Asin Thottumkal…or is it?
Asin Thottumkal is an Indian film actress from the state of Kerala, and was born October 26, 1985. She made her acting debut in Sathyan Anthikkad’s Narendra Makan Jayakanthan Vaka (2001). Asin had her first commercial success with Amma Nanna O Tamila Ammayi in 2003, and won a Filmfare Award for the Best Telugu Actress for the film. After a number of films, she received her second South Filmfare Award for Best Actress for her performance in her second Tamil film, Ghajini (2005). She played the lead female roles in hits, the thriller Ghajini (2005) and the action comedy Varalaru (2006). More recently, Asin made her début in Bollywood, with Ghajini, the remake of its Tamil namesake, subsequently winning the Filmfare Best Female Debut Award Award.
Asin has a very serious problem. She has impersonators on all the major social-networking websites. “I was ready to overlook these fake IDs using my name as long as they weren’t harmful. But now the problem is getting out of hand.” The other night a colleague had a whole long conversation with ‘Asin’ and called up the next day to share her excitement about what an intimate conversation they had.
“I nearly fell off my chair. I won’t name this actress. But she said we shared our most intimate secrets on Facebook. I nearly fell of my chair and asked her who she shared her secrets with. Because it was most certainly not me. Two days ago a journalist came to interview me and said she got all the information on me from what I had written on Twitter. For the record I’m not on any of the social-networking websites. Apart from my own website I am not on the internet for any other purpose. I started blogging even before Aamir did in August 2005,” Asin declares proudly.
