Rajinikanth, a celebrity who needs no introduction, recently discussed his personal life in an interview. Even though the megastar rarely discusses his life, he disclosed an undiscovered story of how he had been impacted by bad company. He also discussed how his wife Latha supported and corrected his behaviors over time with her love.
Rajinikanth shared his early days with his brother-in-law, the actor-comedian Y G Mahendran, in an interview with a Tamil newspaper. Mahendran told how he connected Rajini to his wife Latha. The megastar expressed gratitude for his kindness before talking about his past and how bad habits affected him. He said, “When I was a bus conductor, due to the friendship of some wrong guys, I had many bad habits. I used to eat mutton twice a day. I used to drink daily, and I don’t know how many cigarettes I smoked. After coming to the cinema, with money and fame, imagine how much these would have increased.”
He added, “Daily morning I wanted to eat mutton paya, appam, and chicken. I used to look down upon vegetarians. I used to wonder what they actually ate. Honestly, cigarettes, alcohol, and meat are a dangerous combination. Those who do all this without a limit, have not lived healthily even till 60. Many have faced so many health issues before they turned 60. There are many examples. Let’s not mention them”.
He thanked YG Mahendran, saying, “He got me married to her. I am 73 years old now, and the reason for my health is my wife.” He added, “She was the one who changed me with her love. With love and the right doctors, she changed me. Thanks to YG Mahendra for that.”
Rajinikanth is preparing for the release of Jailer, which will also star Kannada actor Shivarajkumar. The movie is directed by Nelson Dilipkumar. It is also anticipated to star Trisha Krishnan, Priyanka Mohan, and Ramya Krishnan.
