Some beauties in the film world acted in only a few films and then got married and left the big screen forever. Asin, who has made her mark in acting from South to Bollywood, is one such beauties. Asin has been away from the big screen for a long time and is also less active on social media. Asin shares few posts on social media, and the posts she does share are either related to her daughter or old films. Today, Asin is celebrating her 40th birthday. On this occasion, let us tell you about her career and also find out where Asin is and what she is doing now, away from the glitz and glamour of films.
Asin, who has romanced actors ranging from Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, to Akshay Kumar, was born on this day, October 26, 1985, in Kochi and belongs to a Syro-Malabar Catholic family. Asin’s father, Joseph Thottumkal, was a former CBI officer and businessman, and her mother, Celine Thottumkal, is a surgeon. Asin attended Naval Public School and St. Teresa’s College in Kochi.
Another speciality of Asin is that she can speak around seven languages. She knows Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, English, French, and Sanskrit. Asin was only 15 years old when she entered the world of acting. She began her career in 2001 with “Narendran Makan Jayakanthan Vaka.” She subsequently appeared in films like “Amma Nanna O Tamila Ammayi” and “M. Kumaran Son of Mahalakshmi.” In 2008, she made her Bollywood debut with Aamir Khan’s “Ghajini” and became a household name. Her first film was a blockbuster, and she subsequently worked in films like “Ready” (2011) with Salman Khan, “Khiladi 786” and “Housefull 2” with Akshay Kumar.
Asin acted in 25 films in her 14-year career before suddenly disappearing from the big screen. She is married to Micromax founder Rahul Sharma, whom she met during a promotional event for “Housefull 2.” Akshay Kumar played the matchmaker in Asin and Rahul’s love story, and this was revealed by Rahul Sharma himself. Akshay introduced Asin to Rahul while she was traveling with Akshay and other team members on a private jet. Rahul was a close friend of Akshay’s and the private jet belonged to him.
In 2016, she married a millionaire businessman. Akshay told Rahul and Asin that they looked good together and should date. Asin remained silent at the time, but when she learned about Rahul, she was astonished. She was amazed by the simplicity of the owner of 1300 crore rupees. They exchanged numbers and began a conversation. In 2016, Asin married Rahul and retired from acting.
Her last film was “All Is Well,” which was released in 2016. In 2017, Asin gave birth to a daughter, whom she named Arin Rain, a combination of her and Rahul’s names. She has not given her daughter a surname and has kept her away from caste and religious discrimination. Asin is currently enjoying her family life and lives in Mumbai.
