Asin’s father clarifies missing assistant issue

Earlier today, we had reported Sudalai Vadivu, a resident of Red Hills in Chennai lodging a report with the City Police Commissioner stating that her 23 year old son Muthukumar was missing. Muthukumar, a native of Tirunelveli, had been employed as a domestic help to Asin. The focus had thus shifted to Asin’s camp where the boy was supposed to have been when his mother last heard of him.

In wake of this issue, Asin’s father Joseph Thottumkal Asin Joseph Thottumkal spoke to Behindwoods over the phone from Mumbai to offer clear explanations of what has happened.

Joseph Thottumkal said that “The boy was first employed as a domestic help while Asin was in Chennai. When Asin shifted to Mumbai, he was also brought along as an assistant. But, he met with an accident and all his treatment expenses, which amounted to approximately Rs. 2.7 lakhs were taken care of. After recovering from the injuries, he told us that he wanted to go home as he was not comfortable in Mumbai. After settling all his dues, we relieved him and he left for Chennai, that was on January 21st. I have registered the information of his departure with the Mumbai police on February 8th. We have not heard anything more of him since then. However, recently, his mother had come to Mumbai saying that her son had not returned home. When we told her about what had happened, she returned to Chennai and subsequently filed a report with the police regarding her son’s missing status. Chennai police had called me today and I provided them with all the details about what had happened. They seem satisfied with the information that I have provided”.

After the above explanation offered by Joseph Thottumkal, let’s hope that the issue is resolved soon.

Asin’s Insecure Behaviour

We often hear the insecurities and cold wars between two actresses in Bollywood. And the actresses Asin and Jiah Khan are no exception to it. As the two actresses do not share the screen space for the film, sources says that both actresses have been making discreet inquiries about each other’s roles and clothes for the film.

Meanwhile, Asin’s security reached to extreme heights when she insisted to stay on the sets of Ghajini to see the shoot of Jiah’s song, even if she didn’t have to shoot for a single scene that day.

A source revealed, “At Filmistan, a song was being picturised on Jiah and Asin happened to be present on the sets as she had a costume trial. After the costume trials were done, everyone thought that Asin would leave the sets. However, she called up the assistant director and told him that she wanted to see the shoot of Jiah’s song. The assistant director was surprised but he did not argue with Asin. She sat through the entire shoot and noted the close-ups and the footage given to Jiah in the song.”

The source also revealed that Asin and Jiah didn’t even say ‘Hi’ to each other. The source later added, “This was the first time that Asin and Jiah came face to face. They should have at least exchanged pleasantries. Both literally looked through each other.”

And when asked whether Jiah was present on the sets when Asin was shooting, the source replied with laugh, “No, Jiah did not turn up during Asin’s shoot to pay her back in the same coin.”
