Rajinikanth Superstar Rajinikanth, who is worshipped like a god in South India, is celebrating his 73rd birthday today. Despite his age, Rajinikanth still plays lead roles in films and it is believed that his movies will be hits. The craze for him in the South is such that before the release of any of Rajinikanth's films, fans bathe his posters with milk and worship them. Not only this but to watch Rajinikanth's films, people stand outside the ticket window from 4 am in the morning. So today on the superstar's birthday, we also tell you about that special woman, who is the most important in Rajinikanth's life and without whom Rajinikanth considers himself incomplete. She is Rajinikanth's wife Lata. Rajinikanth loves Lata very much. Since marriage, Lata has been helping Rajinikanth in his work. Even both of them have supported each other in every difficult time. Their love story started in 1980 when Rajinikanth was shooting for Balachander's Tamil film 'Thillu Mallu'. This film was a remake of the 1979 Bollywood film 'Golmaal'. This was Rajinikanth's first comedy film. During the shooting of this film, Rajinikanth got a request for an interview. This request came from a college magazine. The girl who was coming to take the interview from the college was none other than Lata Rangachari. And then what, when Rajinikanth saw her for the first time, he fell in love with her at first sight. During the interview, both of them were very comfortable with each other, perhaps the reason for this was their Bangalore connection. As soon as the interview was over, Rajinikanth proposed Lata for marriage without thinking anything. Lata was surprised to hear Rajinikanth's proposal. But she was also very happy. Lata smilingly told Rajinikanth that she would have to talk to his parents for this. After this, both of them gave some time to each other. Rajinikanth told this to his close friend and Tamil cinema comedian YG Mahendran. Lata's sister was going to marry YG Mahendran. Rajinikanth was quite nervous about whether Lata's parents would agree to the marriage or not. But, both the parents agreed. After this, Rajinikanth and Lata got married on 26 February 1981 in the presence of family and friends.
