She then confirmed the news by telling the audience, “He’s the one who has put a ring on this finger,” making her engagement public for the first time.

The audience cheered loudly as the couple celebrated together. Videos from the event quickly spread across social media, making the engagement one of the biggest highlights of the evening.

Jasmine Sandlas’ Journey to Success

Jasmine Sandlas, whose full name is Jasmine Kaur Sandlas, was born on September 4, 1985, in Jalandhar, Punjab. Some reports also mention Ropar as her birthplace. She belongs to a Punjabi Sikh Labana family.

Her mother encouraged her love for music from an early age and often motivated her to perform in school competitions inspired by Punjabi folk music.

When Jasmine was around 12 or 13 years old, her family moved to Stockton, California, in the United States.

Life was difficult after the move.

Her father, who had graduated at the top of his law school class and held a respected job in India, started working at a gas station. Her mother, who had been a teacher, worked in factories and picked cherries to support the family.

The family of six lived in a one-bedroom apartment and depended on food assistance while trying to build a new life.

These experiences deeply influenced Jasmine’s music and personality.

She started writing poems and songs at a young age and became more serious about songwriting during her teenage years. To promote her music, she sold homemade CDs outside clubs and performed for small audiences. In one of her early performances in Delhi, only about 15 people attended.

Despite the challenges, she continued pursuing her dream.

Her Rise in the Music Industry

Jasmine’s first major breakthrough came in 2008 with the song Muskan from her underground album The Diamond.

She gained wider recognition in 2012 after releasing the album Gulabi with rapper Bohemia.

Her popularity grew even further in 2014 when she co-wrote and sang Yaar Na Miley with Yo Yo Honey Singh for Salman Khan’s film Kick. The song became a huge hit and established her in Bollywood.

Over the years, Jasmine has delivered several successful songs, including:

• Illegal Weapon
• Taras
• Laavan
• Panjeba
• Sip Sip

She has also contributed songs to Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar franchise, including Shararat, Jaiye Sajna, and the title track.

Personal Challenges Along the Way

Jasmine has openly spoken about the difficulties she faced throughout her life.

She lost her father around the time her career started taking off, a loss that deeply affected her. She has also spoken about difficult family experiences and a period when she struggled with alcohol while coping with success and grief.

Over time, she says spirituality, personal strength, and the support of her fans helped her move forward.

Earlier in 2026, Jasmine also received praise for stopping one of her concerts in Delhi to address the alleged harassment of women in the audience, showing her commitment to audience safety.

Dream Girl India Tour Begins in Delhi

The Dream Girl India Tour, organised by Team Innovation, marks one of the biggest milestones in Jasmine Sandlas’ career.

The tour began in New Delhi on July 11, 2026, and includes performances in:

• Mumbai – July 18

• Chandigarh – August 29

At the Delhi concert, Jasmine performed many of her biggest hits, including:

• Laavan
• Panjeba
• Sip Sip
• Taras
• Illegal Weapon
• Yaar Na Miley
• Shararat
• Jaiye Sajna
• Dhurandhar title track

She also spent time interacting with fans, thanked them for their gifts, and shared her excitement about the tour.

Her engagement announcement made the opening night even more memorable.

Who Is Shekhar Chaudhary?

Very little information about Shekhar Chaudhary is currently available in the public domain.

Jasmine has always kept her personal life private, and this on-stage announcement marked the first time she publicly introduced him as her fiancé.

During the concert, Shekhar appeared on stage wearing casual clothes and celebrated the special moment with Jasmine before leaving the stage.

Before this announcement, Jasmine had previously been linked to singer Garry Sandhu, but she had not publicly spoken about any recent relationship.

A Special Moment for Fans

Jasmine Sandlas chose one of the biggest moments of her career to share one of the biggest moments of her personal life.

For fans who have followed her journey—from performing for small crowds and selling homemade CDs to headlining arena concerts—the engagement announcement felt like another important milestone in her inspiring story.

As the Dream Girl India Tour continues across India, the opening night in Delhi will be remembered not only for the music but also for the heartfelt moment when Jasmine Sandlas introduced the man she plans to spend her life with.
