Journey from modelling to Bollywood was natural progression for me, says Asin Thottumkal

Soon after starting off her modelling career, the svelte lady from South India, Asin Thottumkal, shifted to the movie camera.

Having worked in a few South films, she made her Bollywood debut from the super duper hit, Ghajini – as an opposite star to the legend Aamir Khan.

Talking about his transition from a model to the silver screen actress, Asin shared that the journey was natural progression and she has been enjoying her work.

“People noticed and mentioned that I have a photogenic face and that I should try modelling. I was already participating in inter-school arts competitions etc. and so it wasn’t entirely unthinkable. I started modelling, but when I say modelling, I don’t
mean ramps or fashion shows; I got started in ad campaigns, print ads, magazine photo shoots, magazine covers etc.

“Modelling per se and then films were a sort of a natural progression after that since you start to get recognized by people around, by the audiences, by the industry folks; soon film offers started coming in,” she elaborated

After her recent successful flick Ready with the bad boy of Bollywood Salman Khan, Asin is currently engaged in many new projects. Her new flick ‘Housefull 2’ is on the production floors.

The 26-year-old Kerala beauty described that whenever she gets exhausted from so much work, she goes to her favourite place on the earth, her hometown Kochi.

She termed Kerala as an ideal place to visit, adding, “Ideally a trip to Kerala should be when you are looking for a break from your regular routine of fast-paced hectic life; you’d feel a calm settling in as soon as you step out of that flight!

“There is greenery everywhere you look; it’s beautiful and very scenic to say the least. And you have the whole gamut of options in Kerala – you have beaches, hill stations, backwaters, green paddy fields… Kochi is next to the sea, it’s a port – there is Ernakulam,
which is the main modern city, and there is old Kochi, also called Fort Kochi,” shared the South Indian lady who started working as a model at the age of 14.
