- Like his shadow, he stands near Gukesh. He looks calm on the exterior, but there is always some tension running underneath that calm demeanour. His job is to take care of Gukesh. But it's not a simple one as he is both the father and the manager. In this interview we get to know the role played by Rajinikanth in making sure that Gukesh becomes the champion at the FIDE Candidates 2024. We also get his thoughts on the beautiful team that he is building around Gukesh - from Gajewski the trainer to Sandeep Singhal (WestBridge) the sponsor. A revealing and heartfelt interview.

Rajni sir was my senior at UG days and my college cricket team captain too being a great all-rounder with tremendous abilities in every aspect of cricket be it bowling batting or keeping, sport in his blood 👏👏👏
Which college btw?
Great❤❤
Good Sir
What a parent ..What a man.. So rooted , grounded.. what a son.. This is who we are as a culture, as a society .. God bless and protect this precious family.. one feels so proud ..
this is what India used to be. Its so rare now. Our generation is the last to have such a grounded parenting.
Family is the first factor of the success, Gukesh's father proves that... Congrats from Turkey... Wish success for the World Championship match...
Now we know where does the cool and calm attitude of Gukesh comes from.
Where? 😢
@@thelegend7406 his dad
@@shailexplores9323thanks
@@shailexplores9323 ok but he said that he doenst have gukeshs calmness..
Gukesh is more like his mom. Both are sigma
What an inspiring testament to the power of parental support🧡 Rajinikanth's unwavering dedication to his son Gukesh's chess journey is truly heartwarming🧡Bhagwan bless this family🧡
A great father who respects professional boundaries. How rare is this.
Kudos to Aruna ma'am and vishy sir... Great service to the country and players
Bruh not just Magnus, even his father didn't expect him to win XD , Gukesh really won against all odds!!
Dr. Rajniganth seems to be a great support system for the talent that is Gukesh. To manage the responsibility as a parent and also let the 17 year old all to himself in his career trusting Gukesh and his coaches.
Congratulations to you too, Dr. Rajniganth
Gukesh's success story is so noble and joyous -- would make a great movie 😉
Still to reach the successful conclusion.then it will be complete 💯✅
Rajinikanth is such a honest & so down to earth person
What a wonderful father! I loved the anecdote about Guki’s mom being confident about him winning the Candidates!! So so happy for them all!! 🎉
Thank you Sagar for this interview! 😊
25:40 what he’s saying about “he just wants to be left alone” and “the more i don’t talk the happier he is” is such a typical teenage thing! it may sound rude and ungrateful, but dr rajnikanth has understood his son perfectly. gukesh, i’m sure is SO grateful to his dad for accompanying him and helping him but i totally understand that he’d rather chit chat with gayewski
What a person he is 🔥🔥
Now I get to know
Mr. Rajnikanth is a gem 💎 ... Can see through his words and clarity of thought. ❤❤❤
Respect his Father for supporting Gukesh. You need a calm hand of a parent guiding the aspiring chess players. Considering the vicissitudes in sports, nothing like home support. Congratulations to you, Sir and your family for being a pillar of support to Gukesh. 👏👏👏
16:50 What a guy, deserves all the credit in the world
Aah. That’s the secret for Gukesh. RAJNIKANTH!
Closing ceremony candidate 2024 kab upload hogi??
Nice to see Gukesh's father avoiding taking any credit for his son's accomplishments. A great quality indeed. We all know gukesh wouldn't be where he is without his father.
A justifiably proud and blessed father! 🙋🇮🇳
I would've won if my father's name was also Rajnikant
💀 my fathers name is just the first half, RAJ. So I didn’t make it out of there either don’t worry 😉
@@ThatGambitGuy you should've atleast made a draw with that half.
@@No_One1231 Ahahaha yes but all draws is still equivalent to no wins lol 😝
@@ThatGambitGuy better than losing though :p
Very humble man, congrats once again Dommaraju sr.
Proud Father'
Nice interview. He looks like a well adjusted father and a good loving parent. Unlike some other chess parents who force their kids into it.
Don’t forget the parents who have a chess talent but refuse to support them because they think chess is a waste of time
Such a great set of parents for Gukesh. Pillar of support....
What a crazy championship we are going to have, there is also an interesting way Ding Liren got the spot last time (full drama) and now THE GUKESH. Beautiful chess 😉
Amazing interview. What an amazing, self effacing and down to earth dad. You can see why Gukesh is so grounded.
Beautiful interview ❤😊...so honest, sagar really makes sure he is comfortable, such free flowing interview
Great man, proud moment for him, congrats for the whole Gukesh's family and all of India.
This is easily one of my top 5 favourite videos on Chessbase India ♥️
Kudos, Sagar!
Wow! This is such a heartwarming interview. Don’t think I have seen such an authentic interview in the long time. The level of humbleness and honesty is at the next level, loved it!!!
Thanks Sagar and team for a nice interview! Enjoyed it.
great video, love the way rajnikanth explained his emotions
Amazing interview! Rajinikanth's forthrightness is commendable & thanks to Sagar as always
If you can dream and visualize your dream to the core reality, you can achieve it ! Amazing inspiration Gukesh and his parents for unwavering support !!!
We need an interview with gukesh mom also.
The image that will remain with me is when Gukesh won a game, exited the venue, made it through the raucous crowd of fans, and entered the awaiting van to the hotel. Gukesh immediateky turned and locked eyes on his dad to ensure dad also made it through the crowd safely. That was all the information I needed. 👍
Wonderful interview! I loved the candor and simplicity of Gukesh's father.
Sir, thanks for giving us this wonderful prodigy
Sugar, your videos are too sweet! Thanks for these insights

No wonder Gukesh has broken all records with ‘Rajinikanth’ having his back!
Very good policy. From the first moment all interviews in English language. Ding Liren belongs to a part of old history. I am happy to see a young world champ who can make chess more popular around the world. Congratulations Gukesh, congratulations India.
Amazing insights. Thanks Sagar, thanks Rajanikanth ji!
Thank you Saghar 😊 for this wonderful interview again with Gukesh's dad.
This was so cool interview. The backstory is so good to hear. So much insight from last 1 year✨🥳. Loved it every bit 👏❤️!!. His dad revealed everything which we need to hear, thank you sir . Thank you sagar Bhai and CBI 🥳 ❤🎉✨
Wonderful interview. Loved hearing a parent
This family is so humble.
So many times he took Gajewski's name!. Amazing, Great going Gukesh D and dad!. You are making whole India proud!
Gukesh's father reminds me a lot of Heinrik Carlsen. He also takes a hands off approach much like Rajinikanth.
thanks Mr.Rajnkanth
Making parents proud is the biggest acheivement in anyone's life.
Great respect to gukesh's father. So much of sacrifice. Respect to you sir
What a nice guy.. truly Indian chess is in great hands 👌 😊
Great interview with thalaiva!
Best interview of candidates
Superb interview Sagar
Congregations sir ❤ please gukesh mom vedeo we have wanted to see soon proud moment for our country
ecellent narration...Rajnikanth is indeed a superstar!!!
Congratulations 🎉
what a proud moment for a father :D
He must be so proud of his son. Hopefully his son can win what matters most and secure his place in history. As is his son has made it to the Super Bowl of chess.
He is an ENT surgeon...somewhat sacrificed his career for the son❤❤❤
Admirable man.
Super proud dad
Damn, every father is critical and have low but realistic expectations huh? And every mother thinks their son is the greatest hahaha 😆
Also Aruna Anand is a real pillar, had been for Vishy and now for these Chennai kids as well!! The modern western world could really learn a thing or two about the power of making sacrifices and taking responsibilities in relationships..
Yes . Einstein was dropped out from 5 schools and teachers advised his mother ur child is a dumb go &tk care of him.That poor jewish lady was not accepting it and trained him in basic maths and schooling...Rest is history❤❤❤
Loved the way he wore tilak on his head. Sanatani to the core.
Gukesh's father remind me of Magnus' father.
Congratulations gukesh and parents Rajnikanth sir
Indian parents and them Underplaying themselves..❤
gotta be a happy dad.
Mind blowing father 🎉👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Great contribution and support by his father and family. Gukesh great talent and good times . When possible recollect backups from Sagar Shah (look sagar old collection Sagar constantly following through ups and downs of Pragg, Gukesh, Vidit), coach Ramesh, Vishy, Karmnik, Boris Gelfand, WACA, TN Govt and Indian Govt.
Sir first you are a champion because you have raised a champion Gukeesh pride of Bharat.
What a superb boy
Very good interview Shah
Editor sahab closing ceremony record kiya hai to jaldi jaldi upload karo. Itna tarpa kahe rahe ho, main mar geya to ek view kam ho jayega sagar 150 rupeya kat lega.
Jaldi upload karo
He is focused too. Not even checking who is calling
This man needs to write a book of how to raise children.
Most dad experience
Family matters so much. Gukesh displays the same humility and that’s a reason he will be the world champion. Sachin Tendulkar, Vishy Anand, Rahul Dravid…and someday Gukesh will join the list of confident but humble champions.
understated how strong of a character his father is... its all in the genes
2 Gentlemen, thank you
17:47 shots fired... dammmm jibe directed towards those who did marketing...
Congrats sir, you raised a champion. You are too humble and are downplaying your contributions, thank you for bringing pride to the nation.
Nice interview!
❤❤❤
I know his family is proud of Gukesh's chess, but I'd be equally proud of the way he conducts himself. They've done a great job.
Feeling bad for his cousins , 😢😢
Mr. Rajnikanth I have read you are a surgeon.and in your interview you come across as a gentle, trusting human being. Your son is now into big money territory where he is likely to attract all kinds of people and I hope you take the help of some good, trustworthy lawyers before signing any contacts so your son's and family's future is properly secured.
Of course his name his Rajinikanth. Sharing a name with Thalaiva himself. 🫡
You can just compare Gukesh father, Magnus father and Alireza father...
I plead with the media not to distract this young fellow from his preparation of his finals with DL. AND PS DO NOT OVERHYPE HIM
Thanks!
Thank you!
Rajinikanth here also Super Star.
Handsome
2:13 that's DHONI face that's very true sir
