‘Was miserable’: Jim Parsons reveals the hidden toll of starring in The Big Bang Theory | Television News

Published by Parlour News

4 min readMumbaiJul 19, 2026 01:16 PM IST Jim Parsons is best known for playing the beloved geeky physicist Sheldon Cooper on Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady’s popular sitcom The Big Bang Theory. Hailed as the longest running multi-camera sitcom ever, The Big Bang Theory consisted of 279 episodes, spread across 12 seasons and 12 years. It’s no surprise then that in hindsight, Parsons admits he was “miserable” and “stressed” throughout the filming. “I felt that there was so many plates I was supposed to be keeping in the air and that the success and the good things of life that were happening were only due to this overworking… discipline and whatever. Maybe to a degree that was true. I don’t know. I can’t say because that’s how I was,” Parsons confessed on the All Out with Jon Dean podcast. “I look back now and realize that there were many ways, at some of the best moments of my life, I was miserable. I was not happy. I was stressed,” the 53-year-old actor. He event …

Raveena Tandon compares Welcome 3 to Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler films: ‘You expect logic?’ | Bollywood News

Published by Parlour News

3 min readNew DelhiJun 30, 2026 07:26 PM IST Actor Raveena Tandon is currently basking in the success of her latest film, Welcome To The Jungle. In a recent interview, Raveena, who plays the villager Zoya in the action-comedy, opened up about the experience of shooting with an ensemble cast of 34 actors. She also reacted to the criticism directed at the film and urged audiences not to look for logic or realism in such comedies. During a conversation with NDTV, Raveena said Welcome to the Jungle is a satire and should be watched with that mindset. “If they’re looking for realism, justifications and logic in a comedy film, then they haven’t seen many Hollywood comedies either. If you look at the greats – Jim Carrey’s films, Adam Sandler’s films – unless they have an emotional track, it’s different. Look at Leslie Nielsen’s films, Steve Martin’s films, or Dumb and Dumber, which was a super hit – do you expect logic from it? It’s like expecting logic from a Mr. Bean episode. So I don’t …
