Asin shifting to Mumbai
South Indian actress Asin Thotumkal is shifting to Mumbai now that her career in Bollywood has taken off, starting with Aamir Khan’s Ghajini.
Her parents are also moving in with her in Bandra where she is in the lookout for a home.
“I’ve been traveling non-stop. I had no time to look around and find a place. But now we’re finalizing a place in Bandra. Hopefully, by New Year I’ll lock in to the place. Right now we feel a little unsettled. In Mumbai, you desperately need your own home,” Asin, who made her Hindi film debut with the just released “Ghajini“, told IANS.
Asin’s parents have moved from Chennai to Mumbai with her.
“Both of them gave up their jobs to be with me. Mom is a doctor. She has taken voluntary retirement. She manages my home now. And dad had seven business enterprises. He gave them up to look after my career. Right now I’m quite a handful and worth more than all his business ventures,” she reveals.
Asin, who is a fun loving and loves to talk, admits she was asked to keep quiet till “Ghajini” hits the screen. Directed by A.R. Murugadoss and produced by Allu Arvind, the film starring Aamir Khan in main lead was released Friday.
“The marketing team felt that I should maintain a distance from the press until the film’s release. However, that didn’t stop speculative write-ups about me. I read things about myself that I didn’t know,” she said.
Asin also denies reports that she was under contract with the “Ghajini” makers.
“I’m under no contract. Didn’t I sign ‘London Dreams‘ while ‘Ghajini‘ was being shot? If I haven’t signed another film, it’s because I haven’t come across anything exciting. I was supposed to do Priyadarshan’s film with Akshay Kumar, but that clashed with promotional dates of ‘Ghajini‘,” Asin said.
She is also shooting for London Dreams opposite Salman Khan.
She will be moving into her new home in Bandra in January.
