Mini Biography:
Asin
was born in Cochin, Kerala,
India on the 26th of October
1981 in the Malayalam-speaking
Thottumkal family which consists
of her businessman dad, Joseph,
and mom, Dr. Seline, who
practices in Ernakulam. She
attended Naval Public School in
Cochin, and after obtaining her
Matriculation, was enrolled in
St. Theresa's Higher Secondary
School. After successfully
obtaining her Higher Secondary
School Certificate, she enrolled
in St. Theresa's College to
continue studying in the Arts
Faculty. After obtaining a
Degree in B.A. English
Literature, she assisted her dad
in his business (which includes
software, export of furniture
and antiques) and also took up
modeling on the side. Her
modeling assignments included
Colgate Toothpaste, and Fairever
Cream.
This exposure got her noticed
and she made her
debut
on the tinsel screen through
director Sathyan Anthikad's "Narendaran
Makan" with Malayalyee actor
Kunjachacko Boban.
After her initial success, she
was offered Telugu movies, and
warmly welcomed in the Telugu
film industry. It was a smooth
transition from Telugu to Tamil
with the film "M Kumaran s/o
Mahalakshmi". Asin starred in
the original Telugu version, so
she was the obvious choice for
the Tamil remake, opposite Jeyam
Ravi. The movie was a super hit.
What makes Asin hot in the Tamil
film industry, apart from her
looks, is that she has teamed up
with all the top heroes --
Vijay, Ajith, Surya and now
Vikram, in "Maja".
She speaks a wide range of
languages such as Malyalam,
Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Sanskrit,
English, French, and may well be
the only Indian actress with a
Blogspot in French. She is very
active in various functions
throughout Southern India, and
credits her good upbringing to
her parents, who she considers
her role models. She was the
winner of an entrepreneurial
award
as a teenager. She is fond of
reading and has a huge
collection of books.
Asin, along with her mom and
dad, have left their Harrington
Road apartment at Chetpet,
Chennai, and have re-located to
an apartment in Lokhandwala
Complex, in Andheri (West),
Mumbai, in order to enable her
to
debut
in Bollywood movies.
She has had a taste of success
at a very young age in Indian
regional movies, it remains to
be seen if her success will
continue in Bollywood also.
