Happy Birthday Asin: Most quotable quotes

Asin Thottumkal is one of the leading actresses in the Hindi film industry with three of her films - Ready, Ghajini and Housefull 2 making it to the hundred crore club. Asin made her debut opposite Aamir Khan in Ghajini and since then has never looked back. This actress from South has also ruled Kollywood for over five consecutive years with back to back hits. Known as the 'Pride of South Indian Cinema', Asin turns a year older today. On her birthday, let's take a look at some of her most popular and memorable quotes.

I’d never go under the knife- In an interview with Filmfare, Asin was asked to share her views on doing cosmetic surgeries to enhance one's look. The actress had replied, "It’s an individual choice and I’m not judgmental about it. But personally, I’d never go under the knife. I keep away even from medicines. I’m happy the way I am. I’d rather avoid anything artificial. I’d prefer aging gracefully. I am pretty content with my looks."

Aamir — dedicated, Shah Rukh — charming, Salman —relaxed, Akshay — active
In an interview with the Times of India, Asin spoke about the three Khans of Bollywood and her rapport with them. Describing each one of them in a word, she said Aamir was dedicated, Shah Rukh Khan was charming and Salman Khan was relaxed, adding that Akshay Kumar was active. Talking about the link up rumours with Salman Khan during the shoot of 'London Dreams' she said, "Even justifying it has become a big joke! Linking up co-stars is an outdated pre-publicity stunt for films. Salman's a chilled out guy, very supportive. We have a good professional rapport."

I am quite like Aamir Khan- On being asked how was it working with Aamir Khan in Ghajini, Asin had said, "Aamir is curious and has childlike interest in his work. He likes to clarify and understand everything and is so focused in spite of his level of stardom. He is always trying to push the limits. He has patience and likes to take inputs from anybody and if it is a valid suggestion he will incorporate it. While he will let his director take the final call, he has an intelligent view and will always express it. I am quite like him and have his working style in me. People who work with me say that I am also curious and ask a lot of questions. Like Aamir, I want to be sure of what I want to say within a certain number of words and try and say it sharply. Like him, I am totally focused on my work."

I would never have a one night stand-In an interview with Filmfare, Asin came clean on her views on one night stands. Without mincing her words, she had said, "I would never have a night stand. I wouldn’t act on the basis of pure physical attraction or temporary satisfaction. Any relation requires emotional investment. I wouldn’t even entertain the thought." Asin had also revealed that she went on her first date only after she turned 25.

I want to work with younger actors of my generation- After her blockbuster debut in Bollywood, Asin went on to do films with the famous actors in B-town. Though these films made it to the 100 crore club, at heart she wished she could work with co- stars her age. In an interview with the Times of India, Asin had said, "There is a perception that I had taken the decision to work with big stars which is not true. After Ghajini, big films came my way and I took them, but it is not that I am only wanting to work with them. I would love to work with younger actors who are closer to my generation. I am too young to say no."

Salman is very, very fond of me- On being asked about her rapport with Salman Khan, the actress had a very sweet answer. Asin was quoted saying, "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."
