We asked the man of the moment to list things he wishes were real. He’d like teleportation, open discourse and more. Want fries with that? He probably does

Of course, we can imagine a world without Jim Sarbh. We just don’t want to. The actor, a week short of 36, sprung on to the scene seemingly from nowhere in 2016, all cheekbones, poker face, piercing eyes and tight curls. He played the terrorist Khalil, in Neerja, a film about the attempted 1986 hijacking of Pan Am Flight 73 in Karachi, which was thwarted by its brave head purser, Neerja Bhanot.

Actor Jim Sarbh plays a rich, spoilt, cheating, Delhi brat in Zoya Akhtar’s Made in Heaven Season 2. You may not root for Adil Khanna on the show, but his frustrations will seem familiar: mild traumas are glossed over by society, wedding budgets nearly eclipse the institution of marriage.
