Rajinikanth proclaimed himself to be a true-blue Tamilian. I spent only the first 23 years of my life in Karnataka. For the last 44 years, I have grown up with you. With your love and support, you made me a Tamilian. My ancestors including my father are from Tamil Nadu. If you throw me out of Tamil Nadu I will not land in any other state. I will land on the Himalayas. If I can’t be with the Tamil people on this earth, I would rather be with the siddhars residing in Himalayas.

Rajinikanth said while addressing a large gathering of his fans here today that he had no desire to join politics, but if he did, he would show the door to all “money-minded” people. He said he had no political ambition, but was often dragged into political debates despite stressing that he was neither an influential political leader nor a social activist. Reacting to hostile comments against him on social media recently, the superstar welcomed it and stated that opposition is a basic necessity to grow in politics.

He said, my life is in the hands of God. I’m not sure what he has in store for me. But I’ll always perform the duty that he bestows on me. if I don’t enter politics,” he had told his fans.
