She started modeling at the age of 14 and is trained in Bharatnatyam and folk dance. She debuted into the movie world in 2001, in the Malayalam film "Narendaran Makan Jayakanthan Vaka" directed by Sathyan Anthikkad.

But the scenario changed with the release of 'M. Kumaran son of Mahalakshmi' which became one of the biggest hits in 2005. After that she was flooded with offers from well known directors and there was no looking back. Asin won the hearts of the Tamil audience with her captivating performance in the super hit movie 'Ghajini' (2005).
