Asin- The brand ambassador for Tata Sky

Asin was on a house boat in Punnamada Lake in Alapuzha, one of the top holiday destinations in Kerala, where the annual Nehru Trophy boat race happens.
The cherubic actress was not holidaying there but instead shooting an ad for Tanishq for which she is the brand ambassador (see pic).
For Asin, it was a sort of home coming as she was continuously shooting in various parts of the globe for the last one year. The lush green areas surrounded by paddy fields and stretches of coconut palm groves was indeed a welcome change for the actress who got a chance to be away from the hustle bustle of city life.

Asin stayed in Alapuzha for two days before she is flying back to Mumbai via Chennai to attend another press meet arranged by Cavin Kare. And the big news is that she has signed her eighth endorsement deal with Tata Sky DTH for which she will be shooting an ad commercial with Aamir Khan.
The buzz is that Asin has been signed up by Tata Sky for a record endorsement deal as they want to cash in on the hype and hoopla around the Ghajini pair coinciding with the release of the film on December 25.
