Asin has definitely made her presence felt in a big way with the release of Ghajini. But the actress feels she deserves more than a mere recognition, given her performance in the film. The lady attributes her lack of proper lack of recognition to Aamir Khan’s dictatorial terms that she should not interact with the media until the film releases. Though Asin had agreed to this in the beginning, she realized that this was a big mistake later on. To add to Asin’s misery, all the publicity stills that were released to the media consisted of Aamir only. Sidelined by the actor and the producers, the lady had insisted to Vipul Shah, the director of London Dreams, that she be allowed to talk to the media when she wished or she would terminate the contract. Asin’s father, Joseph Tottumkal who is also her manager, says that she is merely demanding for the right to freedom of speech.

Success has many pitfalls. Asin who has reached dizzy heights after the mega success of Ghajini is in the news for the wrong reasons.

A 55-year-old woman Sudalaivadivu has approached the Chennai city police commissioner alleging that her son Nallamuthu Kumaraswamy (23), who had worked as the touchup boy of Asin has gone missing. Asin told “He came to Mumbai as a touch boy. Later he met with an accident and all his treatment expenses, which amounted to a few lakhs were taken care by us. We also brought his mother down to Mumbai to look after him and after recovery, he said that he wanted to go back to Chennai and start some business”.

Continues Asin: “On January 21, he voluntarily resigned. All his dues were settled and he left for Chennai. My dad has registered this information of his resignation with the Oshiwara police station and produced the vouchers that all his payments were settled which a regular procedure in Mumbai”. However, a source close to Nallamuthu Kumaraswamy in Tirunelveli states that he had started a business in partnership with a friend that incurred huge losses. And realizing that he could not cough up the money, by working with Asin, he left the job. This is not the first time that top actors are targeted by their staff who wants to grab some media attention by making false allegations.

In the case of Asin, the biggest mistake they did was to take the staff they had in Chennai with them when they shifted to Mumbai. Remember that earlier, a lady from Chennai had made accusations that Asin was forcedly keeping her daughter as domestic help against her will, which was sorted out when the girl herself gave her statement against her mother claiming that she was happy working with Asin.
