Jasmine Bhasin's childhood prayer for beauty revealed
22 Oct
Summary
- Jasmine Bhasin battled childhood insecurities about her looks.
- She prayed for beauty after being called 'dark' and skinny.
- Bhasin believes in manifesting wishes through strong feelings.
Actress Jasmine Bhasin has opened up about her long-standing insecurities regarding her physical appearance, recalling childhood taunts that referred to her as 'kali' (dark).
She shared that these comments, coupled with having acne and being skinny, deeply affected her self-esteem during her formative years. Bhasin recounted a significant childhood visit to the Bijasan Mata Temple in Rajasthan with her father.
During that visit, she offered a heartfelt prayer to God, asking to be blessed with such beauty that people would aspire to meet her one day. This experience is central to her understanding of manifestation.
Bhasin now believes that the strength of one's feelings and the purity of their desires are key to manifestation. She feels that her own prayers, especially those made with innocent sincerity, have been answered by divine intervention, emphasizing that the location of prayer is less important than the internal state.
Her spirituality extends to a profound respect for all religious faiths and holy sites. Bhasin visits temples, gurdwaras, and mosques, finding peace and connection with the divine, whom she cannot confine to a single name or form.
This interfaith respect was underscored when, after recovering from severe corneal damage two years ago, she undertook a solo trek to the Sikh shrine of Gurdwara Hemkund Sahib.
