Today Saturday Dec 12,2015, as Rajinikanth turns a year older, we tell you why the superstar
is a perennial source of inspiration for fans and casual observers
alike.
He is a self made man: Rajinikanth was not born with
a proverbial silver spoon in his mouth. On the contrary, he had to face
a lot of hardships during his formative years. The son of a Bangalore
based Marathi constable; he was soon forced to work as a coolie in order
to earn his daily bread. Thereafter, he tried to earn some extra money
by taking up the job of a bus conductor.
However, financial
stability still remained a distant dream for the man who would one day
earn in crores. Luckily, Rajinikanth never let these challenges break
his spirit and continued his search for a better future. As such, it
would be safe to say that the veteran star is the very personification
of fortitude.
Rajinikanth continues to stay humble: Rajinikanth
is someone who has clearly not let stardom or fame take a toll on his
humility. While over the years numerous stars—right from Anushka Shetty
to Alia Bhatt—have been floored by his warm and grounded ways, the most
definite proof of his down to earth nature was seen during the audio
launch of ‘Robot’. At the event, he cracked jokes at his expense and
thanked Aishwarya Rai for agreeing to work with him. Moreover, on
another occasion Rajinikanth remarked that he was a just a “small king”
compared to the ‘Shahenshah’ Amitabh Bachchan. Interestingly, the two
superstars have worked together in ‘Hum’, ‘Andhaa Kanoon’ and
‘Geraftar’.
A complete family man: It was in 1980
that Rajinikanth tied the knot with playback singer Latha, beginning a
new phase in life. Since then, the ‘Thalaiva’ has maintained a low
profile on the personal front. The father of noted filmmakers Aishwarya
and Soundarya, the actor rarely talks about his family life at public
events. As such, he has always tried to shield his family from constant
public scrutiny. Moreover, recent developments suggest that the
superstar is extremely close to his grandkids, In fact, some time ago he
asked the makers of ‘Lingaa’ to name the film after his grandson.
Rajinikanth is the textbook definition of unselfishness:
It was just a few days ago the Chennai was hit by a devastating flood
which brought life to a standstill. Pained by the death and destruction
caused by this calamity, he asked his fans to refrain from celebrating
his birthday and instead help the flood ishness: victims return to
normal life. These actions are strong proof of Rajinikanth’s unselfish
nature. These were also illustrated in 2002 when he offered financial
help to the makers of his ‘Baba’ when the film underperformed at the
ticket box office
