MUMBAI: Asin is unamused at media reports that have said that she is an avid meat eater.

“Hello,” says the Southern sensation, who is now a Bollywood hottie. “I do eat meat occasionally but on most days I have a simple vegetarian meal. When I’m home in Kerala, I cherish my fish curry and rice. However, to say I can’t do without meat even for a day is an exaggerated fact. I’m not carnivorous.”

Asin also clarifies that she wasn’t approached by PETA to be their ambassador, so reports that said that they changed their mind about her because they discovered her meat eating habits is also false. “Where do such reports come from?” asks Asin. Well, rumours and rejoinders are a part of the celebrity trail, aren’t they?
