‘Dhurandhar 2’ singer Jasmine Sandlas reveals Premanand Maharaj’s words that are tattooed in her brain: ‘I felt seen that day’ | – The Times of India
Singer Jasmine Sandlas reached a new level of popularity after lending her voice to tracks in ‘Dhurandhar’ and ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’. She opened up about her journey in the Hindi film industry, touching on both her professional milestones and personal struggles, including her battle with alcoholism, her path to recovery, and the profound impact of spiritual leader Premanand Maharaj’s guidance.She also reflected on her visit to Vrindavan and shared an experience that deeply shifted her perspective. During the conversation, she asked the host what he believed draws people to the city. He responded that it is the energy of Radharani, Lord Krishna’s eternal beloved, that attracts devotees. He further noted that places like Vrindavan and Varanasi are considered spiritual hubs of India, where the atmosphere feels intensely charged, drawing millions of visitors each year.
Jasmine then spoke about a powerful moment from her encounter with Premanand Maharaj, recalling how a simple exchange left a lasting imprint on her life. When Ranveer asked what she experienced in Vrindavan, Jasmine said, “Premanand Ji Maharaj said, ‘Say, Radha.’ And when I said, ‘Radha, Radha,’ he said, ‘Itna he kaafi hai tumhare uddhar ke lie’ [This alone is enough for your deliverance].” Looking back on that moment, she added, “Those words are tattooed in my brain, and I will hold onto them like a trophy.” She added, “I hold on to that as a torch, as a light, and I hold on to that line as protection and guidance. I felt really seen that day. Isn’t that what we want? To be seen, to be witnessed as people, whether artists or not.” “Koi to hume dekhe. Koi to hume kahe ki hum achche hain. Koi to pyaar kare [At least someone should notice us. Someone should say that we are good. Someone should love us],” she said, adding, “This is why I want to be a mother so bad.”Ending on a lighter note, she laughed and shared her hopes for the future. “I need to have a daughter for sure. It is my biggest dream to have a daughter – a little me, who looks and acts like me, but I need to have a son, too,” she added.
