Superstar Rajinikanth on Thursday requested not to name any awards after him. He said this at the annual day function of Ashram Group of Institutions, founded by Latha Rajinikanth, in Chennai.
�I am not a legend at all! I felt uncomfortable when my guru K. Balachandar sir was honoured with Rajinikanth Legendary Award. I told even my wife Latha about it. Henceforth from next year, the award should be bestowed in the name of K.Balachandar sir�, remarked Superstar Rajinikanth at the 21st Annual Day celebration of the Ashram Arts Academy.
Adding further he said, �They told me to come on stage only at the end and that�s why I am here now. I am happy for all the Bhishma Awardees including actress Asha Parekhji and who had come all the way from Mumbai and late Shammi Kapoor whose son Adhithya is here today�.
Others who were honoured at the function include V S Raghavan (Chevalier Sivaji Award ) A L Raghavan, M N Rajam, Table Tennis player Chandrasekar, musician Vikku Vinayakram, teacher Nithya Agnihotri and cinema historian Film News Anandan (all with Bhishma Awards), and students of Ashram Schools.
