Sonakshi realised that Rajinikanth’s professionalism and humility is because of the respect he pays to his fans.
"He is very professional. He is such a huge star, yet he is so humble and speaks to everyone so politely. Once he goes out of the set, he is always surrounded by his fans and he makes sure that he rolls down the window and greets them.
