Superstar Rajinikanth received a standing ovation by the audience while he was conferred with Dadasaheb Phalke Award, India`s highest film honour, by Vice President Venkaiah Naidu in the capital today.
Born as Shivaji Rao Gaekwad on December 12, 1950, to Ramoji Rao and Jijabai, Rajinikanth worked as a bus conductor before embarking on his film journey about 45 years ago. While accepting the award, Rajinikanth took a stroll down memory lane to thank one of his old friends, who saw acting talent in him and encouraged him to try his luck in films.
