Jassie misses his family in Canada

- Sonil Dedhia

My family is in Canada. I am missing my daughter and my wife,” says singer-actor Jassie Gill. “Thanks to technology, I can see and talk to them every day, but I would like them to be with me. I came to India to finish some work just before the lockdown, so I would like to go back to them whenever flights resume,” he adds.

Gill is keeping himself busy with work during this period. “I am not really bingewatch­ing anything as I never had the habit of doing that. I did catch on a few films that I had missed out on. During the initial days, I got a bit frustrated but now, I am utilising this time and making the most of it. I have kept myself busy with work by composing songs,”he says.

The Panga actor released two singles during the lockdown, and believes that music helps to uplift one’s mood. “I like making music. I am a restless person and before the lockdown happened, I used to go to my studio late at night after finishing my shoots, and start composing music. I have a bank of around 25-30 songs. Music is really therapeuti­c. It is something that people listen to at any occasion. So, during the lockdown, I decided to release a few songs, Two of them have already come out and have received a good response. I will be releasing one more soon,” he says.

Gill, started his acting career with Punjabi films in 2014, and made his Hind debut with Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi (2018). But his breakthrou­gh role was that of a supportive husband in Panga which released earlier this year. He says that he is happy with the way his career has shaped up so far. “The response to Panga has just given a boost to my career. It has widened my horizion. I’m not in a hurry to sign any new film. My family and my meals do not depend on my acting career as I’m predominan­tly a singer. I have another Hindi film which we will start once everything is back to normal,” he concludes.
