Quotes
Mohan Sharma
Former Tamil cinema actor, producer, and industry official
“I needed major surgery on my leg due to a growth. It left me unable to walk, so I had to have the surgery. I also had a ligament tear. I spent Rs 4‑5 lakh on those surgeries. Besides, I also have vertigo, hypertension, and diabetes. I need daily insulin injections. I require around Rs 35,000 a month just for medicines.”

“Rajinikanth saved me by entering my life like a god. He called me and asked for my bank account number. He sent me Rs 1 lakh the next day. That’s what really saved me. It saved my dignity. I am very indebted to him. To the world, he is a superstar, but to me, he is God’s incarnation.”
