Jasmine Sandlas, the acclaimed singer known for her powerful songs in the films Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar: The Revenge, recently shared candid insights into her personal battle with alcoholism and emotional pain. While her music has gained widespread appreciation, Jasmine revealed that her journey has been marked by deep struggles that influenced both her life and art.
In a heartfelt conversation with podcast host Ranveer Allahbadia, Jasmine disclosed that she began drinking alcohol at the age of 23 during a difficult phase in her life. Despite initially abstaining from alcohol, she turned to drinking as a way to cope with overwhelming emotions and challenges. She admitted, “I drank more than I should have, and I regret it, but it was important for me at that time.” Her struggle spanned two to three years when she was navigating fame, family loss, and internal conflicts.
Jasmine traced much of her emotional turmoil back to childhood experiences. She spoke about heartbreaks caused by her parents, explaining that these early wounds left lasting scars. “When a child’s heart breaks, it remains broken,” she said. The singer described a lifelong search for a safe place or ‘home,’ often feeling alone despite being surrounded by people. This sense of loneliness fueled her need for comfort and understanding.
The singer also highlighted the complexity of family dynamics that contributed to her struggles. After losing her father and dealing with broken family relationships, Jasmine found herself caught between success and personal pain. She reflected on the importance of guidance and support during difficult times, emphasizing that children need nourishment not just physically but emotionally as well.
Recovery was not easy for Jasmine, who credited her mother and close family members for helping her through the darkest moments. She recalled how breaking free from old habits required tremendous inner strength and prayer. “My biggest fight was with myself,” she shared. With their love and encouragement, she gradually overcame the addiction and embraced a new chapter in life.
Professionally, Jasmine Sandlas continues to shine as a prominent voice in the music industry. She contributed memorable tracks such as ‘Jaiye Sajna,’ ‘Aari Aari,’ and ‘Main Aur Tu’ to the Dhurandhar films’ soundtracks. Her story of vulnerability paired with resilience offers inspiration to many who face similar battles behind the scenes.
Through her openness about alcoholism and emotional hardship, Jasmine brings attention to the personal struggles often hidden behind fame and success. Her journey underscores how music can serve as both an outlet for pain and a source of healing.
