Rajinikanth isn't just known for his onscreen acts but also for his philanthropic work. The people who observes him closely and the ones who have been benefitted from him knows about his golden heart.

BN Shanthamma, a 78-year-old, worked as a school teacher at the Government Model Primary School in Gavipuram in Bangalore when Rajini studied for for three consecutive years (Class 5th, 6th and 7th) here. The actor came to know about the hardships his teacher has been facing due to lack of sufficient money. He immediately spoke to Shanthamma over phone and said he will be coming to her home when ever he visits Bangalore. However, he hasn't given any hint of his intention to help the elderly woman.

On Saturday, Shanthamma was informed that Rs 3 lakhs has been deposited to her bank account by Rajinikanth. She is thankful to her student who offered financial help when it matters the most. "Shivaji Rao was poor. He is a very intelligent student. Despite reaching greater heights, he hasn't changed a bit," she commented.

Rajini doesn't like to talk about the help he has offered and this is one quality which has taken to the next level in the hearts of people.
