Rajinikanth, rules the hearts of his many fans across the world. He is not just adored but worshipped as the Thalaivaa. His movies are box office hits not only in the South Indian market but even as far as Japan and United Kingdom. Muthu, is one such example of it. But what many don't know is that behind his larger-than-life persona lies a simple man who is much like any of us. It's his ability to balance his stardom with simplicity and humility that makes him a true real-life hero too:

5. He still treasures his old possessions like clothes, old pictures, his old car.

Even though he is rich enough to be able to afford anything in the world, his humility helps him understand the value of things.

6. Rajinikanth still looks up to his mentor, K. Balchandra, who gave him his first break.

Being a megastar has not made him forget his roots. The Thalaivaa allows his mentor to scold and question him even today.
