Thalaivar Breaks Silence On Daughter Aishwarya's "Rajinikanth Not Sanghi" Comment
Rajinikanth has finally broken his silence about daughter Aishwarya Rajinikanth's recent statement where she defended her father.
Actor Rajinikanth, who was last seen in 'Jailer', has finally broken his silence about daughter Aishwarya Rajinikanth's recent statement where the latter defended her father. For the unversed, Aishwarya had spoken about her father being called "sanghi" by a section of people after he met Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. In the latest entertainment news, Rajinikanth has finally defended Aishwarya's comment, saying his daughter did not use the "sanghi" word in a bad sense.
"My daughter (Aishwarya Rajinikanth) never said that Sanghi [the term] was a bad word. She only questioned why her father was being branded that way, when he is into spirituality," said Rajinikanth, as reported by Hindustan Times.
Earlier, Aishwarya had recently addressed those who have been calling her father as 'Sanghi'. She was speaking about her film 'Laal Salaam' at the film's audio launch event.
“I’d like to make it clear here, Rajinikanth is not a Sanghi. If he was, he wouldn’t have done a film like Lal Salaam," she said.
"I generally stay away from social media, but my team often tells me what’s happening and keep showing some posts. I used to get angry seeing them. We’re human beings too. In recent times, many people call my father a Sanghi. I didn’t know what it meant. I then asked someone what was the meaning of Sanghi and they said that people, who support a particular political party are called Sanghi," she added.
For the unversed, Rajinikanth will be next seen in an extended cameo in 'Laal Salaam', where his character is named Moideen Bhai.
The movie stars Vishnu Vishal and Vikrant in leading roles. With this movie, Aishwarya is returning to direction after a gap of seven years.
Aishwarya’s last directorial was the Tamil action-thriller 'Vai Raja Vai', which also featured her ex-husband Dhanush in a cameo.
