Last week South Indian Superstar Rajinikanth Had Met Uttar Pradesh CM
Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. He said hello to CM Yogi and then took his blessings by touching his feet.
Rajinikanth gifted a bouquet of flowers to Yogi Adityanath and both of them posed for pictures afterwards. But Rajinikanth started getting criticized a lot on social media for these pictures.
People said that Rajinikanth is much older than Yogi Adityanath in age but still he is touching his feet. Now Rajinikanth has responded to these criticisms.
Rajinikanth reached back to Chennai on Monday night. As soon as he landed here, he was first questioned about the controversy over touching the feet of the Chief Minister of UP.
In response to this, Rajinikanth has said that it is his habit to touch the feet of sanyasis and yogis, whatever be their age.
He said, “Be it a monk or a yogi, it is my habit to touch their feet, even if they are younger than me. That’s what I did.
Rajinikanth reached Uttar Pradesh last week for the screening of his film ‘Jailor’. He wanted to see this film with CM Yogi Adityanath but due to CM’s busyness it could not happen.
In Lucknow, he met CM Yogi Adityanath on Saturday.
As soon as he got down from the car, Rajinikanth said Namaste with folded hands and then touched the feet of Yogi Adityanath.
Reacting to the video, a user wrote, “Rajinikanth, who is older than Yogi Adityanath in both age and height, is touching his (Yogi) feet. Rajinikanth is 72 and Yogi is 51. A superstar.” Why is he touching the feet of a leader? He has lost all respect today.”
However, this is not the first time that Rajinikanth has come into the limelight for being close to BJP leaders.
In the year 2019, when Article 370 was removed from Jammu and Kashmir, he praised Amit Shah. He even compared Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah to Krishna-Arjuna.
Rajinikanth had said before the 2021 Tamil Nadu assembly elections that he would do ‘spiritual politics’. After this, the discussion about Rajinikanth’s proximity to BJP started intensifying.
Now his meeting with the BJP leader and the UP CM is also being seen in connection with the Lok Sabha elections to be held next year.
However, on the question related to this, Rajinikanth has said that he does not want to talk about politics. Rajinikanth also visited Ayodhya on Sunday. His wife Lata was also with him. Both of them also went to Hanumangarhi temple.
Coming out of here, Rajinikanth told the media, “My old dream of coming to Ayodhya has been fulfilled today.”
Rajinikanth also said that the Ram temple will look ‘grand’ when it is built.
Sharing a sarcastic cartoon, Congress leader Udit Raj wrote, “It seems that film star Rajinikanth has understood the wind’s direction that the next PM will be Yogi, only then he touched his feet and not Modi ji’s.”
When news agency ANI questioned Udit Raj on the answer given by Rajinikanth, he said, “There is also a debate that Yogi can be seen as the Prime Minister in the future. Otherwise it is a courtesy to Rajinikanth ji.” It was not seen for the Prime Minister. People are seeing a glimpse of the future PM in him (Yogi Adityanath), this is being discussed in the corridors.”
Some people compared Rajinikanth touching the feet of Yogi Adityanath to Shahrukh Khan. Shahrukh Khan touched the feet of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on the stage in a program.
Sharing a picture of both the occasions, a user wrote, “Being a Hindu, Rajinikanth has a problem with touching the feet of Mahant Yogi Adityanath of a peeth. But actor Shah Rukh Khan has no problem with touching the feet of politician Mamata Banerjee?”
However, some people are also defending Rajinikanth.
One user wrote, “He (Rajinikanth) didn’t touch the feet of the UP CM, he touched the feet of the Mahant of Gorakhnath Math. This sets him apart from other C-grade actors who make fun of Hindu traditions and customs to make themselves cool.” understand.”
Another user wrote, “When Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister’s minister touches his feet, no one cares, now why so much concern about Rajinikanth touching Yogi Adityanath’s feet?” she came. This film is getting many positive reactions.
The actor first met Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel during his Lucknow tour.
Apart from the UP CM, discussion is also hot on Rajinikanth’s meeting with Kunda MLA Raghuraj Pratap Singh alias Raja Bhaiya.
Raja Bhaiya shared a picture of his meeting with Rajinikanth and wrote, “It is indeed an honor for us to host the superstar of Indian cinema. Rajinikanth is a versatile actor as well as a noble man.”
Raja Bhaiya wrote in another tweet, “It was a privilege to welcome ‘Thalaiva’ Rajinikanth in Ramayana. He is the biggest superhero of the country but not only in the film world but also in the field of spirituality and devotion, he is in advanced order. Baba Vishwanath’s Vibhuti, Dinkar ji’s Rashmirathi and Gomukh’s Gangajal were presented to him with respect.”
“What happened to Rajinikanth? After Yogi, now Rajinikanth met Raghuraj Pratap Singh (accused in many crimes),” tweeted a user sharing the photo of the meeting.
Another user wrote, “Do you think Rajinikanth doesn’t know who Raghuraj Pratap Singh aka Raja Bhaiya is?”
