The marriage of Asin with Rahul Sharma came as a surprise to everyone.In an interview given to a top news paper she opened up for the first time on her relationship. Asin says 'Rahul and I have been together for almost four years. I will get married by the end of the year'.

On a question on how she met Rahul, she said that her 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. He was very simple and down-to-earth and that quality stuck with me.' It was his co-star Akshay kumar who was instrumental in paving a way to both of them. He introduced her to Rahul and told her that 'I think you two will be good for each other'. Asin thought is as a joke as 'Akshay is family for us and somehow, has a good sense of people so he sensed that similarity between Rahul and me'.

She is now very much in love and is impressed with Rahul. She is praising him throughout the interview as 'he is very selfless and outstandingly secure and I feel that's pure love, the rest is selfishness. He has no 'I' in him, it's all about 'You' with him. Throughout the relationship, his sole concern is my happiness.'He has clarity of thought, vision and an opinion. His decisions are thought of but he arrives at them quickly. Also, he is very family oriented with strong roots'.

On a question on whether she will continue acting post marriage she said 'I have been working from the age of 14 and as of now, I am not taking up anything and will definitely take a break from films'
