From making a mark on television with serials and reality shows to now wooing hearts in films, Jasmine Bhasin has come a long way in the Indian entertainment industry. But her journey has been equally hectic and to get away from this chaos of work life, the actress often finds solace in travelling. And recently, she decided to break away from this mundane schedule to enjoy her birthday amid the snow-capped mountains of Uttarakhand. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Jasmine discussed her love for solo trips and trekking as she described her recent trek and the extensive positive impact it had on her physical and mental health.
EXCLUSIVE: Jasmine Bhasin describes how trekking has inspired ‘a sense of adventure’ in her; says, “This experience has benefited me in so many ways, from physical fitness to mental clarity”
For the unversed, Jasmine Bhasin trekked to Hemkund Sahib and the Valley of Flowers, reaching an altitude of 15,200 feet in her recent solo trip. Sharing her experience to Bollywood Hungama, the actress said, “I would describe this trekking as a beautiful journey, which inspired a sense of adventure in me, and brought lot of positive changes in my thought process, in my attitude. I’m sure it’s going to make lot of numerous positive impacts on my future decisions and my life. I came back with such calm mind, balanced energies, and so much of clarity in my mind and heart, with loads of peace. That feeling of achievement and confidence when you get by achieving your goal and you feel like, okay, I’m strong enough to deal with anything – I’m mentally strong enough to overcome all the difficulties in life – Nothing can stop me – That’s the kind of effect that this experience has brought into me.”
Jasmine describes how this activity helped her build up her stamina
We wondered about the impact trekking had on her at a physical level, to which the actress stated, “It has really helped me on my physical level. Because the more we push ourselves physically, the more we realize how much capable we are and how much we underestimate our bodies, our strengths, our stamina. Every time we push ourselves, we realize we can do more, and this has been that. When I spoke to my trainer, I was like, ‘I didn’t know my heart condition was so good. I didn’t know my legs were so strong that I could just climb it, always singing, dancing and enjoying it’. So, I definitely wanted to make it a part of my yearly activities. And I would love to go on hikes around Maharashtra as well. So that it’s a kind of physical activity, physical fitness, or saatsa fun video, (which will help) you get a break from your chaotic life.”
Further elaborating on the same, she added, “This experience has benefited me in so many ways, first physical fitness, second, mental clarity, that feeling of self-confidence, independence, evoking that feeling of adventure, meeting different people from different walks of life, their experiences, learning so much from them, getting inspired by them, and a different level of confidence of ‘yes, I can do it’. Because over time, we start self-doubting ourselves because of ups and downs, some failures here and there. And I believe such trips make you believe in yourself again – That person who is kind of falling asleep, it wakes them up.”
Jasmine also inspired many females to go on such solo trips
Sharing some key tips for women who aspire to do solo trips, the actress shared, “My advice to all the girls who want to venture out on solo trips is, please plan but plan it carefully and feel confident. Do not think that solo trips are just for partying or dressing up. A solo trip is a time where you give yourself a break from the chaos of life, break from people around you who are always influencing your decisions, your personality, from people on who you are dependent. Because we came alone, we are supposed to go alone from this life. So that feeling of independence, that feeling of confidence should come where you feel ‘I can deal with everything’. All the situations, your capability of managing difficult situations, if you’re in a problem, it all gets better. So, my advice to all the girls is, do plan solo trips and make them a learning experience, instead of just partying and having a good time. Partying is also important, but strike that balance where you do not put yourself in trouble and you come back as a more confident, stronger person.”
