Dhurandhar singer Jasmine Sandlas opens up about her struggle with alcohol: 'I drank more than I should have…'

Singer Jasmine Sandlas is currently enjoying widespread appreciation for her contributions to the soundtrack of Dhurandhar The Revenge. She lent her voice to several tracks on the music album, which was composed by Shashwat Sachdev and has gone on to become a major success with listeners.

The singer recently appeared on Ranveer Allahbadia's podcast, where she spoke at length about her professional journey, personal life, and overall experience in the music industry so far. During the conversation, she also spoke openly and honestly about the challenges she faced with alcoholism.

Jasmine on her struggles with Alcohol

Jasmine, even though she became a famous singer early on, revealed that her difficult childhood, where she had to figure many things out on her own, left her with lingering issues. She said, I struggled a lot. I think growing up, I have gone through certain phases in my life, figuring out things for myself in a journey. That was not comfortable. Life happens. It is a lot for the parents, but also for the children. We need guidance and nourishment… Why are parents so tough on their children? When life really hits you, you do look for support. I do regret some things I did in those 2-3 years when I was drinking. A lot of things piled up - I was famous on one side, I was feeling certain things, my family dynamics broke apart, my father was no more, and I was successful. I drank more than I should have, and I regret it, but it was important for me at that time.

She continued, I had some heartbreaks in childhood from my parents. They broke my heart unknowingly many times, so there is resentment. I love them, but when a child's heart breaks, it remains broken. When you don't have a safe space to run to, you look for a home in everything like crazy. I did that all my life, just yearning and finding home.

Jasmine’s personal & professional front

Jasmine, originally from Jalandhar and raised in California, launched her singing career in 2008 with "Muskan." Her collaboration with Bohemia on the album "Gulabi" marked a significant step, but it was her 2014 hit "Yaar Na Miley," co-written and sung with Yo Yo Honey Singh for the film "Kick," that brought her widespread recognition.

More recently, Jasmine lent her voice to several songs in the successful films "Dhurandhar" and "Dhurandhar The Revenge." These films, starring Ranveer Singh and directed by Aditya Dhar, were major box-office hits, further solidifying Jasmine's presence in the music industry with tracks like Shararat, Main Aur Tu, Jaiye Sajna, and Aari Aari.
