Asin Photos and Videos

We wish a very happy birthday to Asin Thottumkal. The Kerala-born actress is currently enjoying the promotion campaign for her new film London Dreams and recently talked about how co-star Salman Khan and her father got along together on set. “Salman and my father got along very well and he even gifted my father one autographed portrait,” she said.

Producer Vipul Shah has dreamed up an interesting way to promote London Dreams, the story about two village kids who want to be rock stars. He’s going to put on two rock shows in Delhi and Mumbai starring the cast of Salman, Asin and Ajay Devgan. “I see no point in the traditional media interactions,” he explained, “Besides, both the actors have done enough media in the last two months for their other films. Since London Dreams is about on-stage experiences the rock concerts seemed like a good idea.”

Just one film old in Bollywood, Asin Thottumkal has had more than her share of controversies. The miffed actress, who is a superstar down south, wonders why “people are targeting” her.

“Please tell me why people are targeting me? I don`t know why everybody is trying to give me a hard time. I am a newcomer, what have I done (in Bollywood)?” asked an exasperated Asin. “I am clueless why people are just interested in creating stories which are not true about me. I haven`t figured that out,” she added

“Apparently a lot of rubbish has been written about me and most of my interviews are wasted clarifying those,” Asin told reporters.The 23-year-old made her Bollywood debut opposite Aamir Khan in the hit psychological action thriller “Ghajini” last year and became an overnight sensation.

She has, however, been caught up in a string of rumours — a recent one being that the actress refused a role in Farah Khan`s next directorial venture, “Happy New Year”, opposite Shah Rukh Khan.

Asin had a dream start with Bollywood as she bagged films with two Khans – Aamir and Salman. She was very vocal that she wanted to work with the third powerful Khan – Shah Rukh. Funnily, when she had the chance, she turned it down!

A few days ago, Farah Khan offered her a role in her next, Happy New Year, which stars Shah Rukh Khan, which is slated to go on the floors by end of this year.

Asin took her time to mull over the offer, consulted her father and then sent word to Farah that she won’t be doing the film. “Ever since Asin appeared on Farah’s show Tere Mere Beach Mein, they have been in touch. When Farah offered her the role, initially Asin was quite excited. It is not known why she refused Farah’s film,” says a source.

Ghajini fame beautiful actress Asin Thotumkal may not have much films on hand but the talks are in progress with a big producer, in the meanwhile the actress isn’t sitting idle.

During the last month, Asin has been busy to shoot for various renowned brand names. Asin recently shot for Big Bazaar and Tata Sky, the two big shots in the business arena.

Asin was shooting with prominent photographer Jatin Kampani on Friday for the print advertisement of Big Bazaar.

A source disclosed, “We have already shot the television commercials for Big Bazaar a month before along with MS Dhoni who is our our brand ambassador when he was in India. This is the second phase of the company’s advertising campaign.”

Ghajini girl Asin received a marriage proposal from one of her fans and the man did it with passion and panache. He sent her a love letter and a diamond.

Wow! That’s our reaction, but what about Asin, how did she react? The dainty actress confirms the news and was quoted as saying, “It’s an extremely personal issue involving a fan and I wouldn’t really like to comment on it.”

So, for the actress this is a personal issue but one can’t deny that she was overwhelmed by it. According to a source, for Asin it was a bolt-from-the-blue moment, but a bit embarrassing too as it’s not everyday that an actress gets a marriage proposal along with a marvelous, glittering solitaire. So, she was indeed taken aback by this gesture of a frenzied fan.

Asin recently shot the new Big Bazaar TV Commercial with Indian cricket team’s captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni at a studio in Filmcity, Goregaon, Mumbai. Asin had been signed up as Big Bazaar brand ambassador just few months back, but had only done a print ad campaign with them since then. This is her first TV ad shoot for the brand.

It is learnt that this recent ad shoot between Asin and Dhoni took an entire day to shoot and saw many clothes changes for both of them. In fact, during the breaks both Asin and Dhoni even indulged in playing games. Dhoni seems to be fast gaining popularity amongst brands as just recently another ad featuring Bollywood hottie Bipasha Basu was seen on TV for an international shoe brand.

Ever since Asin featured opposite Salman Khan in ‘London dreams’, their alleged love affair became a juicy topic of discussion for the cine-goers. But the south sensation stopped the public from speaking about her affair with Salman by making a public statement that she has a soft corner for Salman Khan but she is in love with someone else. Now she revealed who the lucky guy is. He is her childhood love as she has grown up fantasizing him.

Asin’s deepest love is the ‘oldest teenager of the world’ Archie- protagonist of Archie comics. She was stuck by the comic character and love to read the comic series from the age of nine. The ‘Ghajini’ gal even carried them along and reads in her free time. Now this piece of news may give some relief to Asin’s die hard fans who dream to be the darling of her heart.

After debuting stunningly in ‘Ghajini’, Asin is all set to steal the audience heart with ‘London Dreams’ starring Salman and Ajay Devgan.

With an unusual name, Asin has had people pronouncing her name in various ways and the actress is often amused by it.

People have even come up to her and asked her if that’s her real name. Asin says, “Asin means without sin.

It’s a mix of English and Sanskrit. And yes, it is my real name, not a screen name. You can give credit to my parents who came up with such an unusual name. It’s their creativity.”

Asin has rejected to work with Bollywood’s Khiladi Akshay Kumar in his next flick ‘De Dana Dan’, the reason being clash of dates. However, Asin’s loss is Katrina Kaif’s gain as she has grabbed the role.

After ‘Ghajini’, Salman Khan-Ajay Devgan starrer ‘London Dreams’ and Priyadarshan’s comedy with Akshay Kumar ‘De dana Dan’ were the two biggies in her kitty. But Asin refused the latter offer as “There was date clash”.

Addressing a press meet, Asin said, ‘I could not do the role because of dates problem’.

However, according to the sources, the film is a three-heroine project, due to this reason Asin is not comfortable working in the movie.

Priyadarshan’s upcoming ‘De Dana Dan’ will be the fourth film where Akki and Katrina would be seen together.
