Jasmine Sandlas on alcoholism

During a conversation on Ranveer Allahbadia's podcast, Jasmine opened up about her childhood struggles, due to which she resorted to alcoholism and had a tough time dealing with it. She said, "I struggled a lot. I think growing up, I have gone through certain phases in my life, figuring out things for myself in a journey. That was not comfortable. Life happens. It is a lot for the parents, but also for the children. We need guidance and nourishment… Why are parents so tough on their children?"

She added, "When life really hits you, you do look for support. I do regret some things I did in those 2-3 years when I was drinking. A lot of things piled up - I was famous on one side, I was feeling certain things, my family dynamics broke apart, my father was no more, and I was successful. I drank more than I should have, and I regret it, but it was important for me at that time."

She continued, "I had some heartbreaks in childhood from my parents. They broke my heart unknowingly many times, so there is resentment. I love them, but when a child's heart breaks, it remains broken."

Jasmine Sandlas further spoke about her recovery and credited her mother for standing by her. The singer said, "My mom and my family really helped me in that [recovery]; they loved me through my rock bottoms. My biggest fight was with myself."
