Women | Salman Khan | ritesh | Neil Nitin Mukesh | Johnny Lever | John | Bollywood actress | Bollywood | Asin Thottumkal | Asin | akshay SHARE AND DISCUSS Tweet Asin More Pics Bollywood hottie Asin on her camaraderie with the two Khans, her father ruling her personal and professional life and more The politically correct Asin Thottumkal , who has always remained tight-lipped about her personal life, in a friendly chat with TOI clears the air about her parents' interference in her personal and professional life, her choice of films in Bollywood and her alleged romance with Neil Nitin Mukesh. Excerpts from an interview: After your Bollywood debut people thought that there was more to you than the typically song-dance roles. Yet you opted for the predictable. l Well, in Bollywood, a filmmaker has to think of casting a heroine like me in a project with a strong script.
It's not a one-man show here. So far I think Bollywood films have given me a great platform.
The stakes are higher in B-Town, so, I can't afford to wait for subject-oriented roles forever. So far your two big hits have two Khans -Aamir and Salman - in the lead roles.
I don't mind sharing my success with a super star or an entire ensemble cast. I have no qualms being part of a film that has super stars.
Films are commercially viable when you work with a superstar. That's why I did London Dreams and Ready.
If film buffs want to see the Khans in a film and the leading lady in a slightly less significant role then I have no problems there. You've worked with Salman Khan twice.
How's your equation with him? There were rumours that he was recommending you to filmmakers. Salman is very, very fond of me.
He is extremely chilled out and a great friend. My comfort level with him is reflected on screen because I understand his sense of humour.
He appreciates the fact that I don't misunderstand him. You were once very close to Neil Nitin Mukesh who you once termed as a 4 am friend.
What went wrong between the two of you? I don't get into any catfights with any of my colleagues. I want to keep a healthy work vibe with them, so I constantly message my women colleagues to keep in touch with them even after our film has wrapped up.
I also share a great rapport with Mithunda to John, Akshay , Ritesh , Johnny Lever . But Neil is not my friend at all.
I hardly know him. I've met Neil only twice.
Your father is supportive about your career and has a say in your personal life as well. I am an only child, so not only my father even my mother is also very supportive of my career.
However, my father is not a part of script narrations, shootings, promotional tours. He sometimes even does not know which movie script I have said 'yes' to.
He does not take a call on my personal decisions. So whoever thinks this has got their facts wrong!
