25-year-old Rajinikanth made his debut in 1975 with Apoorva Raagangal, in which he played husband to a 22-year-old Srividya. Over the next 40 years, Rajinikanth aged, his stardom grew but the age of his heroines - well, that’s a different matter.
Aishwarya Rai
In 2010 Rajinikanth romanced Aishwarya Rai in Enthiran (Robot). Ash was 37, while Rajini was 60. That’s the oldest actress Rajini has acted with in recent times.
Deepika Padukone
Rajinikanth has also whispered sweet nothings to Deepika, albeit in a motion capture film. Kochadaiyaan released in 2014. Deepika was 28, while Rajini was 64.
Sonakshi Sinha
Rajinikanth and Sonakshi Sinha have done the regular song and dance routine for the Tamil film Lingaa. Sonakshi at 27 was being wooed by a 64-year-old Rajinikanth.
Amy Jackson
Rajinikanth is currently shooting for Robot 2 and he has Amy Jackson for company. Believe it or not Amy is 24.
In other words Rajinikanth was 42-years-old when Amy was born!
Here’s Rajinikanth’s own hilarious story about him getting lucky enough to act at 60 with heroines half his age:
