One cannot help but agree that especially over the recent years, Rajinikanth has given off highly energetic performances one after the other. It all started with the 2014 release Lingaa, followed by successive mega hits like Kabali, Kaala, 2.0, Petra, Jailer, Lal Salaam and more recently Vettaiyan. 

The actor seems to be aging like fine wine and he strives to deliver a notch higher each time with each of his releases. Moreover, the fact that he can pull off high octane action sequences effortlessly and tap to the tunes of peppy dance numbers at such an age, proves how one cannot take out the sheer dedication towards craft from him.

However, while Rajinikanth has now reached the pinnacle of success now, things haven’t always been a bed of roses for him. The actor has gone through rejections and tough challenges in order to achieve the global stardom that he enjoys now.

Way back in January 2020, during the audio launch for his film Darbar, Thalaiva recounted a significant moment in his life, when, after getting deeply insulted by a filmmaker, he vowed to prove his worth. 

Sharing why he promised himself he would never return to that film set where he was insulted without a car, the actor had said, “That was when I realized that if I do not come back to AVM Studios in a foreign car, then I am not Rajinikanth.” 

On the work front, Rajinikanth would be next seen in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie.

In the aforementioned interview, rightwing broadcaster Glenn Beck asked Trump, “If you’re president again, will you lock people up?” to which Trump replied, “The answer is you have no choice.” The 47th President of the United States had been vocal about his contempt for both Swift and Kimmel, with the pop icon and the talk-show host returning similar sentiments.

Voicing her support for the Democrats, prior to the election, Swift posted on Instagram, “I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.” As per Variety, she reportedly drove over 400,000 visitors to the voter information website through the link she had shared.

Donald Trump’s win came along with breaking records which enabled him to secure a second round of presidency. He surpassed the threshold of 270 Electoral College votes winning against Kamala Harris, who had been endorsed by celebs such as Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Eminem, Billie Eilish, and many more.
