Jasmine Bhasin’s career spans across television and extends to the South Indian and Punjabi film industries, showcasing her versatility and talent. In this candid interaction, the actress delved into her professional journey, personal life, dreams, career, love life, and industry friendships, sharing her heart with us.
During the interview with a leading daily, Jasmine Bhasin discussed the challenges she faced on her path to becoming a successful actress, including being replaced due to references and dealing with attitude problems on set.
When asked if she ever had to give up a project due to ill-treatment, Jasmine’s response was inspiring. She confidently stated, “Mein maidan chhodne walo mein se nahi hu, mein samne walo ko chhuda du. (I am not someone who backs down from the battlefield; I make the opponent retreat instead.)”
She elaborated, explaining why she chose this approach. “Because I do not let these negative emotions—fear, anger, greed, insecurity, ego—take over me.”
Continuing, Jasmine said, “Jab mujhe lagta hain ye situation shuru ho gayi hain, mein bohot… Mujhe ek cheez lagti hain ki pyaar se har jung jeeti jaa sakti hain, pyaar se settle ho jao, tareekein se, samne walo ko samjho, baat karo, communicate karo, har cheez ka solution nikal jaata hain. Toh us chik chik ko aur chik chik nahi banati hu mein, par agar koi zyada hi karein toh theek hain phir… (When I feel that this situation has started, I strongly believe that every battle can be won with love. Settle things with love, understand the other person, talk, and communicate; every problem can be solved. So, I do not let that bickering turn into more bickering, but if someone goes too far, then it’s okay, we’ll deal with it.)”
We also asked the “Dil Se Dil Tak” actress about her experiences of being replaced in projects due to references. Jasmine acknowledged that such incidents are common in the industry and that she has come to terms with them.
“Log bolte hain na kismaat mein daane daane pe likha hain khaane wale ke naam. Jiski jo kismat hain, wo mil jayega. Aur meine ek cheez humesha notice kiye hain, bhale mujhe cheezein late milein but everything that happens with me, works in my favor, eventually. Aur mujhe wo baad mein pata chalta hain, ki thank god wo nahi huya because something better was meant for me. Mein usi perspective se leti hu aur mein zyada nahi sochti because these are all negative emotions that pull you down,” added the Bigg Boss 14 contestant.
“(Whatever is destined for someone, they will get it. And I have always noticed one thing, even if I receive things late, everything that happens to me eventually works in my favor. Later on, I realize that, and thank God it didn’t happen because something better was meant for me. I look at it from that perspective, and I don’t think too much because these are all negative emotions that pull you down.)”
