NDTV 24×7, the eminent English news channel in India presents its annual Indian of the year awards for outstanding performances of individuals in their respective fields. The award ceremony for 2010 outstanding performers took place in the National capital last night; it witnessed the South Superstar, Rajinikanth getting the award for the “best entertainer of the decade”.

The reclusive superstar, who rarely makes his appearance felt at award ceremonies, was accompanied by his wife Latha. The event witnessed the reputed channel handing out entertainer of the decade award to Rajinikanth by his fellow state politician, Union Home Minister, P Chidambaram.

One witnessed the stage suddenly turned silent after Rajini went on to the podium to collect his award. The calmness and composure of the star made Dr Prannoy Roy, to be in a dilemma whether to ask any questions or not to the star. Dr Roy asked other award winners such as Ajay Devgn, Vidya Balan, and Katrina Kaif to come on to the podium, which observed Bollywood Superstar Ajay Devgan pouring in one or the other compliment to the Superstar of South India.

The podium was filled with emotions as soon as Rajini made his presence on it, because its not often one sees a superstar being so simple, sorry simpler, sorry once again, it should be simplest.

Ajay was quoted saying that “no other star brings as much money as he does and he is not only a superstar in India but also he is the superstar of the world.” Certainly a great compliment coming to one great superstar from other. Vidya Balan, Katrina Kaif and Trisha were more than happy to share the podium space with Rajini, as they call Rajini sir. Rajini, who as usual dressed in simple attire, received a standing ovation once he went on to the podium to collect his award

We know Rajini sir is so down to earth but entire nation witnessed that he is not down to earth but in the crust and core part of the earth. Rajini sir, you are one among many superstars and you would remain as one.
