This superstar wanted to marry Sridevi but could never express his feeling. Find his name inside.

In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, we hear many romantic love stories. But some real-life love stories are more dramatic than a film’s script. One such similar tale is of two legendary actors. Their on-screen chemistry was widely hailed and appreciated, but even off-screen, there was growing fondness.

When Rajinikanth wanted to marry Sridevi

The people in the picture are none other than Superstar Rajinikanth and iconic Sridevi. Sridevi was only 16 when Rajnikanth was smitten by her undeniable charm and grace. So much so that, according to veteran filmmaker K. Balachander, a close associate of Rajinikanth, he wanted to marry her. The actor was so serious about it that he even discussed it with Sridevi’s mother. On the occasion of the griha pravesh (housewarming ceremony), he visited her home to express his intentions. But as soon as Rajinikanth and Balachander arrived, the power went out. Considering it a bad sign, he returned without saying a word.

Rajinikanth and Sridevi work together

Together. Rajinikanth and Sridevi appeared in 19 films. Their on-screen chemistry was widely admired. Sridevi, who was 13 years younger than Rajnikanth, had even portrayed the role of his mother, which proved her versatility as an actress. Despite the huge age gap, Rajinikanth developed a strong affection for Sridevi.

Over time, their bond evolved. Rajinikanth wasn’t merely her co-star; he was very protective of Sridevi and had become emotionally attached to him. Friends often noted how deeply he cared for her and wanted to take things further. Unfortunately, the significant age gap and that one incident of “bad luck” led to a love story that remained incomplete.

Sridev,i known for her undeniable charm and grace, was a heartthrob of many. From Bollywood to South Indian films, she captivated everyone’s hearts. Among them was Rajinikanth, not just a co-star, but someone who truly cherished her.
