A chilling Khalil in Neerja, a compelling Malik Kafur in Padmaavat, a slimy Zubin Mistry in Sanju… Jim Sarbh’s acting choices have grabbed attention in just a couple of years, and so has his style quotient. Scroll through this Instagram account and chances are you’ll go ‘wow’! On the sidelines of walking for Selected Homme at a fashion show that celebrated a decade of Bestseller in India at Grand Hyatt Mumbai on August 8, Jim took some style posers from t2, on email.        

Your style is quirky... and there’s so much confidence! Have you always been this rebellious with your style? 

I almost never take it very seriously. I wear what I like to wear, I don’t really know or care about trends. However, I really like things — materials. Like all of us who would be at a fashion show, I am a materialist — I appreciate and enjoy pretty, attractive and striking or subtle, subdued things that speak for themselves. People would call this fashion but that’s not how I view it. I look at it as something I like, and I let the look do the talking.
