Rajinikanth to go to Singapore for treatment

New Delhi: Tamil superstar Rajinikanth is going to Singapore for further treatment, said his daughter Aishwarya, adding he is not in any danger but needed privacy.

"He is being taken for further treatment to Singapore but I would like to clarify that he is not being airlifted by an air ambulance because that is not necessary for him as his vital (organs) are stable and he is going to travel like a normal passenger," Aishwarya told NDTV on Friday.

After being first admitted to St Isabel Hospital in Chennai on April 29, he was taken back there after allergic bronchitis and fever on May 6. He was then shifted to Sri Ramachandra Medical Centre on May 13 for recurrent respiratory infection and gastro-intestinal problems.

"He (Rajinikanth) is being taken to Singapore for fluid collection in his body and for rejuvenation, and he needs to recoup himself. I am with him 24x7 at the hospital, and I am able see a lot of improvement and recovery in him," Aishwarya said.

"Like one of us, he can fall sick and he is definitely going to recover soon," she added.

Aishwarya also said wrong information should not be given to people who adore him, particularly down south, where he is a part of every household.

"We are taking him to Singapore because of media speculation, sensationalisation of the whole news. He would like a little bit of privacy with his family," said Aishwarya.
