From ‘Muskan’ to the ‘Gulabi Queen’
Jasmine Sandlas’ musical journey began with Punjabi music. Born in Jalandhar and raised in California, she developed an interest in singing and songwriting at a young age. She started writing songs when she was only 16 and grew up listening to both Punjabi folk music and Western music.
Her first song, “Muskan”, marked the beginning of her professional journey. Later, her album Gulabi, created with rapper Bohemia, helped establish her identity in the Punjabi music scene. Her unusual voice, energetic performances and confident personality soon made her stand out from the crowd.
Over time, Jasmine became popularly known as the ‘Gulabi Queen’, a title that reflected both her musical identity and her strong presence in the Punjabi entertainment industry.

Punjabi Hits That Made Her Popular
Jasmine went on to build an impressive catalogue of Punjabi songs. Tracks such as “Illegal Weapon”, “Laddu” and “Sip Sip” became some of the biggest highlights of her career.
The popularity of her music also helped her cross regional boundaries. “Illegal Weapon” and “Sip Sip” later received Bollywood versions, proving that her Punjabi sound could connect with audiences beyond the regional music industry.
Jasmine has never restricted herself to playback singing. She has explored independent music, songwriting and different musical styles throughout her career. This willingness to experiment has helped her maintain a unique identity despite the changing trends in the music industry.

Bollywood Breakthrough With ‘Yaar Na Miley’
Jasmine’s Bollywood journey received a major boost in 2014 when she sang “Yaar Na Miley” for Kick, alongside Yo Yo Honey Singh. The song became a major chartbuster and introduced her voice to a much larger Hindi-speaking audience.
The success of the song also brought her recognition at major award platforms, including a Screen Award for Best Female Playback. She continued to explore Bollywood music with several other projects over the years, including songs such as “Taras” from Munjya and “Nasha” from Raid 2.
‘Dhurandhar’ Brings a New Career High
The Dhurandhar franchise has become one of the most important milestones in Jasmine’s recent career. Her collaboration with composer Shashwat Sachdev allowed her to explore a different side of her voice.
In the first Dhurandhar, she was featured on the title track as well as “Shararat”. The songs helped bring her back into the spotlight and generated fresh conversations around her music.
The momentum continued with Dhurandhar: The Revenge, where Jasmine lent her voice to multiple tracks, including “Main Aur Tu” and “Jaiye Sajana”. Across the two films, she has been associated with five tracks, making the franchise a significant part of her current musical journey.

‘Jaiye Sajana’ Becomes a Major Milestone
Among Jasmine’s recent songs, “Jaiye Sajana” has emerged as one of the biggest highlights of her career. Sung by Jasmine Sandlas and Satinder Sartaaj, the track quickly attracted attention following the film’s music launch.
The making of the song was also unusual. Jasmine revealed that she and Shashwat Sachdev worked on it until 4 am on the day of the music launch. While some parts had already been written and recorded, the final work was completed under a tight deadline.
For Jasmine, the success of the song means much more than just another hit. After spending years building her career independently and creating music on her own terms, she is now experiencing one of the biggest responses of her musical journey.
