Talking about how life has changed after Gully Boy, Jasleen says, “Gully Boy will remain special to me for various reasons. And I am grateful to the makers for making me a part of such an iconic score. I don’t know how my life has changed per se. There is a gradual shift with every project you do, and I hope to reach more and more hearts through every project.”

The singer would save money from her gigs to fund the release of her first single. “I started from scratch and saved every penny I made from shows to release my music. It’s been a long journey, but I am happy to have reached where I am today. However, there’s a lot to be done and I keep working towards my goals,” she replies.
