Bollywood’s simple yet stunning beauty, Asin & Rahul Sharma, co-founder of India’s homegrown smartphone manufacturer Micromax Mobiles are now man & wife. This reminds me of her debut “Ghajini”, especially the scene wherein she brags about her self-proclaimed relationship with the CEO of a telecom major. Rahul Sharma sounds so like Sanjay Singhania, doesn’t it? :P Well, nobody in the fraternity knew about this development until August last year.

And this is how it started:

Asin met Rahul on a private airport in Mumbai during ‘Housefull 2’ promotions. Akshay Kumar introduced him as a friend & she had no idea as who he was. She quoted, “My story is eerily similar to the story of my film Ghajini. Rahul and I first met at the private airport of Mumbai as I was going to another country for work with Akshay Kumar for the promotions of ‘Housefull 2’.

Now, I have just walked in and Akshay takes these early morning flights. So there was Akshay, me and this person who was just a stranger not connected to the film. So I wished everybody good morning and then there is this guy standing next to Akshay who he introduced me to as his friend Rahul. We exchanged ‘hi’s and went into the flight, she quoted.

Akshay played Cupid:

The very same day, Akshay tried getting them hitched. Here’s what he did, ‘I think you two will be good for each other.’ I was like, ‘What? Where is this coming from?’ Akshay is a very good friend, one of my favourite co-stars and can joke with me, so I thought this one was also one of his random jokes.”

Way forward:

Just a couple of phone calls and their love story progressed naturally as Rahul fell for her charm. “So after our first meeting, we had spoken a few times over the phone and then Rahul was somehow convinced that I was the girl for him, so on one of the times, he asked me if he could meet my parents. We had just spoken 2-3 times, that too thanks to Akshay.”

He Came He Saw He Conquered:

She continued, “Rahul came and met my parents and expressed his intention to them. He is very sorted and knows his mind clearly. And he tells them, ‘I would like your daughter’s hand in marriage.’ And they said, ‘Okay, but let’s ask her what she wants.’ I said, ‘I want some time.’ So with their permission, we started to get to know each other.”

Privacy over Secrecy:

Asin says her relationship is not a secret, it’s just private. She doesn’t believe in flaunting relationships or for that matter anything else. Here’s what her D-Day looked like:
