MUMBAI: Anup Jalota and Jasleen Matharu came into limelight after participating in the popular reality show Bigg Boss last year. They have come together for another project.
Yes, the bhajan singer is all set to team up again with his student Jasleen, for a film titled Vo Meri Student Hai. It’s a take on their real life and Anup will play a singer, while Jasleen will play his student.
Speaking about it, Anup told Times of India, “Last year, Diwali ke pehle ek dhamaaka kiya tha Bigg Boss mein participate karke. Aur ye film iss Diwali ke pehle ka dhamaaka hai. It will clear a lot of misconceptions in the minds of people about my equation with Jasleen. In the film, she comes to learn music from me and I will be seen asking her to dress up more appropriately, as I am from a traditional music background.”
He added, “In real life too, I keep telling her and my other students the same thing. I have no issues with anyone wearing clothes of their choice, but certain situations demand a certain kind of dressing. I, too, wear shorts in real life, but I don’t wear them to my class when I am teaching students. We have to respect the platform.”
During Bigg Boss, he was romantically linked with Jasleen, which the singer clarified repeatedly. He said to the daily, “Zero per cent relationship tha, aur na ho sakta hai. We are different people. I can be with a person who is my type, like how my wife Medha was. Jasleen aur mere beech mein kuchh nahi hai and this film will showcase that. I remember, when I stepped out of 'Bigg Boss', my mother asked me, ‘Who is Jasleen?’ So, not many people were aware of her presence in my life. That goes to show that there was nothing between us. I have even mentioned that Jasleen ka kanyadaan uske papa aur main milke karenge.”
On the other hand, Jasleen clarified, “I knew Anupji from earlier, but the time we spent inside the house will always be precious and important, as we got to know each other better. Till date, people wonder about our relationship and speculations don’t cease. Yeh cheez khatam hi nahi hui hai. After Bigg Boss, I told everyone that I had just played a prank on the show and we have a guru-shishya equation, but people didn't believe me. People ask Anupji, ‘Bhabiji ko nahi lekar aaye?’ and they ask me, ‘Jijaji kaise hain?’ or ‘Aapke pati kaise hain?’ There are many who have a relationship beyond the guru-shishya equation, but hamara bilkul bhi nahi hai. This film is our last hope to clear the air.”
