I have done many Punjabi films before, I am excited for my first Bollywood film.”

On this Jassi explains, “When it comes to acting and music, they are from the same industry. I can make ‘music’ in which ever condition I am.  I don’t have to specifically remove time for it.

In fact, when I was in college, Sonakshi Sinha was my favourite actress, but I never knew that this would be my first film and that too with her. The first day when I went on the sets it was like a dream come true for me. When I met Sonakshi Sinha, I was a little anxious, when I actually got to know her, she happened to be a typical ‘Punjabi girl’ from within,” shares the Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi star Jassi Gill.
