"I remember dad used to make me rehearse the lines and then we would go on the sets and after seeing the camera, I would forget all my lines. I used to not do anything and come back home. This lasted for two years, but my father did not give up and took me to the sets again. It took me a while to get comfortable with the camera and the environment. I don't blame myself for that and neither did my father because I was very young and had not seen the environment of the sets, everything was new."

"My parents have also been so supportive that they have kept an eye and have given their suggestions. They've always told me you shouldn't do something for which you face backlash or you upset your audience. There are certain kinds of brands, Apps that I do not promote because I feel they are not appropriate for my audience. We have certain principles and values and the dos and don'ts are very clear."

Adding that she learnt the art of bold decision-making from her parents, Jannat said:
"I look up to my father and when I see him fearlessly being bold, not thinking about the future or the repercussions. He did not think if I'm saying no now and what if 10 years later Jannat gets a big project which demands such scenes, I might regret my current decision. He did not think twice before saying no because he was very confident about his decision. And Touchwood, even after so many years I don't get a single negative comment. I've only received positive reviews."
