"I am avoiding most of the functions as all my fans and those from the film fraternity are important for me and if I come for one and don't for another it will not be right and I haven't yet completely recovered from my sickness, so I prefer taking rest whenever I can", started off the Superstar.

"However Prabhu came home and left an invitation even after expressing I won't be able to make it, when I telephoned and asked him why he did that despite knowing I wont be able to come, he said that as a thambi (younger brother) its his duty to invite me and its upto me to make it or not. I understood of how important it is for me to make it for Sivaji's grandson's launch film's audio release", said Rajini.

He further added, "When you receive too much of anything in life, you don't know how to give back, its better to avoid taking debt than wondering how to give it back.
