Jasmine sandals: Owning Past, Choosing Growth

Jasmine Sandlas often linked to “Dhurandhar Singer” in her recent interview highlighted the difficulties she faced during her early 20s. She openly spoke about her unhealthy addiction with alcohol and said she “drank more than I should have”, admitting it was excessive & unhealthy drinking.

She said that drinking became the regular coping mechanism for her, more than just a social behavior. It reached to the point where it started to affect her mental health, decision making, overall lifestyle discipline and caused emotional distress.

 She described feeling isolated despite being in her growing career phase which resulted in navigating success without emotional grounding. The career pressure & personal life imbalance along with the difficulties in handling expectations all significantly impacted her mind and alcohol became the only way to numb or escape from emotional overload.

She continued and shared about the family pain she faced like feeling misunderstood and lack of emotional alignment, they were not the serious conflicts but added to a deeper psychological layer not just the surface level stress. She described the phase as a period where she felt lost, mentally exhausted and disconnected from herself which ruined her mentally & emotionally.

Later instead of any external controversy, her realization came internally as she gradually realized that this coping mechanism is actually harming her and resulting in going out of control. She then began to shift from escaping problems to taking accountability with small steps like recognizing her behavior patterns, accepting responsibilities and confronting fears.

Her family played a key role in it while supporting and improving relationships. The change wasn’t sudden but gradual, she moved from harmful habits and rebuilt her mental discipline and emotional clarity. Now she reflects with honesty and sees her journey as lesson not label. She sets an example that real strength never lies in perfection but in the courage to heal, confront and grow.
