Mumbai, Sep 23 (IANS) Actress Asin Thottumkal, who's lately been working round-the-clock, has been admitted to the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital here following an acute sinus condition.

The "Ghajini" fame actress was admitted Monday morning. She was taken to Kokilaben hospital because it's close to her home in Andheri.

Though the actress herself was unavailable for comment, her father, who was with her in the hospital, told IANS: "Yes she's in hospital. Nothing to worry about. All this is part of the process of my daughter's growing up."

Asin is expected to be out after treatment in a couple of days. But the news of her hospitalisation on Eid was being whispered behind closed doors. Some said she was admitted after suffering from acute exhaustion.

"Asin was admitted to the Dhirubhai hospital... not for exhaustion but an acute sinus condition. She had been neglecting the condition for quite some time now. But now the sinus situation had to be attended to. But she was in great spirits, her usual chirpy and friendly self singing even as her treatment was being done," said a source close to Asin.

Her condition got aggravated because of the night shooting for "London Dreams".

"She had no choice but to get into the hospital to have the condition treated. She waited until Eid when there was break from work," said the source.
