For the unversed, Rajinikanth had met the UP CM at the latter's residence in Lucknow. In the latest entertainment news, Rajinikanth has finally broken his silence on the entire incident, saying it is his habit to touch the feet of Yogis or Sanyasis.

“Whether a sanyasi or a yogi, it is my habit to fall at their feet even if they are younger than me. That’s what I did,” he told reporters, as reported by news agency PTI.
