Ghajini star Asin has been facing several problems. Her career not scaled the heights it should have post Ghajini, and she hasn't been able to find the right connections as far as Hindi cinema goes.
Recently Asin came in for more than her share of negative publicity. And the actress was truly rattled when news leaked that she had been dropped from a couple of projects that had her starring opposite John Abraham and Ranbir Kapoor.
Seeing how distraught she was, her father Joseph Thottumkal reportedly felt his daughter needed expert guidance. He is said to have entrusted her to the care of Bollywood producer Boney Kapoor and his wife Sridevi, who are not only well established in the Hindi film industry but also Asin's neighbours.
“Someone advised the Thottumkals that things would move more smoothly for the actress if she had a Godfather,” says a source. Asin, who has been shooting with Salman Khan in Colombo for the last fortnight, has been in touch with Boney and Sridevi on a daily basis, says a media report.
Asin's endorsements are still being looked after by Culture Company; but it is said that even here, the actress has reportedly been asking for a second opinion from her newly appointed God-parents.
It has been reported earlier that Asin is very close to Sri's daughters Jahnvi and Khushi. Asked if he and Sridevi had adopted Asin, Boney made light of the situation by saying, “Ha, ha, at this point I need to help myself.”However, Asin said, “I have grown very close to Sridevi. While I don't think of her as my Godmother, I'm very dependent on her. She is my emotional anchor.”
