Actress Asin may have worked with quite a handful of actors in Bollywood, but she insists that she has a soft corner for actor Salman Khan. The actor, who started her career down South, is now concentrating on Bollywood.
But Asin wants to make it clear that she is more than just another pretty actor. Talking about her daredevil nature, she said, "When we wereshooting in Kanchanaburi (Thailand) a unit member showed us some insects on a tree and said that they were edible. Then Salman challenged me to eat one. I get kicked when someone throws me a challenge, so I just chewed one insect and everyone was astonished. They thought I was a maniac,"said Asin.
Talking about another incident, Asin said, "I went near a few tiger cubs, at a tiger temple, during the same shooting schedule. I love animals a lot and I even fed the cubs. This made people around feel that I'm insanely bold, but the truth is that the tigers were trained under the Buddhist monks and were harmless." Talking about films, her upcoming flick Ready is up for release and incidentally she stars opposite Sallu in it.
Having said that she is quite fond of Salman, she added, "Salman is the best host in B-town. He loves to bring yummy home cooked meals for everyone in the unit. While we were shooting in Mumbai he used to get food from his home almost everyday."
Quiz her about her rumoured project with superstar Shah Rukh Khan, whom Salman can't see eye-to-eye with, and Asin prefers to keep mum. We wonder what good friend Salman has to say about the buzz though
