“Asin Is My Real Name”

May 27, 2009

With an unusual name, Asin has had people pronouncing her name in various ways and the actress is often amused by it.

People have even come up to her and asked her if that’s her real name. Asin says, “Asin means without sin.

It’s a mix of English and Sanskrit. And yes, it is my real name, not a screen name. You can give credit to my parents who came up with such an unusual name. It’s their creativity.”
