Talking about working with Yasmin, BAFTA winning director Martin Smith said:

“Yasmin is such an exciting actor and a joy to have on set. I directed her in the upcoming series of Silent Witness in a challenging role that she embraced and shone in. A delight to work with, she is a real livewire and a talent to keep an eye out for. 

“Not only a resourceful actor, she is a natural on the film set, and a real team player whose enthusiasm was infectious. I can’t wait to see what she does next and being a huge fan of Brookside back in the day, am really looking forward to seeing her in this new role.”
