Former Indian actress Asin is known for her roles in films such as ‘Ready’ opposite Salman Khan, ‘Ghajini’ opposite Aamir Khan and ‘Housefull 2’ opposite Akshay Kumar. In January 2016, she married entrepreneur Rahul Sharma, co-founder and CEO of Micromax. Asin then shocked everyone by quitting acting after her marriage. Curious about the man who inspired this dramatic exit? Read on to find out all the details.
Rahul Sharma’s path to success
Rahul Sharma, co-founder and CEO of Micromax, is a major player in the Indian mobile phone market. According to Forbes, DNA and various online sources, Sharma began his entrepreneurial journey in 2000 when he founded Micromax Informatics with his friends Rajesh Aggarwal, Vikas Jain and Sumeet Arora. As reported by Zee News, to start the venture, Sharma availed a loan of Rs 3 lakh from his father.
Initially operating as an IT software company, Micromax entered the mobile telecommunications industry in 2008 and in 2010 became widely known as one of India’s leading manufacturers of affordable phones. Notably, Micromax’s rise to prominence was highlighted by its partnership with Hollywood actor Hugh Jackman as brand ambassador.
Sharma has amassed considerable wealth, with Forbes and DNA estimating his net worth to be around Rs 1,300 crore. Sharma is a graduate in mechanical engineering from Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University and also holds a bachelor’s degree in commerce from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada. Apart from Micromax, Sharma’s business operations also include Revolt Intellicorp, India’s pioneering AI-powered electric bike launched in 2017.
Akshay Kumar plays the role of matchmaker for the couple
Bollywood star Akshay Kumar, who shared the screen with Asin in the hit comedy Housefull 2, played an unexpected role in her love story. According to DNA India reports, it was Kumar who introduced Asin to his “close friend” Rahul Sharma in 2012. Their wedding day passed quickly and Kumar stood by Asina’s side as her best man. Since tying the knot, Asin and Sharma’s relationship has grown into a pretty family with the addition of daughter Arin Rayn.
Rahul Sharma boasts of a lavish lifestyle
Rahul Sharma, an astute entrepreneur, boasts a luxurious lifestyle befitting his success. Reports by NDTV and The Statesman highlight his opulent abode, a palatial mansion located in the heart of Delhi. In addition to this impressive estate, Sharma’s collection of high-end cars complements his lavish lifestyle. His prized possessions include a Bentley Supersport Constrained Edition, a BMW X6, a Mercedes GL450 and a Rolls-Royce Ghost Series 2.
