Exclusive! Shaheer Sheikh: Jasmin Bhasin and I clicked from the word go

A still from Iss Baarish Mein

Shaheer Sheikh and Jasmin Bhasin star in ‘Iss Baarish Mein,' a love track that has just released. The actor caught up with mid-day.com to speak about his latest project.

Speaking about what got him on board for the song Shaheer told mid-day.com, "I liked the song the first time I heard it. It's an old school, sweet, romantic song. I knew that Aditya (Datt) is going to be directing it and I believe in his vision as I've done one song with him before. I also got to know Jasmin Bhasin is going to be part of the song, there was no reason to say no."

While their on-screen chemistry is being appreciated by fans, speaking about their rapport off screen he says, "Jasmin and I clicked from the word go. It was the first time we were meeting, I've never worked with her before. I had heard good things about her since we have common friends. She's very professional and things went smooth."

The duo play college sweethearts in the song and reminiscing about his own college days, the actor recalls, "College was the best phase of life. I used to study in Pune, at Bharati Vidyapeeth and have a lot of memories of the monsoon. We would take bike rides to Lonavala, it was amazing we loved it. We used to wait for the monsoons just so we could go on those trips. I started modelling during college and was part of a dance troupe. We started winning competitions maybe because of that I became popular."

The actor adds that he has begun to enjoy being part of music videos. "It gives me a good break from what I'm doing. Whenever I sign up for a music video you work with a new crew and it's a different location. It's not that heavy on you, you don't have to get the character right all the time, it's a bit easier for me," says Shaheer.
