Why did not Rajinikanth hold Shobana's feet for a scene in film Shiva

Actress Shobana has gone down the memory track as she has spoken about performing with Rajinikanth. The danseuse had got her first chance to share screen space with the Tamil celebrity at the age of 20 in Ameerjan's Siva and she has now opened up on an interesting story from her memory.

 

The actress has told about Rajinikanth having a second thought about holding her feet for a scene in Shiva. In fact, he had asked whether the said arrangement could be done away with.

"During the shooting of our movie 'Shiva', there was really a scene where Rajini sir had to hold my feet. He was a bit shy to have that scene and asked if it could be excluded. Later, after convincing, he did the scene. I was actually inquisitive, as to why Rajini sir was cautious. He is a big actor and I didn't know back then as to why he wanted to circumvent that specific scene," Behindwoods quotes her as saying.

It is normal for anybody to come to a conclusion that Rajinikanth was reluctant to do the scene since he was a star. However, the fact is he knew the outcome for the arrangement from the spectators.

She added, "Later, after the release of the film, Rajini sir's fans had a big problem with that. I started getting hate mails, saying how Thalaivar can hold my feet. He knew all this and that's when I unspoken the reason behind his unwillingness. He is an amazing and polite person,"
