Chennai: In the wake of wild rumours and speculative reports about his health, Tamil superstar Rajinikanth's family and the hospital treating him on Thursday said he was "fine, doing well" and there was nothing to worry. Latha Rajinikanth, wife of the 61-year-old actor, said he was comfortable and recovering well after being treated for problems relating to stomach and respiratory infection. Dispelling the anxiety among thousands of fans, she said he was moved to Intensive Care Unit of the Sri Ramachandra Hospital here because it was a "protected place" and he was getting "complete protection in a sterile environment." To a question as to what warranted his continuance in ICU, she said: "Rajini has a normal human body. He is not a super human. He is down with infection." Appealing to the fans and well-wishers not to believe rumours about his health, Latha also asked them to respect their privacy. "Don't worry about his health and don't get scared by high-sounding medical terminology," she said. "The media should not put out misleading reports...please help us, please give the family our privacy," she told reporters. Latha said initially Rajinikanth had a stomach infection and later respiratory infection which caused some imbalance. Steps are being taken to restore the balance, she said.
