What my heart says I will do: Asin

Asin arrived in Kollywood with a bang and then moved up in popularity with amazing deftness. She then announced her decision to shift to Bollywood at a time when she was the No. 1 actress in the South. After making waves in Hindi, she chose to return to return to Kollywood for the Vijay starrer ’Kaavalan’.

Asked about her interesting career moves, the actress said: "I was in Tamil when a film of mine was remade in Hindi. Then, a couple of interesting projects over there came my way, so I agreed to do them. Meanwhile, my latest film with Vijay too was offered to me and I found it to be a different venture which excited me.
So I returned here to do it as well. For me, the project is the criteria. Not the industry, not the language or the money! I don’t have a strategy when it comes to deciding the films I accept. I’m someone who goes by what my heart says and it’s worked for me. In fact, my decisions have gained me acceptance from different sets of audiences."

Also raided were the homes of their secretaries, their respective office premises and other locations, the official said.

The IT department is investigating whether the two actresses have paid taxes proportionate to their known sources of income during the past year.

Both Katrina and Priyanka are high ranking Bollywood actresses who work with top stars and leading film banners, besides endorsing top brands and participating in the major stage shows in India and abroad.

The raids are still continuing.

I want to thank my producer and Salman Khan: Sonakshi.

At a time when it has become pretty clear that actor-politico Shatrughan Sinha’s daughter Sonakshi is frontrunner for most awards in the country for best debut, the doting dad makes sure she never forgets one thing ever - and that’s to stay grounded!

“I feel proud to accompany my daughter on the stage when she’s receiving an award. I have always advised her to be level-headed and keep her feet on the ground,” says the doting father.

The newbie, on the other hand, admits that there couldn’t have been a better platform for making her debut on screen than Dabangg. “I want to thank Arbaaz Khan (producer) that he thought that I could fit into the role opposite Salman, and of course, director Abhinav (Sinha) for holding my hand and treating me like a younger sister while I was still learning the ropes of acting,” says Sonakshi.

But the actor is quick to add that the biggest contribution to her career in Bollywood will always be that of her co-starSalman Khan. “I am here because of Salman. He discovered and convinced me that I’m the one he’s looking for. I owe a lot to him and am glad now that he made me find the actor in me,” she adds.

Sonakshi, it is learned, plans to take to charitable causes in a big way, and is considering to take up the cause of promoting Women’s education in India.

“Sonakshi might associate herself in a bigger way with Wave, an NGO that is working towards the welfare of women from the lower stratum of the society. Wave works in close association with two other NGOs, Muskaan and Nanhi Kali for this whole endeavour, and is actively working towards garnering funds for them. They are currently working towards helping to build a school for the girl child, and it is expected that Sonakshi will be a part of the endeavour in a big way,” says a source.
