Former Bollywood actress Asin, celebrated for her roles in hits like “Ready” with Salman Khan, “Ghajini” opposite Aamir Khan, and “Housefull 2” alongside Akshay Kumar, made headlines when she stepped away from the film industry after her marriage in January 2016. Her husband, Rahul Sharma, is a prominent figure in the tech world, co-founding and leading Micromax, one of India’s largest mobile phone manufacturers.
The Rise of Rahul Sharma and Micromax
Rahul Sharma launched Micromax Informatics in 2000 with his friends Rajesh Aggarwal, Vikas Jain, and Sumeet Arora, initially as an IT software company. By 2008, they pivoted to the mobile phone business, quickly becoming a leader in the low-cost phone segment in India. By 2010, Micromax was a household name, bolstered by high-profile endorsements like Hugh Jackman. According to Forbes and DNA India, Sharma’s entrepreneurial journey, which began with a Rs 3 lakh loan from his father, has led him to amass a staggering net worth of Rs 1,300 crore.
Educational Background and Ventures
Rahul Sharma’s impressive educational credentials include a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University and a Bachelor’s degree in Commerce from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada. Beyond Micromax, he founded Revolt Intellicorp in 2017, pioneering India’s first AI-based electric bike, further cementing his status as a tech innovator.
Personal Life: A Star-Studded Connection
Asin’s connection to Rahul Sharma was facilitated by Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar, her co-star in “Housefull 2.” Akshay introduced Asin to his close friend Rahul in 2012 and later served as the best man at their wedding. The couple now enjoys a private life with their daughter, Arin Rayn.
Luxurious Lifestyle
Rahul Sharma and Asin live a life of luxury, owning a sprawling farmhouse in Delhi. Their impressive car collection includes a Bentley Supersport Limited Edition, BMW X6, Mercedes GL450, and Rolls-Royce Ghost Series 2. Their lifestyle, as highlighted by NDTV and The Statesman, reflects their substantial wealth and high-profile status.
