In 2012 a Mumbai-based auction house, Pundoles, was given Jehangir Bhabha바카라s estate to auction off. Out of several items owned by Jehangir Bhabha, there were many items in the catalogue that also belonged to his brother and the father of Indian nuclear programme, Homi J. Bhabha, including an antique study table. A 24-year-old got his hands on the catalogue of various items from the estate, which were to be auctioned off, and his eyes fell onto the table. He went up to his father, and asked him to bid for the table, only because he liked the way it looked and as luck would have it, they got the table.
10 years later, the now 34-year-old is Jim Sarbh who is playing the role of Jehangir Bhabha바카라s brother and nuclear physicist, Homi J Bhabha, in the upcoming web series 바카라Rocket Boys바카라. 바카라I think some magnetic connections are just securely made right,바카라 Sarbh laughs as he tells us he has been working on the desk, which is in his Mumbai apartment currently, for 바카라over eight years바카라 now.
"It's a bizzare co-incideince isn바카라t it? Actually, my uncle runs the art auction house, and 10 years ago, when he was given Jehangir Bhabha바카라s massive estate to auction off, I got a chance to look at the catalogue. I just looked at the table, without even knowing whose it was, and said oh this is really nice art-décor desk, and we must have it. I just said it off-handedly. But then, as a sweet and lovable gesture, my father got it for me, because I really didn바카라t have any money back then,바카라 says Sarbh.
Before playing the role, Sarbh admits he didn바카라t know much about Homi J Bhabha, and jokes that he was initially confused if he was being offered a role in filmmaker Homi Adajania바카라s biopic instead. 바카라They just said, will you be in a biopic on Homi. So, I was like 바카라nice, the guy isn바카라t dead yet, but it바카라s great that we are making it바카라. That바카라s when they corrected me and they said it바카라s Homi J Bhabha!바카라 he jokes.
There are many things that drew him to the role, including the fact that they are parsis. 바카라I mean Freddie Mercury was already done, so only Homi J Bhabha was left for me to play!바카라 he wise cracks.
The desk, now holds a much more significant meaning, than it probably did before. 바카라Of course, it is just brilliant to see how connections are made. People think Homi J Bhabha was a brilliant scientist, and rightly so, of course he was. But he was also a man who appreciated arts and promoted it as well. He was a fantastic painter, played the violin brilliantly. He was a well-rounded, complete man who had a wicket sense of humour, but at the same time he was a charming and a spontaneous man,바카라 Sarbh signs off.
