Last week at an event held to launch World Cup official merchandise, Asin was far more interested in acquiring updates on Dhoni's performance at the Indian-South Africa match than in promotingu00a0theu00a0merchandise with cricketers Irfan Pathan andu00a0 Dinesh Karthik.
Says a source present at the event, "Asin kept talking to Karthik, enquiring about the score, specially Dhoni's, in Tamil. She didn't know that Irfan Pathan who was within ear-shot, speaks fluent Tamil. He quickly caught on to Asin's interest, and reprimanded her on being distracted."

"I wanted to watch the match rather than be up on stage. I was enquiring in Tamil about India's score. I am a cricket fan, not a fan of cricketers. I was enquiring about the team's score," clarifies Asin.u00a0
Apparently, Parthiv Patel, who was also present, scolded Asinu00a0and Karthik for going on and on in Tamil.
Asin agrees that Patel and Pathan cut into their conversation. "I was surprised to know Irfan speaks Tamil too," says the actress who earned the title 'captain' at the launch that day.
