Rajinikanth Wanted to Marry Sridevi, Planned To Confess Feelings At A Party
Last Updated: Rajinikanth once planned to tell Sridevi he loved her — until a blackout changed everything. The untold story behind the love story. Before ChaalBaaz and all the cinematic magic they created together, there was a quiet love story that never made it to the big screen — or anywhere else. It belonged to Rajinikanth, and it was never told until now. Long before Sridevi married producer Boney Kapoor, Rajinikanth reportedly had feelings for her. They weren't just a popular film pairing — they were a duo that worked in over a dozen films across languages, lighting up screens with natural chemistry. But off-screen, things were more complicated. According to filmmaker K. Balachander, who launched both their careers, Rajinikanth once planned to confess his feelings at Sridevi's housewarming party. He arrived ready to tell her. Then, the lights went out — literally. The house was plunged into darkness. Being superstitious, Rajinikanth took it as a sign to walk away. And he did. Without saying a word. He never brought it up again. Their journey started in 1976 on the set of Moondru Mudichu. Sridevi was just 13, playing Rajinikanth's stepmother. It was her first lead role and his breakout performance in Tamil cinema. Over time, they developed a bond of mutual respect — something deeper than just co-stars. Rajinikanth remained close to her family, especially her mother. Years later, when Rajinikanth fell seriously ill while shooting Rana, Sridevi reportedly fasted and prayed for his recovery. Seven days. Quietly, privately — the same way their story had always been. In 1996, she married someone else. And Rajinikanth never said a word about the love he once carried. Sridevi married producer Boney Kapoor in 1996, and the couple had two daughters — Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor. Janhvi followed her mother's path into acting, while Khushi also recently entered the film industry. Sridevi's sudden passing in February 2018 at the age of 54 shocked the entire nation. She died of accidental drowning in a hotel bathtub in Dubai, where she had travelled for a family wedding. Her death was widely mourned across India, with tributes pouring in from fans, celebrities, and political leaders alike. Rajinikanth, meanwhile, married Latha Rajinikanth in 1981. They have two daughters — Aishwarya Rajinikanth, a filmmaker, and Soundarya Rajinikanth, who works as a producer and graphic designer.
