Actor Jim Sarbh says he accidentally hit Sonam Kapoor in the mouth with a gun during the first day of the 2016 film “Neerja” shoot. He recalls that he panicked as the incident happened, but he adds that Kapoor handled it with composure. Sarbh says, “I will never forget that intensity and panic,” and describes Kapoor as “such a sport” about the moment.

In interviews, Sarbh also discusses how he adjusts to working on a film set, including the hierarchy and routine that differ from theatre. He links these early experiences to the broader arc of his career, noting his transition and growth across films and streaming platforms (OTT). Across the coverage, the focus stays on his recollection of the day-1 incident while providing additional context about adapting to on-set filmmaking.
