While their interfaith relationship has been a point of discussion for trolls, the actress has opened up about why she believes that moving in is the best decision for them. In an interview with CurlyTales, Jasmin Bhasin shared, 'We don't want to end up saying, 'Let's get married and live together,' only to start hating each other.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jasmin Bhasin Fanpage🧿 (@jasminbhasinn79) She further continued and said, 'Everyone around us says that couples break up because living together is very different from dating, so we decided to give it a try and see if we can maintain peace, harmony, and a healthy relationship." Jasmin and Aly often get subjected to trolls because of their interfaith relationship. Recently, in an interview with Screen, Jasmin lashed out at trolls for making negative comments: 'The relationship is between the two of us, we have an understanding, we have had these conversations. We have reached a common ground, we have accepted each other the way we are. We are sorted between us, so nobody's opinions matter. Still, if people give negative opinions that can affect our relationship, then shame on them. The world needs love and positivity. If two people are happy, others can keep their stupid opinions to themselves, and if they are so clever, they should focus on sorting their own lives. This is our life, and we will figure it out," she said. On the work front, Jasmin Bhasin, who was most recently seen in Karan Johar -hosted The Traitors, has worked in several successful television shows like Dil Se Dil Tak, Dil Toh Happy Hai Ji, and Naagin 4, among others.
