanka, who is not part of the film industry.

Jimmy started accepting character roles in movies and he signed ‘Munnabhai MBBS’. Jimmy had high hopes with ‘Yahaan’ and the actor did deliver a fabulous performance, but it went unnoticed. Fate was not very kind to Jimmy as despite delivering great performances, he has not got his dues. The actor continues to pursue his zest for acting as he believes that he came to Bollywood with nothing and has has earned respect and fame and is confident that the future has a lot more for his talents.
