Superstar Rajinikanth Embraces Simplicity During Himalayan Retreat

As of October 5th, 2025, renowned Indian actor Rajinikanth has taken a break from his acting commitments to embark on a spiritual journey in the Himalayas, accompanied by close friends. Photographs from his time in the mountains have surfaced on social media, offering a glimpse into the superstar's retreat.

One striking image shows Rajinikanth enjoying a simple meal served on a leaf plate by the roadside, a far cry from the glamour and luxury typically associated with his celebrity status. This choice to embrace simplicity has resonated with many, further reinforcing his reputation as a grounded and humble figure.

Another photograph captures Rajinikanth in plain white clothes, engaging with local residents at an ashram and offering his respects to a priest. These images have been widely praised for highlighting the actor's down-to-earth demeanor and spiritual inclinations.

On Saturday, October 4th, Rajinikanth visited the Swami Dayananda Ashram in Rishikesh, where he paid tribute to Swami Dayananda and participated in meditation along the banks of the Ganga River. He also attended the traditional Hindu ritual of Ganga Aarti. The following day, he traveled to Dwarahat, continuing his spiritual engagements.

Despite his hiatus from acting, Rajinikanth has been actively involved in several projects. Earlier this year, he played a police officer in the film 'Vettaiyan' alongside Amitabh Bachchan and Rana Daggubati. He also featured in the ensemble project 'Coolie,' directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, which included a star-studded cast such as Nagarjuna, Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan, Rachita Ram, Upendra, and Aamir Khan. Currently, Rajinikanth is working on the upcoming film 'Jailer 2,' directed by Nelson Dilipkumar.
