Rajinikanth
On
Joining
Politics
"God
decides
what
we
have
to
do
in
life.
Right
now,
he
wants
me
to
be
an
actor
and
I'm
fulfilling
my
responsibility.
If
God
willing,
I
will
enter
politics
tomorrow," said
Rajinikanth.
The
Superstar
Warns
The
Corrupt
Ministers
"If
I
enter,
I
will
be
very
truthful
and
will
not
entertain
people
who
are
in
this
to
make
money.
I
won't
work
with
such
people," Rajinikanth
told
his
fans
at
a
greet-and-meet
in
Chennai.
However,
Rajinikanth
Had
A
Brief
Stint
In
Politis
The
66-year-old

described
his
brief
stint
in
politics
two
decades

a
‘political
accident'.
In

Nadu
assembly
election
campaign,
Rajinikanth
denounced
J.
Jayalalithaa
and
her
politics.
His
strong
remarks
caused
her
defeat.
He
Calls
His
Brief
Stint
In
Politics
‘A
Mistake’
"I
did
a
mistake
by
supporting
a
political
alliance
21
years
ago.
It
was
a
political
accident.
Since
then,
politicians
have
misused
my
name
on
several
occasions.
But
I
have
to
clarify,
I'm
not
joining
any
party,"
he
added.
The

Here’s
What

"Take
care
of
your
family
and
children.
Don't
waste
your
life
by
smoking

drinking.
Drinking

affects
your
health
but
also
your
decision
making
ability.
I
have
been
affected
enough
so
please
take
my
