Even though Rajinikanth is one of the most popular actors now, he once admitted that he used to regularly consume mutton, beer, and cigarettes.
One of the biggest names in Indian cinema is superstar Rajinikanth. He has a significant fan base that extends beyond India. He is renowned for his distinctive fashion sense, charisma, and flamboyant demeanor. Even though he is currently one of the most popular performers, he faced many obstacles on his path to fame in the movie business.
The famous person previously admitted that he regularly consumed mutton, wine, and cigarettes while working as a bus conductor. His unhealthy habits were then further fueled when he entered the film industry.
The star was called to speak at a gathering organized by Rajinikanth’s brother-in-law, the actor-playwright YG Mahendra. He claimed that YG Mahendra is the sole reason he was able to meet his wife, Latha, and he is incredibly grateful to him for that. Additionally, describing his troubles with drinking and smoking
As per a report, Rajinikanth said, “What do I tell about YG Mahendra? He was the one who introduced me to Latha and got me married to her. I am 73 years old now, and the reason for my health is my wife. When I was a bus conductor, due to the friendship of some wrong guys, I had many bad habits. I used to eat mutton twice a day. I used to drink daily, and I don’t know how many cigarettes I smoked. After coming to the cinema, with money and fame, imagine how much these would have increased
Rajinikanth claimed that for a long time, he consistently adhered to the strictest diet plan. The modest actor also discussed his previous opinion about vegans. But what eventually changed him was Latha’s love for him and the right medical attention.
Daily morning, I wanted to eat mutton paya, appam, and chicken. I used to look down upon vegetarians. I used to wonder what they actually ate. Honestly, cigarettes, alcohol, and meat are a dangerous combination. Those who do all this without a limit have not lived healthily until 60. Many have faced so many health issues before they turned 60. There are many examples. Let’s not mention them. She (Latha) was the one who changed me with her love. With love and the right doctors, she changed me. Thanks to YG Mahendra for that,” the superstar said.
