Superstar Rajinikanth has taken a break from his acting commitments and embarked on a spiritual journey to the Himalayas with a few of his close friends. Several pictures of the actor living a simple life away from the glitz of stardom, including one where he is seen eating food served on a pattal by the roadside, have surfaced on social media.

Several images from his trip have surfaced on social media. The images are earning admiration and love from fans.
One picture shows Rajinikanth dressed in simple white clothes, eating food served on disposable leaf plates (pattal) placed on a stone surface by the roadside. In the background, one can see a car is parked, with the hilly backdrop.
Other pictures capture him conversing with a group of men, seemingly at the ashram, while another shows him alongside a priest, offering his respects.

@rajinikanth always inspires. So humble and down to earth personality.”

This photo, which has gone viral on social media, is said to be from a religious pilgrimage he’s currently on. While today’s top actors spend millions on plastic surgery, hair patches, and stylish appearances, Rajinikanth doesn’t rely on any of these things.”
“Superstar’s Simplicity,” shared another fan.
