I would never do something vulgar: Asin (Film Snippets)

New Delhi, Oct 22 (IANS) Southern beauty Asin, who is looking forward to her mega budget Bollywood release 'London Dreams', says she chooses her roles carefully as she doesn't want to do anything vulgar or indecent.

'I would never do something that is baseless, vulgar and indecent... something I am not comfortable doing and therefore can't do justice with,' Asin told IANS.

'When I choose a film, my criteria are script, role, director, producer and then co-artist. Language or financial issues never determine what film I want to do,' she added.

The 23-year-old made her debut in Hindi movies opposite superstar Aamir Khan in the hit film 'Ghajini' last year.

Criticism about my nasal voice used to upset me: Reshammiya

He preferred calling it high-pitched singing, but everyone else branded composer-singer-actor Himesh Reshammiya's voice as nasal singing, something that used to hurt him deeply.

'When people used to tell me that you have a nasal touch in your singing, I used to feel very bad. When you sing in high pitch, some notes do get a slight nasal touch, but one can't brand that nasal singing altogether.

'I used to think that my songs are becoming hit still people are criticising my singing. I wanted to give my singing the name of high-pitched voice, but so many people criticised me. I was hurt,' Reshammiya told IANS.

In his forthcoming film 'Radio', the 36-year-old has crooned songs in two distinct voices. One in his trademark high-pitch voice and the other in a lower octave without the nasal touch.
