Tamil superstar Rajinikanth has met Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath at his residence for the screening of his recently-released flick 'Jailer'.

Internet Divided Over Rajinikanth Touching Yogi Adityanaths Feet: Check Netizens Reaction

In the viral clip doing rounds on social media sites, the Tamil superstar is seen touching the feet of Yogi as he arrives at his residence in Lucknow. This gesture has left netizens, his fans and Tamils divided.

It is because Rajinikanth is younger to Yogi. Then why did the Tamil superstar touch the UP CM's feet?

Those who have found no fault in Rajinikanth's gesture say that it is common for Hindus to touch a spiritual leader's feet.

"In Hindu culture, touching someone's feet is a gesture of respect and humility. While it embodies deep values, it might seem misunderstood by others. Let's embrace diverse traditions with open hearts," a user said on Twitter.

The 21st Chief Minister of UP is a monk and the mahant (Head Priest) of the Gorakhnath Math. "From my perspective, #Rajinikanth sir touched #YogiAdityanath ji feet as he is a YOGI. I dont think there is a need to look at it through multiple angles," another person stated.

A Rajinikanth fan said, "Meet so many bjp politicians even modi. He never touched thier feet he doesn't need to But he touched feet of yogi because yogi is not just a politician. He is a mahanth of gorkahath temple. Yogi is not just a political person."

However, another section of people are not happy with Rajinikanth's gesture of touching Yogi's feet as he is a politician. Many accused the UP CM of targeting another community through bulldozer action. Hence, they questioned why the Tamil actor touched the controversial Chief Minister's feet.

"Actor #Rajinikanth is touching the feet of someone who started bulldozer terrorism against the Muslims! Slow claps," one user said.

Many people also shared Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin touching the feet of late Sathya Sai Baba.
