Top Tamil actor Rajinikanth today visited a private hospital here and enquired about the health of Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam president M Karunanidhi, who is under intensive care for the fourth consecutive day.

"Kalaignar is a very senior political leader. He is now asleep," he told reporters outside Kauvery Hospital, where Karunanidhi is admitted since Saturday.
