In a conversation on The Himanshu Mehta Show, Jasmin Bhasin recalled one of the most shocking incidents of her life. She said, "I had come to Bombay for auditions and all in a hotel in Juhu, there was this meeting, a lot of girls, actresses were there waiting in the lobby, there were many coordinators, so everybody was going, doing a meeting."

She added, "And then I went for the meeting, first of all, I got scared seeing a man having a drink and telling me audition, and even the coordinator also left the room. So first, I got scared. After that, he told me, ‘You have to do this scene.’ So I told him, ‘I will prepare and come back tomorrow.’ He said, "No, no, you have to do it now." So I did it."
