Asin Thottumkal, the actress who gained recognition in Bollywood through Aamir Khan’s film ‘Ghajini’, is currently staying away from the film industry. Asin celebrates her 41st birthday on October 26th. She focuses intently on raising her daughter, Arin Rayn Sharma. Her husband, Micromax co-founder Rahul Sharma, revealed in an interview that their daughter has, thus far, been kept away from television and mobile phones. Books are given a special place in their home. Rahul also praised Asin’s role in their daughter’s upbringing.

1. Keeping their daughter away from TV and mobile phones
Nowadays, even very young children spend a significant amount of time on mobile phones and television—watching videos or playing games. However, Asin and Rahul Sharma have chosen a different approach for their daughter. In a conversation with MyGov India, Rahul shared that their daughter has not been introduced to the habit of using television or mobile devices. They believe that children should have the opportunity to spend their time reading books and engaging in other activities.

2. An abundance of books at home
Rahul Sharma mentioned that their home is filled with books—in fact, there might even be more books at home than there are at their daughter’s school. Although Arin is in the second grade, their home contains books intended for the eighth and ninth grades. Rahul jokingly remarked that with so many books available, they might as well have their daughter take the tenth-grade examinations! This highlights the high value the family places on reading and learning new things.

3. Their daughter’s interest in multiple languages
In the interview, Rahul shared that his daughter has an interest in about 12 different languages, including Korean, Japanese, Thai, and Chinese—a fact that even surprised him. Telling stories, reading books, and introducing children to new languages ​​can significantly aid their learning process, providing them with opportunities to discover and understand new concepts.

4. Asin’s significant contribution to raising their daughter
Rahul Sharma has described Asin as a pillar of strength in his life. He noted that she bolsters his morale during difficult times and is always by his side. Rahul also praised Asin’s contribution to raising their daughter. Asin married Rahul Sharma in 2016, and their daughter, Arin, was born in October 2017. Following her marriage, Asin stepped away from the film industry to focus on her family.

5. Why is a healthy environment important for children?
Every family has its own unique approach to raising children. However, providing children with opportunities to read books, listen to stories, and spend quality time with their family can be highly beneficial. Parents can encourage their children to explore and learn new things. It is also important to limit their screen time—on mobile devices and television—in accordance with their age. The World Health Organization (WHO) advises limiting screen time for young children. Beyond academics, children should also be given time for play, rest, and other engaging activities.
