JASMIN BHASIN

I love talking to people; the more I talk, the more gossip I can cull.

I think yoga gives me awareness not just about my body from the outside but also about my internal organs. I feel it's very important because it teaches you self-realization of your body.

From childhood, I grew up with a lot of apprehensions about my body and appearance. I was skinny, had acne on my face and suffered from an inferiority complex; I thought I was the ugly duckling in my school and college.

As actors we are often seen well-dressed and well-behaved in the public eye but we are humans at the end of the day. Like anyone else we also get angry, upset, frustrated, get mood swings. We are loving, caring too.

As far as controversies are concerned, as an actor for the first time when there was something written about me I was affected. But then I decided that this is part of my profession.

I always wanted to be an actor and my parents were happy with my decision. But that happened later. They were apprehensive initially because I have an MBA degree and I used to work for American Express' marketing team.

I believe that there is a simple demand and supply rule that works on television. While many are hooked on web series, some enjoy non-fiction. Similarly, there are people who love watching supernatural genre.

I remember when I was shooting for my debut show Tashan-e-Ishq,' the first season of Naagin' had just started airing and I used to be so fascinated by the characters. It feels good to be a part of such a prominent franchise on TV.

Over the years, I have realized that you have to feel good about your flaws or else the world will make you feel worse.

A pet can be a girl's best friend.

Jaipur plays an important role in my journey of becoming an actress. It all began in this city. One day, someone spotted me in the city and asked me to come for a photoshoot.

I took up Naagin 4' because it's been a number one show. So, I guess it was a big opportunity for me to be part of it and that's why I took it.

I must have worked with over 100 actors, but I think there are four to five names I count on my fingers and say they are my friends.

As an actor, my job is to go to the set, read my scene and perform to the best of my abilities.

When I was a model, I met someone. I don't want to name the person. But things did not go well. I was new and could not understand what was happening. But I have learnt my lesson. I will not date any actor for sure.

Reality shows help us create a balance between our real and reel side.

My all-time favorite is Shaktimaan,' and a supernatural show that I really like has to be Naagin.'

People have always complimented me for being cheerful and happy.

Social distancing won't end with the COVID-19 crisis but will stay with us and will become part of life.

My fear is that if I date or marry an actor, we would end up talking about the same issues and we will deal with the same insecurities and apprehensions.

'Bigg Boss' is one reality show which is a completely different format and pulls you out of your comfort zone.

I will never stoop low to do certain things on camera.

Jaipur is my mother's hometown. So, every summer vacation, we would come to Jaipur and spend the entire holiday at my nani's house.

I think rather than being unhappy with somebody, being alone and happy is better.

After seeing some of my emotional scenes, I end up thinking I could've done it better.
