Mumbai, Oct 9
Veteran Tamil cinema megastar Rajinikanth is in the Himalayas, as the mountain range prepares for a thrilling spell of winters.
The actor paid a visit to the Mahavatar Babaji cave, and the pictures and videos from his visit are now going viral on social media. The pictures show Rajinikanth away from the hullabaloo of stardom, as he relaxes in the lap of nature.
Earlier, the veteran actor had visited Swami Dayananda Ashram in Rishikesh and later took time out to meditate along the banks of the Ganga and participate in the Ganga Aarti. In one of the pictures, Rajinikanth was seen wearing white clothes, eating food served on disposable leaf plates placed on a stone surface by the roadside
A car parked against a hilly backdrop was seen in the backdrop. Another photo had the superstar chatting with a group of men, most likely at the ashram, followed by a pic of Rajinikanth alongside a priest, offering his respects.
Rajinikanth made his film debut in 'Apoorva Raagangal', directed by K. Balachander. Over the following decades, he appeared in over 160 films across Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, and Kannada languages. Known for his distinct dialogue delivery and screen mannerisms, he became one of India's highest-paid actors by the 1990s.
His political involvement began with public statements in the late 1990s, leading to the formation of the Rajini Makkal Mandram in 2018, though he withdrew from active politics in 2021 due to health reasons. Rajinikanth received the Padma Bhushan in 2000, the Padma Vibhushan in 2016, and the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2021 for his contributions to Indian cinema.
His most recent cinematic appearance was in 'Coolie', a Tamil action thriller directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. 'Coolie' is noted as Rajinikanth's 171st film as lead actor.

Amazing to see him eating from leaf plates by the roadside like a common man. This humility is what makes him the real superstar! No airs, no fancy arrangements - just pure devotion. â¤ï¸
As someone visiting India, I find it fascinating how spiritual journeys are so integrated into Indian culture. Rajinikanth's pilgrimage shows the deep connection Indians have with their spiritual heritage. Beautiful tradition!
While I respect his spiritual journey, I wish more celebrities would use their platform to highlight environmental issues in the Himalayas. The region needs attention beyond spiritual tourism. Just a thought!
The Ganga Aarti in Rishikesh is absolutely magical! Been there once and it's a life-changing experience. So glad Rajinikanth is experiencing the spiritual beauty of India. More people should visit these sacred places.
After 171 films and all the awards, he still finds time for spiritual growth. This is the real success story! Wishing him good health and more such peaceful journeys. 🕉ï¸
The Himalayas have a way of humbling even the biggest stars. Good to see Rajini sir following the path of spirituality. Hope he comes back refreshed for his next
