Asin opens up about her admiration for Salman Khan

There have been some stray rumours about Salman Khan’s equation with his Ready co-star Asin. It was even speculated that there was a subdued romance from Asin’s side. Now, Asin has opened up about her ‘feelings’ for Salman.

While appearing on Simi Garewal’s show ‘India's Most Desirable’, Asin said that though she admires Salman, she has never desired him romantically.

“I never saw him in that (romantic) light. For me he was somebody who I looked up to in a very respectful way, somebody that I admired. He is very attractive but that's not the way I saw or looked up to him as...so that never really crossed my mind...of desiring him,” said Asin.

The 25-year-old has worked with Salman in two films (London Dreams being the first one) and she recalls having some fun moments while shooting for Ready with Salman

“Salman actually challenged me to eat a bug that he along with the crew had collected from a nearby jungle in Bangkok. They eat these creatures there. So he held it in his hand and asked me to eat it,” she revealed.

“And I am not the one to shy away from challenges. I ate it rather swallow it. Salman thought that I would yell, scream, throw a fit or get freaked out but I didn't. Instead, I ate it. So he didn't really get the reaction he expected,” Asin said.

Asin will be seen on Simi Garewal's show this Sunday.
