“MGR sir himself immediately got off the train to buy her a cold drink. He finished his purchase but by then, the train had started moving. He had to run and jump onto the moving train.

“When Tirulokachander sir asked him why he had to go when we would have got it for him, MGR sir laughingly replied, “How will I get such thrills in Madras!”

“This is one incident of many that speaks of his lightness of being and caring, fun-loving nature.”
