I am very fond of Salman Khan: Asin

Actress Asin has earned the tag of being a Khan favourite, what with her making her debut with actor Aamir Khan with film Ghajini and later, actor Salman Khan with whom she’s working yet again in film Ready. Could whispers of a rumour between them be far behind? To which she responds, “ I don’t care,” defiantly adding, “These are figments of some nasty minds. As an actor you are linked up with almost every other actor.”

And what about her being Salman’s blue-eyed girl? “I am very fond of Salman,” gushes the actress. “He is a sweetheart. I was unwell while shooting for Ready in Sri Lanka and Thailand, and he would always remind me to take my medicines and also ensure that I have them in front of him. Salman is a very caring person. In fact at times, I wonder why he is called the bad boy of Bollywood.”

So is gossip about actor Neil Nitin Mukesh and her affair true? “Rubbish! Neil is a very good friend. We meet, have dinners and chat, that doesn’t mean we are going around. I guess these gossip mongers have forgotten about a term called ‘friend’. If I am seeing someone I will happily acknowledge it. Isn’t finding a great partner something to be happy about rather than hiding it?” she retorts.

Recently there were also reports of Asin being insecure about her position in Bollywood. “Insecure and me? Such stories make me  laugh. I am the last person on this earth to be insecure as an actor or as an individual. I am very happy and content in my space,” she says.
