Asin plans to make her debut in Bollywood and is in the process of selecting a good project. Asin has also been involved in many charity programs, but hates getting media coverage for them as she believes in the saying, “If you do something from your right hand, even your left hand should not be able to sense it”.

Well, the humble actress sure likes to keep a low profile. The actress has also won the reputation of being humane and level-headed in the industry as her motto in life is, “Don’t let success get to your head and failure to your heart”. With an attitude like that Asin is sure going places.
