Jassi jaisi koi nahin—this compliment is rightly reserved for the beautiful, bewitching anchor and actress, Jaspreet Jassi— whether she is on stage conducting a star nite, mega model fashion show, DD’s Punjabi idol programme or portraying the character of ‘Bijli’ in Vancouver or Toronto theatres.
Born, brought up and educated in City Beautiful, Jassi had been nursing her passion for stage performances while pursuing her Bachelor’s degree in Computer Application and a Post-graduate diploma in Marketing only to take up law and compete for a career in judiciary.
“Over the years, compeering and anchoring have attained a greater significance, qualifying to be a full-fledged ‘profession’”, says Jassi.
“This profession demands that an anchor be highly skilled, cultured and competitive to handle the stage and situations presented and making the audience receptive to the performing artist,” adds Jassi.
“In-depth knowledge of the mysticism of Baba Bulle Shah, Sultan Bahu Shah Hussain, the romance and pathos of Sahir Ludhianvi and Shiv Kumar Batalvi besides the regional folklore, filmi glamour world, and the diverse current issues facilitate my stage performance with a zooming confidence,” claims Jassi.
Recalling anchoring for a programme for film ‘Apne’ at the Rock garden in the city, she says, “Dharmendra and Kiron Kher along with Amar Singh and Shilpa Shetty were on stage to present a prize to Sunny Deol. I could make my presence felt among the stars which I feel is an attribute to my compeering skills, experience and expertise as a stage performer.”
She had the opportunity to anchor shows with different persons like the one with cricketing legends Sunil Gavaskar, Srikkanth, and Gillepsie, actors Tushar Kapoor and Isha Kopekar, singers Mika Singh, Gurdas Mann, Hans Raj Hans, Jasbir Jassi, Bhagwant Mann and others.
But performing as a theatre artist as ‘Bijli’ in a Punjabi comedy play in Canada and California was a exhilarating experience, says Jassi signing off.
