Jasmin Walia: I would love to act alongside Sidharth Malhotra

DURING British Indian singer Jasmin Walia's recent trip to India, Eastern Eye spoke to her about her new single Manana, her Bollywood track Bom Diggy Diggy, her future plans and a lot more.


Jasmin is very pretty and features in her music videos. So, we asked her if she would like to act in movies especially in Bollywood, to which she said, “I would love to. Obviously, every girl who is an Indian would love that and I would love too. Let’s see what the future holds, but I would definitely never say no.”

When asked her which actor she would like to work with and which actors she wants to playback for, Jasmin stated, “I would love to act alongside Sidharth Malhotra. Is that okay to say? (laughs). And of course everyone’s favourite Shah Rukh Khan. He singing to one of my songs, even if Zack (Knight) is doing playback for him and the girl would be Aishwarya Rai. Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai, it would be great.”

“I would definitely love to try some acting. I love to take challenges. So, let’s see, fingers crossed,” Jasmin added.

This wasn’t Jasmin’s first visit to India, earlier also she has been to the country. When we asked her what she loves about India and what she hates, the singer said, “I love the hustle and bustle of India. When I go back I realise how slow everyone is. So, I just love that as you don’t know what to expect and I think that is a nice surprise. It always keeps you going and keeps you very excited. So, that’s what I love. And I hate the traffic.”
