In a recent media interaction, actress Simran Bagga revealed her long-held admiration for Rajinikanth, confessing to having a "secret crush" on the superstar.

Simran recalled her time on the set of "Petta," reminiscing about how she would find a quiet corner just to catch a glimpse of Rajinikanth. She expressed her excitement for "Coolie," adding that the 74-year-old actor looks "like fire" in the film.
This isn't the first time Simran has publicly praised Rajinikanth. In a 2019 interview with IANS, she described him as a "simple, humble, and down-to-earth person". She also referred to him as her "superhero," stating that he embodied those qualities long before characters like Iron Man and Spider-Man became popular. Simran expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to have worked with him in "Petta".
"Petta" was a significant film for Simran, marking her return to the big screen. She played Rajinikanth's love interest in the movie, and she felt it was a "big deal" for her. Simran, who was 42 at the time of the film's release, expressed her happiness at being offered such a glamorous role at her age. She also mentioned that she wanted her first film with Rajinikanth to be special.
"Coolie," directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is highly anticipated and is set to release in theaters soon. The film is generating buzz not only in the southern states but also in the North. "Coolie" is aiming for a wide release in the Hindi belt, potentially becoming the second-widest release for a Tamil film after Rajinikanth's own "2.0".
Simran's career has spanned across multiple languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam. She has worked with renowned directors like Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan. Despite facing challenges and stereotypes in the film industry, Simran has continued to make her mark.
Rajinikanth, meanwhile, remains a prominent figure in Indian cinema, with a career spanning decades. He has a dedicated fan base and is known for his unique style and charisma.
