The
heroine
of
many
100
crore
superstar
films,
Asin
Thottumkal,
is
in
news
for
her
philanthropic
works
for
quite
sometime.
Now,
the
Ghajini
girl
received
an
honour
from
the
Government
of
Kerala
as
a
recognition
for
her
activities
in
that
direction.
A
source
close
to
Asin
says,
"For
more
than
five
years
now,
Asin
has
been
funding
the
education
of
many
girls
from
Kerala
and
she
has
given
her
word
to
the
orphanage
that
she
will
provide
all
the
financial
support
to
ensure
that
those
young
girls
complete
their
studies.
Asin
wants
to
support
them
in
every
possible
way
and
even
visits
them
whenever
possible."
Asin
was
felicitated
lately
by
Kerala
Government
and
made
her
the
face
of
the
state's
women
empowerment
programme.
A
person
close
to
Asin
reveals,
"Asin
doesn't
discuss
her
social
work
openly
as
she
doesn't
want
people
to
think
of
it
as
a
publicity
stunt."
Asin,
in
an
interview
with
a
leading
website,
emphasized
the
need
of
reaching
out
to
under
privileged
children,
especially
girls.
She
added,
"I
have
worked
closely
with
these
children
and
I
know
that
if
given
the
right
opportunity,
women
can
educate
themselves
and
know
what
is
wrong
or
right
for
them.
Education
is
a
basic
right
and
women
should
not
be
deprived
of
that."
