In an old interview with Vikatan, Latha Rajinikanth once opened up about her husband, Rajinikanth's relationship with their grandchildren. Talking about the same, she mentioned that since Rajinikanth was unable to be there for his daughters when they were young because of his busy schedule, he ensures to be with his grandkids, and whenever he gets the chance, he makes the most of his time. She also revealed how the veteran actor's grandkids look up to Rajinikanth just like other kids in their school. However, the doting wife also mentioned how the grandkids used to resonate more with Rajinikanth's superstar aura when they watched him on-screen than their grandfather when they met in person.
