Jasmin Bhasin often gets compliments for her first name. Revealing the story behind her beautiful name, the Tashan-e-Ishq actor shares that it was her father who named her Jasmin. “My father loves Jasmin flowers. There was a Jasmin plant on our balcony as well when I was born. So it was decided that my name would have to start with the alphabet ‘J’, my father named me Jasmin,” says the Bigg Boss 14 contestant.
While growing up, Jasmin had other dreams and it was only when she started modelling that her interest in acting started developing. “I realised my passion for acting when I got my first modelling assignment in Chennai. It was an ad for a jewellery brand and I enjoyed doing the shoot, facing the camera,” adds the actor, who made her acting debut with the Tamil film Vaanam in 2011 and also did a number of Hindi TV shows such as Dil Se Dil Tak, Dil Toh Happy Hai Ji and Naagin 4.
