Every individual faces numerous challenges in their life, such as struggles, mental health issues, depression, trauma, and more. However, there is always someone who inspires us to stay strong and provides us with emotional and moral support.

Ambiga's journey has been one of the most difficult ones, and her pillar of strength has been none other than Rajnikant sir. Despite facing many ups and downs, harsh realities, and being bound to a wheelchair after being a renowned Bharatnatyam dancer, she never lost her confidence or fighting spirit. Rajni sir was always there to provide her with the necessary motivation and support. Ambiga's life story is an extraordinary tale of resilience and empowerment. She followed the path of Rajnikant's philosophy, and today she is a well-known personality. She holds a degree in Counselling from the Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) and has embarked on her career at the Singapore Anti-Narcotics Association (SANA), where she is passionate about counseling ex-drug offenders and helping them integrate back into society.

Reading about Ambiga's life story was a source of inspiration for me, as I learned many important aspects of self-being.

"The Rajini in Me" by Ambiga KS is a heartfelt memoir that showcases her personal experiences and her connection with Indian actor Rajinikanth.

Author Ambiga was born and brought up in Singapore. As a child artist, she also experienced bullying at the tender age of 14. If you are a fan of Rajinikanth, you must have heard of his movie named 'Thalapathy'. The book begins with Ambiga sharing how Thalaivar's character in that movie inspired her greatly and helped her cope with the bullying. Since then, she has admired him.

Ambiga becomes a great fan of the actor Rajnikanth, appreciating his versatility and his ability to bring characters to life in his movies. At the age of 18, she discovers that she has Hepatitis C, which leads to anger issues.

I appreciate her comparison of individuals to cameras with distinct lenses and agree with her that it is not always necessary to prove oneself to others. The book takes us through her educational journey, her experience as a dancer in the 'Arangetram' program, her work as a social-emotional counselor, her battle with Multiple Sclerosis, and her subsequent healing journey.

Ambiga mentions many movies of Rajinikanth like Baasha, Billa, Moondru Mugam, Nallavanukku Nallavan, Netri Kann, and many more. The book contains numerous pictures from his movies as well as many personal pictures of the author.

"The Rajini in Me" is a superbly written book. Ambiga flawlessly expresses her love for Rajnikanth and shares her experiences in the best possible way. She also provides a profound analysis of Rajnikanth's movies. At no point did I find the book boring. Personally, I find her journey very inspiring.

To conclude, "The Rajini in Me" is a beautifully written and heart-touching personal memoir. I am grateful that I read this book, and I am confident that it will inspire readers and help them find their own Rajini in life.

Reading Ambiga's memoir is an emotional rollercoaster, navigating moments of introspection, joy, sorrow, and epiphany. Her raw and honest storytelling resonates deeply, encouraging readers to embark on their own reflective journeys. While some passages offer profound insights into the human spirit, the organic style occasionally leads to disjointed transitions.

Being a Bihari I always thought how a bus conductor can be a superstar. When I was young, my parents used to tell me that everyone in South India considers Rajinikanth as God. Hearing then, it seemed that it is not rare that an actor has attained the status of God in any state. Then I also used to think that no one can copy Rajinikanth's style, then how can he have so many fans?

And all these questions have been answered by this beautiful book "The Rajini in Me: My Transformative Life Journey with Superstar Rajinikanth". The way Ambika KS has shared her life in this book is commendable.

In this book Ambika mentioned a place where Rajnikanth's presence, whether through a movie, an article, a speech, or an interview, always brought her solace during her most testing times. It gave me a perspective about cinema and its learning. We always watch a movie for entertainment but never go under a life changing or personality changing process.

I can say with full confidence that the film director, while giving the role of Surya to Rajinikanth, would not have thought that a child would be a bully in a school, to keep himself safe, to boost his morale, to face the unexpected. Try to live the character of Surya. But reading this context, it seemed as if we all needed to meet Surya.

Ambika's writing brought me closer to Thalaivar and his Superstar personality.
With writing about this book and asking to read everyone there is music playing in my mind “All the Rajni fans don't miss this chance”

This book is the memoir of 40-year-young wheelchair beauty Ambiga. Life is more fascinating than fiction. I had read these words somewhere, but this book explained to me the meaning of those words. Ambiga is one of the three daughters of a Tamil family settled in Singapore. Another protagonist in this book is Superstar Rajinikanth. Before talking about the bond between the two protagonists of this book, let's know something more about Ambiga.

Ambiga has a simple life with her family and friends; she is a trained dancer, a good student (academically), and a caring family-oriented person. Just like all girls, she dreams of a beautiful life with an interesting profession and a romantic marriage. Everyone wishes for these little fantasies in life, but life is a bitch. Ambiga has a lot of struggles—no wars to fight in her life. And in all these struggles, what (or who) comes as a companion or comfort support is Superstar Rajinikanth.

Life is tough, and we all need motivation to fight the tough moments. Rajini's words, his dialogues, and his songs become the motivating factors for Ambiga. Ambiga has never met Rajini in person; she proved we don't need to meet or see the one we follow as an inspiration to gain strength to fight our lives. Ambiga sees Rajini as her strength; now I see her as my motivation. In all 26 chapters, I find character 9—My Quest for Love—very painful.

PS: I loved the story of the three frogs.

Rajinikanth is called a superstar for a reason. Sometimes, even I don't understand why he is worshipped so much. The author also faced a similiar question when she watched her first Rajinikanth movie 'Thalaivar'. But, after watching the movie and trying to get the answer behind this question, her life changed significantly.

As a small child, she was bullied for her extraordinary skills. Born and raised in Singapore, she was brought to a neighborhood Yishun for secondary school. She hadn't been around so many Tamilians before and it was a new experience for her. Everything changed drastically, and her experience with the Tamilian boys was not good. While following and researching about the superstar, she got strength to fight for heself. How did the whole process exactly happened that changed her life for good? What did the author got to know about Rajinikanth after thoroughly studying about his life that changed her mindset and skills for the better? Read this book to find out.

The writing style of the book is strikingly impressive and the courage of the author to fight for herself is greatly admired. The author has really poured out her feelings in the narrative and it is greatly seen in her writing style. I had a great time reading this book and I hope that my fellow readers would feel the same.

As a lifelong fan of Rajinikanth, I was eager to read Ambiga K.S.'s memoir "The Rajini in Me" to gain insight into how the iconic actor's wisdom has empowered others. I was not disappointed - this book delivered an uplifting and introspective narrative of the author's personal growth.

The author seamlessly weaves the tenets of "Rajinism" throughout her life story, from her childhood dreams to her adult challenges. The anecdotes shine a light on how Rajinikanth's humility, spirituality, and resilience helped the author overcome obstacles and self-doubt. I found myself highlighting quote after quote and feeling motivated to embrace struggle as an opportunity for growth.

While stories of Rajinikanth's positive influence on the author's journey are inspiring, equally moving are her raw and honest reflections on embracing her true self. The memoir doesn't sugarcoat the difficulties of the process or the time it takes to learn self-acceptance. This balance of reverence and realism gives the book heart and credibility.

As a fellow fan seeking inspiration, I found "The Rajini in Me" to be both uplifting and profound. The author's writing pulls you in with vivid storytelling, making the book hard to put down. I emerged feeling encouraged to find my inner strength and live boldly. This is a must-read for anyone needing motivation to believe in themselves.
