Asin Thottumkal: 'I bitch with my female co-stars'

Asin Thottumkal has admitted that she often moans about her schedule with other Bollywood stars.

The actress will next be seen advising feuding friends on the celebrity agony aunt show Superstar Santa.

Thottumkal told Hindustan Times: "It's unbelievable, but including Sonam [Kapoor], I have ten of my contemporaries on my phone's chat list. We speak at random hours. We don't discuss clothes, make-up and boys.

"But we share jokes, we whine about our gruelling travel and shoot schedules and admit to each other when we indulge in some sinful food like a cheese pizza or a chocolate sundae. So, heroines can be friends."

Thottumkal added that she is good friends with the older actress Tabu, who will next be seen in Ang Lee's adaptation of bestseller Life of Pi.

"She sends across the most amazing biryanis, and I never forget to send her chocolates and cakes. Tabu is one of the most beautiful persons I know. I liked her work on screen when I was younger. And now, I adore her as a friend," she said.

In April, the star revealed that she had based her character in Salman Khan's Ready on Bollywood legend Madhuri Dixit.
