Rajini's
Popularity
There is a popular story
saying that wherever you go, you will find atleast a
Rajinikanth fan
Here is an interesting new story...!
Rajinikanth was bragging to Jayalalitha one day, "You
know, I know everyone there is to know. Just name someone,
anyone, and I know them."
Tired of his boasting, Jayalalitha called his bluff, "OK,
Rajini how about Tom Cruise?" "Sure, yes, Tom and I are
old friends, and I can prove it" Rajini said.
So Rajini and Jayalalitha fly out to Hollywood and knock
on Tom Cruise's door, and sure enough, Tom Cruise shouts "Thalaiva!
Great to see you! You and your friend come right in and
join me for lunch!". Although impressed, Jayalalitha is
still skeptical.
After they leave Cruise's house, she tells Rajini that she
thinks Rajini knowing Cruise was just lucky. "No, no, just
name anyone else" Rajini says. "President Bush",
Jayalalitha quickly retorts. "Yes", Rajini says, "I know
him, let's fly out to Washington". And off they go. At the
White House, Bush spots Rajini on the tour and motions
him, saying, "Rajini, what a surprise, I was just on my
way to a meeting, but you and your friend come on in and
let's have a cup of coffee first and catch up". Well,
Jayalalitha is very shaken by now, but still not totally
convinced.
After they leave the White House grounds, she expresses
his doubts to Rajini who again implores her to name anyone
else. "The Pope", Jayalalitha replies. "Sure!" says Rajini,
"My folks are from Poland and I've known the Pope a long
time". So off they fly to Rome.
Rajini and Jayalalitha are assembled with the masses in
Vatican Square when Rajini says, "This will never work. I
can't catch the Pope's eye among all these people. Tell
you what, I know all the guards so let me just go upstairs
and I'll come out on the balcony with the Pope." And he
disappears into the crowd headed toward the Vatican. Sure
enough, half an hour later Rajini emerges with the Popeon
the balcony. But by the time Rajini returns, he finds that
Jayalalitha had a Heart Attack and is surrounded by
paramedics.
Working his way to Jayalalitha's side, Rajini asks her,
"What happened?"
Jayalalitha looks up and says, "I was doing fine until you
and the Pope came out on the balcony and the man next to
me said, Who's that on the balcony with Rajini?"
