Remember Asin, the heroine of such blockbusters as 'Amma Nanna O Tamilammayi' and 'Ghajini'? She is in the news because she has proudly celebrated the first birth anniversary of her child.

Asin had fallen in love with Rahul Sharma, the owner of cellphone manufacturing giant Micromax and quit acting last year. Her first child, a girl baby, was born last October and her first birthday was celebrated last night as a grand event with many celebrities present.

Born in 1985, Asin hails from Kerala. She started out as a child artiste in Malayalam. When Puri Jagannadh spotted her and she won a Filmfare for her very debut as a heroine, Asin became a much sought-after actor right from 2003.

'Annavaram' opposite Pawan Kalyan, 'Sivamani' opposite Nagarjuna, 'Lakshmi Narasimha' opposite Balakrishna and 'Gharshana' opposite Venkatesh were her other major films in Telugu. In Tamil, Kamal Haasan's 'Dasavatharam' and Aamir Khan's 'Ghajini' in Hindi, among others, were her big non-Telugu projects.
