Truth Behind Rajni Illness

Life in Chennai came to a partial standstill on April 29 when superstar Rajnikant took ill exactly half an hour after he reported for the mahurat of his most ambitious film to date K S Ravikumar Rana. The actor has a triple role in the film.

However, he had barely been on the set when he complained of restlessness and around noon he was rushed to Isabella Hospital in Mylapore. His fans stood outside the hospital despite the harsh afternoon sun beating down hard on them; refusing to budge. The mood all around was gloomy.

The Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Dr M Karunanidhi and his daughter, Kanimozhi also visited the superstar. Rajni was discharged later in the evening.

However, a source says that one of the reasons for the superstar being restless is because he is currently on the wagon. Elaborating further our source adds, “For nearly 40 years Rajni has been a heavy drinker. Many Bollywood actors who have had a drink with him know that Rajni could have as many as eight to nine pegs of whisky on occasions.

However, on his birthday (December 12, 2010) the actor decided that he would kick the drinking habit. And eventually, a couple of months ago he gave up drinking. Now he doesn’t touch a drop of alcohol. And as it happens with all heavy drinkers who give up, he gets a bit restless sometimes.”

Rajni is said to be fine now and everyone is relieved that he is back in the studios.
