What: BMTC staff in southern Bengaluru’s Jayanagar were in for a pleasant surprise on Tuesday as their most famous former colleague, superstar Rajinikanth, paid them an unexpected visit. Bengaluru-born Rajinikanth worked as a bus conductor for several years before making it big in the film industry. He was attached to depot number 4 in what was then known as the Bangalore Transport Service (BTS).
Furthermore: His colleague, BTS driver P Raj Bahadur, was instrumental in identifying his acting talent and encouraging him to make a career in films.
We say: No wonder Rajinikanth is such an iconic figure. His humbleness connects him to his fans.
