By Anil Merani: Jasmin Bhasin and Aly Goni, a popular couple in the Indian television industry, have faced significant online trolling due to their interfaith relationship—Jasmin is Sikh and Aly is Muslim. Recently, Jasmin addressed these issues in interviews, firmly shutting down critics who target their personal choices. She emphasized that religion is a private matter and irrelevant to their happiness, stating, “If two people are happy, others can keep their stupid opinions to themselves.” This reflects their stance against societal judgment and their commitment to keeping their relationship above external noise.
The couple’s journey began in 2018 when they met on the reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi. Their bond deepened during Bigg Boss 14 in 2020, where their chemistry won fans over, earning them the nickname “JasLy.” Despite their strong connection, they’ve faced challenges, including religious discrimination while searching for a home in Mumbai. Jasmin shared that some landlords rejected them due to their different faiths, an experience that highlighted societal biases. However, this only strengthened their resolve and inspired many with their resilience.
Jasmin also opened up about her family’s initial reaction to Aly’s faith. Her Sikh family was surprised at first, but after meeting Aly and seeing his character, they wholeheartedly accepted him. This mutual respect extends to their relationship, which Jasmin describes as rooted in friendship. In a Times of India interview, she noted that their bond is “more than just love,” built on years of understanding and support. Aly echoed this sentiment, emphasizing their transparency and lack of pretense, which keeps their relationship grounded.
Regarding marriage, Jasmin clarified that there’s no rush. While fans speculate about their wedding, especially after Aly’s playful comments about 2026, the couple prioritizes their careers and personal growth. Jasmin mentioned they will tie the knot when the “time feels right,” and the audience is encouraged to support their individual projects—Jasmin’s acting and Aly’s music ventures, including his recent song “Tu” with Prakriti Kakar.
Their public appearances, such as their 2022 Umrah trip, have also drawn mixed reactions, with some praising their unity and others trolling them. Despite this, Jasmin and Aly consistently advocate for love over division, urging trolls to stay out of their personal lives. Their story underscores a broader message: relationships thrive on mutual respect, not societal approval, and religion should remain a personal choice, not a public debate. Their advocacy for love serves as a powerful message that inspires many.
