The actress is preferred in the industry for her perfect Indian looks and innocence, which is something critics feel is not found in Katrina, the reigning queen of Bollywood. The actress, who lost her foothold after her last film ‘London Dreams’ made no trace at the box-office, is now on the verge of recouping her spunk with her much awaited forthcoming release ‘Ready’.

Asin, who is still questioned about her acting abilities by critics after the damp squib, Vipul Shah’s London Dreams, seems to be lucky as she has landed a role opposite the King of Bollywood Shahrukh in an adaptation of Chetan Bhagat’s novel 'Two States'. Speaking about Asin, a trade analyst stated that the actress has always chosen roles of a young and bubbly girl by steering clear of sensual roles, which has certainly helped her retain her career in Bollywood and southern films. Salman calls Asin his dream girl:

During a recent media interaction, the most eligible bachelor of Bollywood Salman Khan, who is getting all set for his latest release ‘Ready’, was questioned about his dream girl.

The actor without much thought stated that it is Asin and also added, "In the film, I'm in search of a girl who is kamini+ khuddar. Lekin aaj kal aisi ladkiya milti kaha hai, sabki toh shaadi ho chuki hai (But these days we don't find such girls, they are already married).”And when the actor was fielded with the question about the girl he will marry, he just looked towards Asin and then started to smile. However, when Asin was asked about Salman, the actress made it clear that there is nothing going on between them.

Asin and Salman have become very close: Asin and Salman have become very close after working together in 'Ready’, and it’s also heard that apart from working in the film, these two apparently became good friends after working out together in the gym. Speaking about Asin and Salman, a source stated, "Asin and Salman have come very close since the time they started shooting in Sri Lanka and Thailand. It started when they spent hours not just working together but also working out together in the gym there.

"Asin first started asking Salman for some fitness tips. Soon, he turned into her fitness trainer. Apparently, there is also a scene in the film where both are working out together."Asin Thottumkal might not be the hottest and most phenomenal actress in Bollywood like Katrina and Kareena, however, this chica has been tagged as the most favored actress in the industry after sharing screen-space with superstars like Aamir and Salman.
