The pretty 29-year-old actor Jasmine Hyde who has worked extensively in theatre including the Royal Shakespeare Company, has done shows for BBC TV and has also been seen in a film called Runt.

She says, β€œI’m missing him,” about her 10-month-old son Louis whom she has left back home in UK while she was recently in the country for a week to promote her upcoming movie A Distant Mirage.  

Besides her budding acting career, Hyde has a secret that is causing her to burst with excitement, β€œI’m getting married in June, 2009 to Jonathan Tafler (a British actor). I asked him to marry me on February 29th last year (It was a leap year) and he agreed.” 
And though she is gung ho about her marriage, she says, β€œMy partner and I have an understanding. When he is working, I stay at home and take care of Louis and when I’m out, he takes over. But this is the first time he’s taking care of Louis for a week.”

Talking about her role in her upcoming movie, she says, β€œI’m playing Rosi, an English girl who lives in London. She is an independent and strong woman who is dating Micky, who happens to be married to a character called Usha. Obviously, Rosi doesn’t know about it.” 

The international actor loves Indian cinema. She says, β€œI watched Lagaan and I loved it. Aamir Khan was brilliant in it. I also loved the whole cast of Rock On. It is a wonderful film. Even Slumdog Millionaire is a good movie.” That apart, the actor also loves β€œIndian music and fashion and, surprisingly the weather.”
