Happiest Birthday to the superstar of Indian Cinema – Rajinikanth! A true example of a superstar who has entertained cinema lovers in his acting career, a man who has been the pillar of strength to his family and much more. Thalaiva, as he is fondly called by his family, has turned a year older today. Born as Shivaji Rao Gaekwad on December 12, 1950 in a Marathi family, he is known by his stage name. Rajinikanth has done all odd jobs before making a career in the world of acting. Let's not forget, Rajinikanth's family is one of the most loved families of Kollywood.

Rajinikanth tied the knot with Latha Rangachari (who interviewed him for her college [Ethiraj College for Women] magazine) on February 26, 1981. The couple has two daughters Aishwarya (married to Dhanush) and Soundarya (married to Vishagan Vanangamudi). It is not that often you’ll get to see pictures of this lovely family on social media. But whenever their pics hit the internet, it goes viral instantly. Although Rajinikanth is not active on social media, his daughters and fan clubs keep sharing intriguing pics and fans just cannot stop going gaga about it. On his 69th birthday, let’s take a look at some of the best photos of Rajinikanth with his family.
