Mumbai: Actress Shehnaaz Gill has opened up about her character Jasneet Kaur in “Singh Vs Kaur 2.” Speaking exclusively to IANS, she shared what made portraying the Bengali-rooted character an interesting experience for her.

Jasneet Kaur comes from a Bengali background, while the story of the film travels across Punjab, Kolkata, and Canada.


Speaking about the character, Shehnaaz shared that the role gave her an opportunity to explore different cultures, languages, and personalities. Gill stated, “It was a lot of fun, and it was a very interesting character. And I enjoyed living in that culture. And seriously, when you watch the film, the way we have presented Kolkata so beautifully, you will find it very interesting. When you watch the film on 11th September, you tell me how much you found my character interesting. I enjoyed it a lot.”

Shehnaaz has opened up about being part of the ‘Singh vs Kaur 2’ franchise and addressed the possibility of comparisons with the first film.

The actress said she does not feel any pressure, as her character Jasmeet is different from the one portrayed in the original.

The actress explained that while the first installment featured a different character named Jasmeet, the sequel introduces her in the role. “I think, as far as comparisons are concerned, in Singh Vs Kaur, the first character was a girl named Jasmeet, who was someone else. Now, it’s me. So, I don’t have any pressure about this at all. And I don’t think there will be any point of comparison because, of course, some things have a lot of impact on the audience’s minds. But when people see me, trust me, they will fall in love with me too,” said Shehnaaz.

Directed by Navaniat Singh, ‘Singh Vs Kaur 2’ stars Gippy Grewal and Shehnaaz Gill in the lead roles. The film is slated for a worldwide release on September 11, 2026.
