Rajinikanth recalls how he hurt Jayalalithaa

Days after the passing away of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, Superstar Rajinikanth has said that she was a person with a golden heart.  In what may be called a tribute to 'Amma', Rajini, who was once her arch rival, said that she was no ordinary human being.

Below are Rajini's words:

'During election time (1996), I had criticized the Puratchi Thalaivi’s rule which ended up hurting her. I was the main reason for her defeat in that election. But she set aside all bitterness and attended the wedding of my daughter Aishwarya at my residence in Poes Garden.  She even postponed the wedding of her party member that happened on the same day. She possessed such a golden heart. She faced a lot of struggles and suppression from the male-dominated society and turned out to be a polished diamond. After her death, crores and crores of her cadres and people have washed her with tears and made her sleep like a Kohinoor diamond in Marina near the Puratchi Thalaivar. In these seven days after her death, lakhs and lakhs of people have visited her memorial. This is not possible for a normal human. This is certainly divine power.'
