Jasmin Bhasin is set for new innings; eyes her Bollywood debut

After appearing in a reality show last year, Jasmin Bhasin has refrained from picking up any acting projects, barring her appearances in several music videos. The actor admits that the yearlong break was important for her to find her calling as an artiste. All set to make her entry into Bollywood, Bhasin says, “My focus right now is to get back to acting. I was always used to doing projects back to back. This is the first time that I have taken such a long break. And the reason was that I wanted to get back to doing something different. Now, I am ready. I have already finished a Punjabi film titled Honeymoon (with singer-actor Gippy Grewal).”

She goes on, “I am doing more meetings and enjoying it all.”

Not everyone may know that this isn’t the first time that Bhasin has been seen on the 70mm. In fact, she started her career with the Tamil film Vaanam in 2011, and went on to do other language films such as Beware of Dogs (Malayalam, 2014), Veta (Telugu, 2014) and Ladies &

Gentlemen (Telugu, 2015).

Her line-up also includes a movie penned by filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, for which she will start shooting in July. “In the last few years, I got so busy with television that I stopped navigating my way to Bollywood, but now I’m doing it again, and I’m getting a great response. Entering the industry (Bollywood), I had no preconceived notions about it,” shares the actor.

The 31-year-old shares that she wants to “do projects” where she gets to perform “a lot as an actor.” She explains, “Right now, we are living in this amazing era where all you need is a good script and good acting skills, and you will definitely be appreciated for the hard work and effort.”

“I don’t want to play the same boring roles over and over, so I will choose challenging roles, something that challenges my own personality too,” she concludes.
