Jasmine Bhambra (Manjit Panghali's Sister) Biography

Jasmine Bhambra is a Canadian real estate professional and community instructor who became publicly known for representing her family after the 2006 murder

Early life and background

Jasmine Bhambra was born on 14 February 1971 and is a Canadian national from the Fraser Valley region. She studied at the UBC Sauder School of Business in Vancouver, where in 2021 she completed coursework in real estate. Jasmine has black hair and black eyes and is an Aquarius by birth date.

Career

Jasmine began her working life in interior design before moving into venture capital. She later trained as a real estate professional and is licensed with RE/MAX Little Oak Realty. Alongside her real estate work, Jasmine teaches yoga and meditation with a focus on trauma, grief and resilience through Sacred Space Yoga Therapy. She is also certified as a YogaKids International teacher and is active as a community collaborator with Live in the Fraser Valley.

Public profile

Jasmine is widely known for her role following the 2006 death of her sister, Manjit Panghali. After Manjit’s disappearance and the subsequent discovery of her badly burned remains, Jasmine represented Manjit’s family in media interactions and court proceedings. In 2007, following the arrest of Manjit’s husband, Jasmine was awarded custody of Manjit’s daughter, Maya, after a legal contest with the husband’s parents. Jasmine has described the custody fight as an extremely traumatic and culturally challenging time.

Jasmine has spoken publicly about maintaining a connection to her sister through Maya, noting small likenesses in Maya’s manner and sense of humor that remind her of Manjit. She has recounted a vivid dream in which Manjit reassured her at the moment custody was secured.

Community work and advocacy

In 2011 Jasmine set up a private scholarship fund and has worked to engage community groups to develop programs to help victims of domestic violence. She has expressed a hope that Maya will one day participate in or continue that work.

Family and personal life

Jasmine married Monty Bhambra on 17 June 2001. The couple have three children: daughters Saveena and Nikki Bhambra and son Rajan Bhambra. After the death of her sister, Jasmine also became the adoptive mother of Maya Panghali.

Latest updates

In March 2022, a documentary-style web series titled 'Til Death Do Us Part: The Murder Of Manjit Basra' was streamed on Discovery Plus; the series covers the married life and murder of Manjit Panghali, an event that deeply affected Jasmine and her family.

Jasmine continues to live and work in the Fraser Valley area, combining real estate practice with teaching and community-focused projects.
