This superstar was madly in love with Sridevi, 13 years older than him, even proposed to her for marriage, played role of her stepson; His name is...
You must have heard many stories about Sridevi's beauty and her love story with husband Boney Kapoor. But do you know about her lesser-known connection with a South Indian superstar, with whom she did several films? Let us tell you about this unique and heartwarming relationship. Sridevi and Rajinikanth worked together in many films. Their friendship and on-screen chemistry were well known. They first collaborated in 1976 in the Tamil romantic film Moondru Mudichu. At that time, they were both just 13 years old. Interestingly, Sridevi was not the heroine in Rajinikanth's film; she played the role of his stepmother. Later, the two went on to do 19 films together, across multiple languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada. It is said that during this time, Rajinikanth began to fall in love with Sridevi. He was also very close to her family. At one point, Rajinikanth wanted to express his feelings. He wished to marry 16-year-old Sridevi and was even planning to propose to her. He was about to speak to her mother about the relationship, but something happened that prevented the matter from moving forward. In an interview with filmmaker K. Balachander, Rajinikanth revealed that he had deep feelings for Sridevi. He even went to her house with a marriage proposal. He was about to ask her mother for Sridevi's hand in marriage when, suddenly, the lights went out and the house was plunged into darkness. When Rajinikanth visited Sridevi's home, he was warmly welcomed. A delicious meal was prepared, and he was treated with great respect. Just as he was about to express his feelings, the power went out. Taking it as an inauspicious sign, he decided to postpone the conversation, thinking he would choose a better time to talk about something so important. However, that moment never came. Rajinikanth never got the chance to confess his feelings. Years later, in 1996, Sridevi married Boney Kapoor. Another famous incident is that once Rajinikanth became very ill. Sridevi then kept a fast for seven days for Rajinikanth. There was a very strong bond between the two, which remained forever. When Sridevi passed away, Rajinikanth dropped everything to come and pay his respects. Rajinikanth is married to Lata Rajinikanth, and the couple tied the knot in 1981. Since then, they had always spent quality time together on their wedding anniversary. However, for the first time in 37 years, Rajinikanth broke this tradition. The year Sridevi died, he chose not to celebrate their anniversary.
