Recently, we came across an adorable picture of the superstar with his wife who paid a sweet visit on the sets of his upcoming film, Darbar. However, the moment the picture found its way on the internet, it went viral into time and fans couldn’t get over their love for each other even after so many years. A few months ago, Rajinikanth completed his 44 years in the industry. Hashtag #44YrsOfUnmatchableRAJINISM was trending on Twitter to celebrate and congratulate the actor on this glorious day.
Not just the South film industry is in awe of this marvellous actor's craft, but in Hindi Cinema too he is treated as one of the best artistes that the industry is blessed with. So him being honoured with this coveted award is pretty deserving.
