Says a source close to her, "Few people know that she is a fan of adventure sports and loves trying out new stuff all the time. So when she found out about the paragliding facility in Panchgani, she immediately made a plan to try it out.

And that's not all. Apparently, she hires a cycle in the evenings after the day's shoot to go cycling on a unique trail made especially for cyclists.

She tries not to miss out on her cycling as it's an easy form of exercise." Now that's what we call going the Salman way to keep oneself fit! (less)

According to industry sources, south actor Asin was one of the earliest choices for the Hindi version, which will be helmed by director Lingusamy. But she allegedly did not take kindly to this.

It is rumoured that Asin was fuming and sources close to her have supposedly said that at a time when she is acting with the likes of Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan , there is no need for her to do a film with Shahid. She was also apparently not keen on playing sister to another actor (the Tamil film had Sameera Reddy and Amala Paul playing sisters).

As for Asin's latest release, critics allege that her role was as short as her choli in the film. Considering that she has acted in south films in which she had equal footage as the hero and was numero uno at one time, her choice of recent Hindi films has come under fire.

Says a Kollywood industry source, "It's sad that she's been reduced to doing such roles with smaller actors like Jacqueline Fernandez and Zarine Khan . Considering she gave up her successful career in the south to focus on Bollywood, it's not like there's a queue of producers waiting to sign her on.

Wish she'd make better choices!" Despite several attempts, at the time of going to press, Asin remained unavailable for comment (less)

"I like all sorts of film genres. Its sheer co-incidence that three of my films are comedies.

But they have been a lot of fun..

. they have had a good set of actors, good directors.

..

I like comedies, and I don't mind doing more," Asin said. "I just take what comes my way and if I like it.

I hope Housefull 2 is well-received," she added. Housefull 2 , directed by Sajid Khan, will release April 5.

Yet you opted for the predictable. l Well, in Bollywood, a filmmaker has to think of casting a heroine like me in a project with a strong script.

It's not a one-man show here. So far I think Bollywood films have given me a great platform.

The stakes are higher in B-Town, so, I can't afford to wait for subject-oriented roles forever. So far your two big hits have two Khans -Aamir and Salman - in the lead roles.

I don't mind sharing my success with a super star or an entire ensemble cast. I have no qualms being part of a film that has super stars.

Films are commercially viable when you work with a superstar. That's why I did London Dreams and Ready.

If film buffs want to see the Khans in a film and the leading lady in a slightly less significant role then I have no problems there. You've worked with Salman Khan twice.

How's your equation with him? There were rumours that he was recommending you to filmmakers. Salman is very, very fond of me.

He is extremely chilled out and a great friend. My comfort level with him is reflected on screen because I understand his sense of humour.

He appreciates the fact that I don't misunderstand him. You were once very close to Neil Nitin Mukesh who you once termed as a 4 am friend.

What went wrong between the two of you? I don't get into any catfights with any of my colleagues. I want to keep a healthy work vibe with them, so I constantly message my women colleagues to keep in touch with them even after our film has wrapped up.

I also share a great rapport with Mithunda to John, Akshay , Ritesh , Johnny Lever . But Neil is not my friend at all.

I hardly know him. I've met Neil only twice.

Your father is supportive about your career and has a say in your personal life as well. I am an only child, so not only my father even my mother is also very supportive of my career.

However, my father is not a part of script narrations, shootings, promotional tours. He sometimes even does not know which movie script I have said 'yes' to.

He does not take a call on my personal decisions. So whoever thinks this has got their facts wrong! (less)

Not many know this, but the actress has a long-standing association with Sajid Khan. In fact, Asin was approached for the first installment of the movie, 'Housefull'.

But unfortunately the actor could not accommodate the movie due to date issues. "Despite not being able to accommodate dates for the film, director Sajid Khan was keen for Asin to do the hit dance number 'Dhanno' from the same movie.

But that too didn't work out as she was busy with another film. That's when Jacqueline Fernandez was roped in for the same," says a source.

However, when the team of 'Housefull' decided to make a sequel to the super hit flick, Asin was roped in for the movie and this time around, they found the perfect opportunity to work together. The actor will be seen sharing screen space with a stellar star-cast of Akshay Kumar , John Abraham , Riteish Deshmukh, Shreyas Talpade , Rishi Kapoor , Randhir Kapoor, Mithun Chakraborty , Boman Irani and Zarine Khan among others (less)

And the ladies in the firing line are Kareena Kapoor , Deepika Padukone and Asin Thottumkal . Culprit No 1 Kareena Kapoor Initially we heard that Kareena had signed the film.

But the latest buzz is that she is no longer doing Chennai Express as her dates are clashing with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's next opposite Ranveer Singh. Rohit clarifies, "Though I have often mentioned that Kareena is my favourite actress and that I would love to have her in the film, the fact is that we haven't approached her nor have we finalised any other actress.

We will finalise that by April. In fact, I haven't met Kareena for nearly five months now.

" Culprit No 2 Asin Thottumkal In a recent interview, Asin claimed that she had signed Rohit's film. Once again the director clarifies, "I am currently shooting for Bol Bachchan in Panchgani, and my sister sends me all the story clippings of the actresses we have presumably signed.

Every day, I hear a new name. Even Shah Rukh is as confused as I am!" Culprit No 3 Deepika Padukone The newest buzz is that Deepika is working out her dates to sign on Chennai Express with SRK.

Rohit clarifies, "I got a call from someone a while ago asking if I had signed Deepika. I want to tell people to please stop this circus! I have a film to complete right now, so I want to focus on that.

Till I return from Panchgani, I won't approach anyone. I don't know where these rumours are coming from.

In all probability, none of these actresses will be signed for the role. But yes, this is a performance-oriented role and we need a beautiful face, so we will definitely sign an established name.

Asin has learnt the 'Viennese Waltz', for a soap brand she endorses. We heard Asin has reportedly mastered the steps of the intricate dance in a remarkably short while! The actress was shooting in Wai for 'Bol Bachchan' and shot for the ad once she wrapped up her shoot.

The ad was directed by Harvey Brown who specially travelled to Wai for Asin's rehearsals. Asin would learn Waltz during the nights.

Her sheer hard work has surely paid off as those who have seen the Ad are all gung ho about the actress's dancing skills! The actress plans to further her Waltz training from now on (less)
