Television actress Jasmin Bhasin, who has worked on Dil Se Dil Tak and Naagin 4, has shared a truly disturbing incident from the early part of her acting career. In an interview on The Himanshu Mehta Show, the actor shared an experience involving a director’s offensive behaviour that left her traumatised and influenced the manner in which she pursued auditions afterwards.
Jasmin Bhasin On Harrowing Audition Incident
Jasmin Bhasin recounted that the incident happened when she had just moved to Mumbai and was actively on the lookout for employment. She was instructed to visit a meeting at a Juhu hotel, where several hopeful actors and coordinators were there. Initially, it all seemed normal with job candidates visiting one at a time. When it was her turn, she walked into the room and immediately felt out of place after observing the director sipping casually. To her shock, the coordinator who had accompanied her soon left.
The director gave her a scene to do off the top, where she was playing a woman attempting to hold her lover back from going away. Preferring to prepare, she asked to come back the following day. He demanded that she do it right away. When she did the scene, he informed her it was not correct and suggested doing something else. That was when, Bhasin says, he closed the door, and his purpose was revealed. Realising that the situation was not safe, she quickly moved to escape.
That day, Bhasin said she made a personal decree never she would never go to auditions and meetings in hotel rooms again. The experience, while traumatic, only deepened her determination to establish clear boundaries in the profession.
