When no one can’t Rajini can, CBSE tells you why:

LUDHIANA: Gags apart, Rajinikanth is not a superstar for more than flamboyant clothes and gravity defying stunts. His real stunt is his the journey of his life from bus conductor to one of the most famous entertainers around the world. It is Rajini's resilience and focus that the Central Board of Secondary Education wants students to learn as part of their school curriculum.

The actor's life story will be taught to students of Class VI in CBSE affiliated schools. The focus will be on the dignity of work Rajini espoused, treating his job as bus conductor and his work as a celebrated actor with equal respect. The CBSE initiative is aimed at motivating children to achieve success with hard work and dedication rather than looking for short cuts. The lesson is from the perspective of Rajinikanth's close friend Rao Bahadur who was the driver of the bus in which Rajni was a conductor.

As the actor turned 62 on the much hyped 12-12-12, the CBSE initiative gave his birthday celebrations an extra zing.
