What everyone is talking about is Asin's overnight success in Bollywood and the way it all happened is as if it was scripted! What could be the secret of Asin's success? Though fortune (or fate?) is a major fact in cinema, the actress would surely reaffirm that it all happened not 'overnight', but only after several years of hard work and being at the right place at the right time! Anyway, Asin is basking in well-deserved success after Aamir Khan's Ghajini.

Asin's magic began to play after she was publicized as the heroine of four leading Tamil actors: Suriya, Vikram, Vijay and Ajith in Ghajini, Maja, Sivakasi and Varalaru respectively. Asin secured the Tamil Filmfare Award for Best Actress for Ghajini, considered to be the first breakthrough in her career. Asin later opted for a less hectic schedule, becoming choosier with her roles, rejecting several opportunities.

Her biggest landmark came with her first dual role in Kamal Haasan's magnum opus Dasavathaaram, for the portrayal of which she was praised as her "best-to-date". Since establishing herself as the leading actress in the South, Asin moved into Bollywood with Aamir Khan's Ghajini, a remake of Tamil Ghajini. The film garnered positive reactions from critics and masses alike, with Asin being presented three prestigious awards: Filmfare Best Hindi Debut Award, Star Screen Best Female Newcomer Award and Stardust Female Superstar of Tomorrow Award.

Asin means pure, without blemish! Just like her name means, she had maintained a very sparkling clean image when she was more of South. However, after her Bollywood debut, grapevine always manages to churn out something about the actress and her co-actor, especially London Dreams' guy Salman Khan. Asin has been linked with Salman ever since they joined hands for London Dreams. "Linking up co-stars is an outdated pre-publicity stunt for films. Salman is a chilled out guy, very supportive. We have a good professional rapport," Asin said recently.

Apart from Khan's London Dreams, Asin is committed to Bharat Bala's trilingual international project The 19th Step to be made in English, Japanese and Tamil with 'Ulaga Nayagan' Kamal Haasan, Japanese superstar Tadanobu Asano in the lead roles. With stunning offers in hand, it all looks like there is no turning back for Asin!
