With her allure intact and a newfound confidence Asin manages to articulate her love for the city. "I miss this place so much. It is my favourite city." This ace Bharatnatyam dancer who was in Chennai recently says, "The vibe of the people here, the culture and the wonderful blend of tradition and modernity here is simply wonderful."
Talking about her Kollywood projects she says, "I'm working with Vijay in Kaavalan, which is a remake of the Malayalam film Body Guard. This is my third film with him. Our first two movies, in which we acted together, were blockbusters so I'm hoping for a hat trick. Fingers crossed."
And by acting in Kaavalan, the actress has kept up her word. She says, "The story behind Kaavalan is that I was offered the role in Malayalam three years back but unfortunately I couldn't take it up, but I had promised the director that I'll be a part of the remake. This is a very cute love story and I play a strong role in it."
The Ghajini actress, who was in Mettupalayam recently got entangled in a black flag protest rally as she was shooting in Sri Lanka earlier for her upcoming Bollywood movie Ready. When asked about the controversy, she says, "I don't want to rake up an issue now. I've clarified myself many times about it and I don't want to comment on this and invite trouble."
Asin is now excited about Ready. She says, "It is a commercial comedy, directed by Anees Bazmee and I'm acting with Salman Khan. This is our second film together. It is a fun masala flick."
Asin has a good rapport with Salman Khan and Vijay. "I've been fortunate to have a great rapport with all my co-stars. Both Salman and Anees are fun-loving and very supportive. I'm very close to their families too. Vijay and I are good friends and I'm close to his wife, kids and mother too, both Suriya and Jyotika are great buddies and I know Salman's family really well," says Asin who is busy with back-to-back shoots.
Quiz her about her love life and she declares, "Well there is a technical glitch here - I still haven't found the right guy. So there is no one in my life. I'm waiting to be surprised."
Speaking about her Hindi film Silence she diplomatically answers, "Who said I'm a part of the film? I would like to maintain my silence about Silence."
Asin, who is talked of as the queen of endorsements and has won many laurels for her acting doesn't want to sit back and relax. She candidly says, "I'm a very greedy person when it comes to success. I want to achieve a lot more and hopefully if things shape up the right way in the future, I hope to make a mark globally too. And about endorsements, I'm lucky that my audiences have a good connect with me."
Singing and reading are this bombshell's favourite hobbies. "I love singing and in fact I was offered to sing for the Tamil Ghajini and even for the song, Aye Bachu, its Hindi remake, but I turned it down. I hope to sing for a film someday. I also read a lot. At the airports, you will find me only in bookstores. I enjoy a lot of fiction. I have a big library at home. I love to travel and my work is pleasure as it involves a lot of travel and excitement," concludes Asin.
