VIDEO: HERE'S WHAT BHARATHIRAJAA HAS TO SAY ABOUT RAJINIKANTH NOT ENTERING POLITICS

He said as thus:

Everybody was anticipating when Rajini would come to politics. You have everything - money, fame. You have touched Himalayan heights. I wasn't for you entering politics.

Artists and politics are different fields. I was concerned to know of your hospitalisation after shooting got halted as a few crew members contracted corona. I have gone through the pain with SPB.

Only you know how difficult it is. Body and mind are important. We talked yesterday. I always call you 'Thalaiva'. I asked you whether you have to enter politics. Peace of mind is more important. You are an 'Aanmegavaadhi'. God has given you everything.

As a friend, I love your decision and welcome it. It is very apt. Hats off to you. There are many confusions but you ultimately took the decision.

I thought your fans might get agitated. They were expecting you to start the party. They have travelled with that expectation. But life is more important. It is a good decision. Love you.

There are so many controversies about you being a Kannadiga, Marathi and such. But that day itself you said you don't want the CM post and will keep a Tamilian there.

I pray for you. You are a lovely friend. I welcome your decision. You are important. Your fans are important.*
