Popular actor Arjun’s daughter, Aishwarya, recently married Umapathy, the son of actor Thambi Ramaiah. The couple had been in love for a long time and tied the knot with the approval of their families. Their wedding took place simply at the Anjaneya Swamy Temple in Chennai, attended by only close relatives.

However, a grand reception was later organized for other relatives and friends from the film industry. Rajinikanth and his daughter Aishwarya attended this reception. He went on stage to congratulate the newlyweds and handed over the gift he had bought for them. But the gift given by Rajinikanth seemed to be ignored by the Arjun and Thambi Ramaiah families.

Photos from the event show Rajinikanth’s gift being set aside without much attention from the family. As no one took the gift from Rajini’s hand, the actor himself placed it on a bench beside him. These photos quickly went viral, leaving Rajinikanth’s fans feeling disappointed. Some fans took to social media to express their dismay, commenting that it was disrespectful not to acknowledge the superstar’s gesture.
This situation has sparked discussions online, with many feeling that the family should have shown more appreciation for Rajinikanth’s presence and gift. Despite the awkward moment, Rajinikanth maintained his composure throughout the event, showcasing his characteristic grace and humility.
