Rajinikanth is currently in the spotlight for his upcoming film ‘Kuli,’ set to release on August 14th. This year also marks his 50th year in the film industry. While his films have consistently been a topic of discussion, his love life has remained relatively private. The story of his romantic interest in actress Sridevi, and the unfulfilled proposal, is a lesser-known aspect of his life.
In an old interview, filmmaker K. Balachander revealed details about the megastar’s love life. Rajinikanth worked with many actresses, but he was captivated by Sridevi. They acted together in approximately 19 films, and their on-screen chemistry was well-received by audiences. It was during these films that Rajinikanth’s feelings for Sridevi grew.
According to Balachander, Rajinikanth was serious about his feelings for Sridevi. He even intended to propose marriage to her. He planned to go to Sridevi’s housewarming and propose to her at the event. However, an unexpected incident led him to change his mind. As he arrived at the actress’s house, the power went out, plunging the house into darkness. Rajinikanth interpreted this as a bad omen and decided not to confess his feelings. He left without proposing.
