Ash is a South Indian. People seem to forget that.
Today, Looking at the reach and craze of “south” movies, it’s much better for actors to star in them coz BW films are hardly working.
Kudos to Ash though coz she never let language be a barrier and has worked extensively in south cinema even before it became a trend like it is now.
She started her career in the south and has a very good professional relationship with them especially the Tamil industry. Many have been super successful too, Jeans, the film with Mammootty,Robot even Raavan was a success down south.
Even when the Khan's and many biggies were not working with her at that time, she got plenty of work from the south.
