College is usually where love stories begin, filled with friendships, crushes, canteen banter, and late-night confessions. However, Tu Juliet Jatt Di completely flips this narrative, where a marriage happens first, followed by college, and then love. This new-age campus romance follows two opposites whose lives are set to collide in the most unexpected way. The story introduces Nawab (Syed Raza), a wealthy, carefree Jatt who lives life on his own terms — bold, spontaneous, and allergic to commitment. Heer (Jasmeet Kaur) is his complete contrast — ambitious, disciplined, practical, and determined to build a better future for her mother. Jasmeet Kaur, who plays Heer, opened up about how much fun it was to bring that campus energy to life on screen, from leaving the college chaos to capturing the youthful spirit of friendship, love, and self-discovery that defines Tu Juliet Jatt Di helmed by Ravi Dubey and Sargun Mehta.
Jasmeet Kaur gets candid about the college backdrop of the show, "Tu Juliet Jatt Di is not your regular campus romance because yahaan pehle shaadi hoti hai, phir college, aur phir dil milte hai! The energy of Chandigarh University, the banter, the ego clashes, and the sparks between two opposite worlds - it all just feels electric. Heer and Nawab couldn’t be more different: she’s focused, ambitious, and driven by purpose, while he’s carefree, impulsive, and believes rules are meant to be broken. But the real twist is that before all the college chaos even begins, destiny already ties them together in a majboori ki shaadi! So when they cross paths again on campus, it’s not just rivalry; it’s ego, emotion, and that undeniable pull that refuses to fade. What I admire the most is that the show doesn’t romanticise love as some perfect fairytale; it’s raw, real, and super unpredictable. I think today’s generation will connect with that because love doesn’t have to be flawless to feel powerful, and that’s exactly what our story celebrates."
Jasmeet reveals what made her agree to the show and character Heer, "What really drew me to Heer was how real, grounded, and relatable she is. Heer is like me in so many ways, simple, quiet, and rooted in her values. I’m a Sikh, and she’s Punjabi, so I instantly felt that cultural connection, the warmth, the spirit, the way we love, fight, and dream. But beyond that, I think so many girls in India are mentally where Heer is; they’re not privileged, they carry the weight of their family’s sustenance. I feel genuinely proud to play a college girl whose superpower is her education. Playing Heer also makes me feel a sense of responsibility because she represents so many young women who want better for their family, no matter the odds."
