In a 2025 interview with MyGov India, Rahul spoke about his marriage to Asin , her role in their family and the way she approaches their daughter’s upbringing. Arin is currently in Class 2, but her parents have already collected books intended for much older students. “She is in Class 2 right now, but we already have books for Classes 8 and 9 at home.
Therefore, no TVs or mobile phones. Rahul said the couple have not introduced screens into Arin’s life so far.
Their home has no television, and Arin has not been given access to mobile phones or other screens, according to Rahul. He credited his wife with much of the work that goes into raising Arin and said their home environment reflects her contribution. We probably have more books at home than Arin has at her school,” he said. Rahul said that while he faces challenges outside the home, Asin takes care of the challenges within their family. I have never seen a person like her in my life,” he said.
Actor Asin Thottumkal and her husband, Micromax co-founder Rahul Sharma , have taken a screen-free approach to raising their eight-year-old daughter, Arin Rayn Sharma. Instead, books occupy a central place in her childhood, with the family keeping reading material well beyond her current school level. “We have not given Arin any screens thus far. We only have books at home. For parents, the family’s approach raises an interesting question: how much of a child’s everyday environment is shaped by the habits and choices adults make at home? In Arin’s case, Rahul’s account places books and language learning at the centre of family life. “You are not just fighting a war outside, but you also have to face a similar one within your home, right? She (Asin) is the one who takes care of the latter [in our home].
