She made her first appearance in the adult entertainment industry in 2003, and as of 2006 has acted in over sixty porn movies.^[1]

Apart from acting in hardcore porn films she also does adult modeling, belly dancing, and is reported to have training in Jeet Kune Do. Based in the US, she is one of the few Bangladeshi female actors able to break into the western entertainment industry, the others being Shefali Chowdhury and Konnie Huq, who work at the other end of the spectrum of respectability.

[edit] Biography

In her video interviews Jazmin comes across as a naïve victim of circumstances, but her biography tells that she has gone through all the trials and tribulations that all aspiring porn stars go through to become the first ever porn star from her native Bangladesh. She is the daughter of first generation Bangladeshi-Americans who migrated from the port city of Chittagong^{[citation needed]}.

[edit] Early life

In an interview, Jazmin says, "I've always wanted to be famous for something. I tried to sing but I suck at it. I tried to dance. I was kinda good. I did belly dancing professionally. I wanted to do something more. I was very shy and not thinking good about myself." Around that time she moved out of her parents home.

Then she continues, "One of my friends said I would be good at porn if I tried. I was freaked out the first time. Then I thought why not. I want to go with the flow. I just did my thing. I started doing nude modeling with High Society magazine. Then I started dancing for a couple of months. I got bored with it. I heard about Mark Spiegler from one of my friends. That he was an agent. I called him. The next thing I knew I was in porn."^[2]

[edit] Early career

As one of the | Spiegler Girls, the top adult performer management agency in Los Angeles, she soon started getting small roles in X-rated movies. Spiegler landed her first two movies - Orgy World (7) and Incumming (3) - with production houses Evasive Angles and Diabolic. For the next two months she arranged for almost continuous shooting with some of the top porn producers like Anabolic, Red Light District, and Platinum X Pictures. The first two releases were closely followed by two films from the house West Coast - Booty Talk (48) and Bustin' Nutzs.^[1]

In another interview Jazmin said, of Mark Spiegler, "He's like a guide. The best thing I like about him is my first time [performing]. I was very scared. In one minute he just sat me down. He was there for the shoot, and he sat me down and calmed me down. I would never work for anybody else except him."^[3]

[edit] Disappointments

Her first films were all very forgettable. In Orgy World she was cast along with a horde of other female performers - Keiko, Ariana Jollee, Daphne Rosen, Destiny Deville, Kayla Marie, Tyler Knight, Asia, Luccia, Luissa Rosso, Melanie X, Nika Lani, Staci Thorn, Trinity Post, Venus, and Zena. In Booty Talk she was one of seven new girls, led by Spiegler favorite Marie Luv. This film contains Jazmin's first performance on camera (January 2004), and it features Asia (not Asia Carrera), another newcomer from the Orgy World set and one of her closest partners in her early days. This was followed by three films in the barely legal category, exploiting her age of 19 and youthful appearance - Easy Prey by Smash Pictures, 18 Year Old Pussy (3) by Sin City, and Barely 18 (13) by Devil's Film. Then she was presented as a fresh new Latin face of the porn industry in her next four films - Who's the New Girl by New Sensations, Hot Ass Latinas (2) by Platinum X Pictures, Fresh New Faces (5) by Red Light District, and Teen Latin Dolls (3) by Exquisite Pleasures.

She started moving away from Spiegler, and LA, though a brief attempt at moving out to Connecticut didn't realize. The last film she did as one of the Spiegler Girls was her biggest success till that time, BiggZ and the Beauties (11) by Digital Sin, featuring her in the second lead and BiggZ's supposedly 15 inch long organ as the storyline. She was still being billed as Indian, Middle Eastern, "Ebony" (meaning African-American), or Latin.

IMDb profile

Her next three films were done without Spiegler - Wet Brunettes (3) by Platinum X Pictures, Double Teamed (4) by Digital Sin, and About Face (1) by 3rd Degree. All were moderate roles in moderate films, but at the same time all were from big production houses and featured glittering casts. Wet Brunettes had Jezebelle Bond as co-star, while Double Teamed had Nadia Nyce and Roxy Jezel, two more of her partners in the emerging Indian ethnic genre.

Her big break came from a modest production house, not one of the big ones. Maximum Xposure cast her as the female lead in Bangladesh Booty, a film which carried an exotic flavor of a faraway land to the viewers. It was closely followed by Throat Yogurt (2), a Platinum X Picture production again riding on Jazmin as the lead.

[edit] Bangladesh Booty

Bangladesh Booty is the first-ever internationally released formal/official porn movie to bear the name of Bangladesh and to feature a Bangladeshi in the female lead. It is also the first film to promote Jazmin as a Bangladeshi. It featured a multi-cultural host of pornstars, all posing as Bangladeshis, as well as Jazmin belly dancing, doing yoga and having sex in Kamasutra positions.^[4]

In casting the first-ever declared Bangladeshi porn actor in her first leading role, this film created a headway for Bangladesh formally into one major area of entertainment. It also has taken the emerging porn-film genre of Indian ethnic to a more detailed level in recognizing smaller parts of the Indian subcontinent like Bangladesh, which the long-standing genre of Ebony ethnic had failed to do. It is even more remarkable in the fact that unlike India or UK-based Indian ethnic films, Bangladesh Booty was made in the US, featuring a multi-cultural cast posing as Bangladeshis.

[edit] Bigger and better

More success followed in 2005 - Anal Addicts (19) by Northstar Associates (anal sex), Asian Cream Pie Invasion by Devil's Film (bukakke), Squirting 101 (4) by Digital Sin (squirting) and more. The brightest feathers in her cap were the artfully made movies - Intrigue by Wicked Pictures, Head Master (1) by Adam & Eve Pictures, Oh Me So Horny (3) by Lethal Hardcore. Her status as a pornstar was forged in iron with the release of Worship this Bitch 3: the Jazmin edition by Bouncy Pictures.

2006 began equally exciting for her with the releases of Headmaster (2) by Adam and Eve Pictures (a bigger better rehash of the original) and Playgirl Private Pleasures by Playgirl/Wicked Pictures (pornography for women). Also in this year, the success of Bangaldesh Booty prompted Maximum Xposure to produce Bangladesh Booty 2, featuring a host of Latina and Indian pornstars. Sahara Knite, Destiny Deville, Persia Decarlo, Rio Mariah, and Velvet performed in this film released in January 17, 2006. It has been reported that, whenever Jazmin is called an Indian she now throws things and swears. Half of her later movies actually contain Bengali dialogues written by her.
