Rajini Sir invited the 18-year-old prodigy, who defeated Ding Liren two Thursdays ago to become the youngest-ever world chess champion, to his Poes Garden home.
'Thanks Superstar @rajinikanth sir for your warm wishes and inviting, spending time and sharing your wisdom with us,' Gukesh noted alongside pictures of his family with Thalaiva.
