Asin Father Joseph Thottumkal in Hospital | Joseph Thottumkal Health News

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.

  As   her father prepares  to  go  under the knife for an appendectomy  ,for  the  first  time in her  life Asin  has to manage her  life  and career  without  her father.

To compound  her distress Asin's mother who's a doctor is also  spending  as  much time with  Josaph Thottumkal as possible, leaving Asin  with no choice  but to  fend for herself in the  house.

"My father  was in  pain for sometime.  He  tried to play it down,   took painkillers . But then it  got worse . And  we were unable to  go to my native place in Kerala  to   cast  my vote for the Lok Sabha elections .For  the  first time  in  my professional career I  found myself traveling alone  to Bangalore for a commitment.  It felt…. different.  But one has to manage. I'd like to  believe I'm quite a  capable girl."

Asin returned  from Bangalore  on Sunday and rushed straight to the  Kokilabhen Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital where her father had been admitted. "It's  quite near  to where we  live, yet seems so far away…."

Though she  puts   up a  brave  front  it isn't easy. "That's why he has been avoiding  getting  into the hospital. He felt if   he  was  off his feet  my work would suffer. But this time I'm determined to prove him wrong  .I'll continue  my work   in his absence. In fact I'm going to be  shooting for an ad today, Tuesday. Will I miss my dad? He has taught me to  be a strong girl."
