Asin’s devoted dad refuses to get surgery done in spite of the acute pain. Joseph Thottumkal currently in hospital has been attending to all of his daughter’s business calls from the bed.

“He on drip. No food allowed. Na ghar ka na hospital ka…and still he’s constantly on the phone discussing and confirming my prior engagements. He’s very clear on one thing. Under no circumstance am I supposed to let any of my commitments suffer because of his hospitalization,” says the proud devoted emotional and slightly bereft but strong daughter unwilling to show her emotions.

Srinagar, Sept 12 : Thousands of protesters led by Muhammad Yasin Malik chairman of the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), clashed with police in Srinagar on Friday.

With posters of Malik in their hands, protesters shouted slogans against the Government.
