Bollywood is not for everyone. Some realize it sooner and tread different paths to make different achievements in life, while others keep trying till the industry throws them off.

In this giant rigmarole of realizations and refusals, we have seen many of our loved celebs fading out into oblivion, leaving us wondering, “where are they, how are they...”

We are, hence, starting this “Missing Reports” series where we dig deep into the untold stories of such missing stars. Today we are covering Ghajini girl, Asin.

We have also covered missing reports on Mayuri Kango, Anu Aggarwal, Amrita Rao, and Meenakshi Seshadri, Antara Mali, Harman Baweja, Sneha Ullal, Sushmita Sen, Gayatri Joshi, Giselli Monteiro, Tanisha Mukerjee, Sandili Sinha, Gracy Singh and Fardeen Khan.
