Tamil superstar Rajinikanth on Monday said his daughter Aishwarya did not term “Sanghi” in a “bad sense” when she questioned why her father was being branded that way by some fans.
Sanghi is a colloquial term that describes a right-wing supporter or activist.
During the audio launch of her film Laal Salaam on Jan 26 in Chennai, Aishwarya had said: “Rajinikanth is not a Sanghi. If he was, he wouldn’t have done a film like Lal Salaam.” Rajinikanth reportedly plays a Muslim in Lal Salaam, which is directed by Aishwarya and set for release on Feb 9.
When asked if Aishwarya’s speech was to promote the film across India, Rajinikanth said: “Aishwarya never said that Sanghi is a bad word. Her point is that her father is a spiritual person and an admirer of all religions.”
