When you’re popular you’re often misjudged… people don’t understand the thin line between arrogance and somebody being too busy to respond, says Jasmin Bhasin

It seems Jasmin Bhasin is enjoying a successful run with music videos. Her ventures including Pani Di Gal touched 100 million in just a month, Tera Suit is a big hit and the latest offering, Tu Bhi Sataya Jayega is getting much love. The actor is on cloud nine and feels grateful - Jyothi Venkatesh

“I’m overwhelmed with the response that we have got for all the music videos. I was not expecting such a response honestly but yes obviously I wanted these videos to become big hits as I never done music videos earlier.

Both Aly and I used to get a lot of offers but we were never sure. I always thought that I will do music videos only when I’ll be sure about it.

So when this came my way, I wanted them to do well. The success of these songs have done well to my career too because now I am getting a lot more queries for movies and web projects,” she says hoping the popularity of the songs would open doors for her creatively.

The actor recently crossed the 3 million hashtags on Instagram, yet another achievement to rejoice.

“As far as me being popular on social media is concerned all I can say is I’m thankful to my fans for their support in doing such things for me.

I just wish them good health and hope that they keep supporting me like this. Yes I have crossed the hashtag milestone, from this season (Bigg Boss 14) I am the most followed contestant.

So, I’m very happy and grateful to my fans because it’s totally their hard-work, love and dedication that they shower upon me through social media. I owe this to them completely,” she adds.

The actor agrees that Big Boss has taken her popularity a notch higher. But she does not let access change her as a person.

“When you’re popular you’re often misjudged. There is a thin line between arrogance and somebody being too occupied with things going on professionally and personally.

Sometimes unfortunately people fail to understand this. Because you are popular, because you are a celebrity you are judged by people and it is considered as arrogance.

It’s a fact that actors' popularity, success is because of the love they receive from their audience and they never want to lose that.

I’m thankful too but I don’t let fame hit my head. I’m still the same girl looking for better work, who’s always ready to experiment with characters and also give auditions or look tests no matter how many times I am asked to. I’m always happy to work.

I had also heard it’s a fact that success also doesn’t come to you easily, there is a lot of hard work, sacrifice and dedication involved in the journey,” Jasmin defines what success means to her.

She also considers herself lucky to have been working even during this dreadful pandemic.

“I’ve been working before and even now during the pandemic, and I can’t be more thankful.

God has been kind in keeping my work cycle busy and I wish it stays like this,” she concludes.
