Well, if you are a 90s kid, you probably have seen the horror flick ‘Veerana’ which starred Jasmine Dhunna, Hemant Birje, and Sumit Aggarwall in the lead roles. Directed by Ramsay brothers, Shyam and Tulsi, the movie gained popularity due to Jasmine’s utter beauty and brilliant performance. Her sensuous avatar of a ghost left everyone stunned, making her the hottest and scariest witch on the silver screen. Dhunna made her acting debut at the age of 13 with the 1979 film Sarkari Mehman opposite Vinod Khanna.
But, her debut film did not do well and thus it failed to earn her a name in the industry. Jasmine Dhunna became an overnight star and rose to prominence with her role of the ghost in Veerana, which marked her return after a gap of a few years in the showbiz world. The horror film saw the actress in the role of a sensuous witch. However, Jasmine Dhunna suddenly vanished from the industry and Veerana remained her last blockbuster movie. Her bold photos often surface on social media with her fans and netizens wondering about her whereabouts.
According to a report in Bollywood life, Jasmine never returned to Bollywood and went missing after her hit horror film Veerana. Reportedly, back then, the buzz had it that the actress was facing troubles because of underworld don, Dawood Ibrahim, who was reportedly obsessed with her beauty. Jasmine had lodged a complaint against Dawood to Mumbai police but they were also said to be corrupted. The underworld don being smitten by her was cited as one of the reasons Jasmine decided to quit the film industry.
Some reports also suggested that she then moved to the US and is now settled there. Talking about Jasmine's whereabouts, Shyam Ramsay, in 2017, in an interview with Hindustan Times, had said that Jasmine Dhunna was in Mumbai. Her mother had passed away and she was greatly affected by the tragic demise of her mother who she was extremely close to. The director added that after her mother died, she decided to leave Bollywood.
Nobody is certain about Jasmine’s current whereabouts. Her sudden exit from the Hindi film industry and whereabouts continue to remain a mystery for everyone.
