RajnikantWhat Rajnikant cherishes the most

He might have earned millions for essaying various roles in reel life, but Tamil superstar Rajnikant cherishes most a Rs 10 note that a disguise in real life fetched him recently.

The superstar, who visited a temple in Bangalore in the guise of a humble old man, was mistaken for a beggar by a woman, who gave him Rs 10.




This amusing anecdote has been mentioned in the actor's recently released biography 'The Name is Rajnikant,' authored by city-based ophthalmologist Gayathri Sreekanth.

After his latest blockbuster movie ' Sivaji -- The Boss,' which kept cash registers ringing not only in India but also abroad, Rajnikant suddenly wanted to visit a temple much to the bewilderment of his friend.

When cautioned that there would be a stampede in the temple, given his immense popularity, Rajnikant stood his ground, saying he would go in disguise, the book said.

Pulling out a dental prosthesis from his kit, he got into action. Within a few minutes, Rajnikant, reportedly the highest paid actor in the sub-continent next to Jackie Chan in the whole of Asia, was dressed in a crumpled shirt and a simple lungi, with a thick brown shawl covering his head.

When the incensed friend wanted to know how a man worth millions could come out like a beggar, Rajnikant said, " I like my freedom. No one can confine me in a golden cage."
