Want to be part of relevant stories: Jimmy Shergill

Actor Jimmy Shergill believes his unconventional film choices have worked in his favour as the audiences now associate him with good roles.

The actor believes it has also led to a lot of interesting work coming his way.

"When I was doing solo hero and two-hero films, they were doing well commercially but deep inside I felt that I should do something different. I grabbed opportunities like 'Yahaan', 'Tanu Weds Manu', 'Munnabhai MBBS'.

It was time for me to do some relevant characters and films, the idea was people should identify with that. Somewhere these films were setting the base for the right kind of offers to come. With every film, I want to add versatile stories to my profile," Jimmy told PTI in an interview here.

The actor said he is grateful for all the love and recognition he has received in his over two decades of career so far.

"The best thing is to think from where I have come and where I have reached today and what you have got. I am happy, I am alive and things are ok. If you think like this, you start feeling better."
