In a world where celebrities often travel in private jets or the luxury of first class, Rajinikanth continues to stand apart. Despite being one of the biggest icons in Indian cinema, revered across generations, the superstar once again showed why he remains so loved by fans — choosing to fly economy class on a regular IndiGo flight. His simplicity and humility, even at the peak of his legendary status, left everyone onboard touched and thrilled.
A recent video captured the heartwarming scene as Rajinikanth boarded the flight, with passengers instantly recognizing him. Cheers erupted, phones were pulled out to capture the moment, and shouts of ‘Thalaiva’ echoed through the cabin. Rajinikanth responded to the excitement with his trademark warmth, smiling and waving back at his fans.
Internet goes into a frenzy
The internet went into a frenzy after the video of Rajinikanth flying economy surfaced online. Fans flooded social media, expressing admiration for the superstar’s humility and simplicity. Many praised him for never losing his grounded nature despite his massive fame and wealth. Some highlighted the excitement and joy of the passengers who got to share a flight with him, while others pointed out how Rajinikanth remains genuine and low-key, unlike many celebrities who flaunt their lifestyles. Across platforms, fans celebrated him as a humble legend and one of the greatest superstars of all time.
The video, shared widely online, shows how even after wrapping up a shoot for the highly anticipated Jailer 2, Rajinikanth remains deeply grounded. Interestingly, this isn’t the first time he has opted for economy travel — last year, he was spotted on a flight from Kadapa, warmly interacting with fellow passengers and crew, once again proving that true greatness lies in humility.
