The popular soap brand Lux signed Asin as their brand ambassador in late 2010. Asin was also the brand ambassador for Big Bazzar, with the Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

# She is also a good classical dancer.

# She was the winner of an entrepreneurial award as a teenager. She is fond of reading and has a huge collection of books.

# About Aamir Khan after Ghajni she said: “I`ve been an ardent admirer of Aamir Khan`s movies, his acting and him as a person, ever since I was a kid, it is a dream come true. To work with him in my first Hindi venture is fabulous. I must say that he is a very supportive co-star, encouraging and very down to earth. That is the high point of his personality. He is passionate about his work which we all know and to see him in an avtaar like this in Ghajini is inspiring”.

Asin Quotes!!

"I am still new in Bollywood and am looking at new scripts, but being very selective; I want to do something that will give me total satisfaction."

"The media in Bollywood takes more liberties than it does in the South. But, that's natural, considering the magnitude of the Hindi film industry."

"I have slowly started developing a thick skin; it is necessary here in Bollywood. I have learnt from bigger stars such as Ajay and Aamir that it is better to ignore than retaliate. The key is not to get annoyed."

"I read a lot. I spend a lot of money on books. At the airports, you will find me only in bookstores. I read a lot of fiction. I have a big library at home."

"Thanks to Murugadas sir for giving me a character like Kalpana. I am overwhelmed by the response that Kalpana got. Theatre owners and distributors called to thank me, which is so rare. Imagine somebody calling a heroine and thanking her for the movie! It is very touching."

"Most of the letters I receive are love letters. I received a notebook comprising of two hundred pages in which a fan had described my beauty. I also receive emails from overseas."

"Love is to extend oneself to nurture the all around development of another as a person."

Split with parents?

# There was a lot of talk about Asin being at loggerheads with her parents, moving into a residence of her own etc… But, apparently, not a bit of that was true as Asin confirmed later. The news seems to have stemmed from the fact that she did have a separate house apart from the one where she lived with her parents, but that, as she clarified, was just her office. That rumour came out of another rumour that her father allegedly had a disliking for Salman. But Asin react to this,..”What rubbish? They get along like a house on fire and are very buddy buddy with each other. They gang up against me and pull my leg. In fact, I am the odd one out when they are together. They are such good friends that despite his busy schedule, Salman painted a portrait of my dad, signed it and gifted it to him. That's the rapport they share. I really don't know where these stories are coming from. I am the only person in the limelight. If anybody wants to write anything true or false, write about me. But don't drag my parents into it. It's really not appreciated”.

# There were some rumours that Asin is a new girl friend to Salman Khan. The first rumour that appeared was that she was at loggerheads with Salman's girlfriend Katrina Kaif. It was reported that Katrina got upset when she heard that her beau was helping Asin find a house in Mumbai, but Asin says “ I don't even know Katrina, for god's sake! I have worked with Salman in one film and my relationship with him has been friendly, professional. Nothing more or less than that”.

Asin with Salman

# Lot of recent gossips have been tormenting Asin. Apparently she seems to be very upset with them and responded to the media like “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”.

How much of fire is actually behind all this smoke will be known in the coming days.
