Being home (to God’s own country), though for a short while, has been a very pleasant experience for the ‘Ghajini’ girl Asin. The girl who took Bollywood by storm in her first film opposite Aamir Khan has come back to Kerala for a reason – to learn the ancient martial of the state, Kalaripayattu.

From day one she has become engrossed in the art that she has become the brand ambassador for it. Though Asin is learning the art of self-defense for a Tamil film, the actress feels learning Kalari has brought lots of insight in to her life and her daily routine that she will continue to devote time for the art for the rest of her life.

Speaking about the art, the actress is reported to have revealed that, though the art form requires lots of tedious postures her knowledge of classical dance has helped her a lot in easing the learning procedure.

Asin is also amazed at the amount of boys and girls who are coming forward to learn the art. She feels that more youngsters from other states too should come forward to learn this traditional art which is slowly fading out. Speaking on her routine while she is learning Kalari, Asin says her day begins at 6.30 in the morning where she learns the art from various gurus.

For this actress from the south, who does not favor partying and socialize, time is at hand to enrich life!

One tough girl Asin, ain’t she?
