Anupam Kher, a self-proclaimed fan of Rajinikanth, had the opportunity to meet the superstar in Delhi during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s swearing-in ceremony. In a video shared by Anupam, he showered praises on Rajinikanth, referring to him as a ‘God’s gift to mankind’. The video captured the two walking side by side, with security personnel around them.
During the video, Anupam looked into the camera and exclaimed, “The one and only, Mr. Rajini-the-kanth! The one and only! The God’s gift to mankind! Waah (wow)!” Rajinikanth reciprocated the warmth by holding Kher’s arm and flashing a smile towards the camera.
Following the video, producer Anand Pandit took to the comments section and described Rajinikanth as a person who embodies dignity, talent, humility, kindness, and love. Veteran actor Rakesh Bedi also chimed in, acknowledging Rajinikanth’s simplicity.
Rajinikanth graced Narendra Modi’s swearing-in ceremony as Prime Minister of India on Sunday. Before departing for Delhi, Rajinikanth spoke to the media outside the airport, highlighting the historical significance of the event and congratulating Modi on his third term. He also commended the presence of a robust opposition as a positive sign for democracy. Anupam Kher, on the other hand, had previously shared his excitement about receiving an invitation to the ceremony.
In another incident, Anupam Kher condemned the actions of CISF woman constable Kulwinder Kaur, who slapped actress-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut at Chandigarh airport. Showing solidarity with Kangana, Anupam criticized the behavior of the security personnel and stressed the need for grievances to be addressed in a more appropriate manner. He called for women across India to react to the incident, emphasizing Kangana’s identity as both an MP and a woman.
The incident involving Kangana came shortly after her victory in the Mandi constituency, Himachal Pradesh, during the Lok Sabha polls where she contested on a BJP ticket.
As the entertainment industry continues to witness such interactions and incidents, the bond between celebrities and political figures remains a topic of both admiration and scrutiny. With each public appearance and statement, personalities like Rajinikanth, Anupam Kher, and Kangana Ranaut shape public perception and discourse in unique ways, reflecting the diverse fabric of Indian society.
