With his new film ‘Kuli’ on the horizon and celebrating 50 years in cinema, Rajinikanth remains a prominent figure. However, his personal life, particularly his romantic relationships, has been kept largely private. The story of his feelings for Sridevi, a well-known Bollywood actress, offers a glimpse into a lesser-known chapter of his life.
In a past interview, filmmaker K. Balachander shared details of the superstar’s love life. Rajinikanth, who worked with many actresses, was deeply enamored with Sridevi. They acted together in nearly 19 films, and their on-screen pairing was much loved by audiences. During this period, Rajinikanth’s affection for Sridevi blossomed.
Balachander revealed that Rajinikanth had sincere feelings for Sridevi and wished to marry her. He had planned to propose during her housewarming. However, a peculiar incident altered his plans. Upon reaching Sridevi’s home, a power outage plunged the house into darkness. This event was interpreted by Rajinikanth as an unfavorable sign. Consequently, he chose not to propose and departed without revealing his feelings.
