Without a doubt, the most famous on-screen duo in Indian film is Rajinikanth and the late actress Sridevi. Together, they have collaborated on more than 20 multilingual motion pictures. As they grew close, the renowned performers frequently complimented one another. Since Rajinikanth and Sridevi were such good friends, the latter even fasted for a week while the former was ill.

During a difficult time in Rajinikanth’s life, there is a fascinating tale about their friendship. Rajinikanth became really ill during the 2011 filming of Rana and had to be treated at a hospital in Singapore. Perhaps no one was more concerned than his close friend Sridevi. Worried about his health, Sridevi promised Shirdi Sai Baba to fast for seven days to pray for a quick recovery. She even travelled to Pune to pray for his wellness at the Sai Baba shrine. Rajinikanth’s condition improved as a result of this and the prayers of countless fans.

Sridevi and Rajinikanth have a lengthy history together because the actor was close to Sridevi’s mother. He was fiercely protective of Sridevi because she was 13 years younger than Rajinikanth. Their friendship, built on years of collaboration and mutual admiration, was often highlighted in interviews and public appearances. Their professional journey together began with the film Moondru Mudichu in 1976. Thereafter, they delivered several blockbuster films, including Naan Adimai Illai, Adutha Varisu, Pokkiri King, 16 Vayathinileand Bhagwaan Dadato name a few. Their on-screen magic was palpable, and their legacy as one of Indian cinema’s most beloved pairs is unmatched.

When Sridevi passed away

Everyone was shocked to learn of Sridevi’s sudden passing on February 24, 2018. Rajinikanth hurried to Mumbai to meet her family after hearing the news, leaving everything behind. On February 26, Rajinikanth, who commemorates his wedding anniversary with Latha Rangachari, abandoned his long-standing custom in honour of the late actress.
