Actor Suriya Shares Financial Struggles Led to Acting Career and Early Challenges
Tamil actor Suriya revealed that financial difficulties at home led him to pursue acting, a career he had not initially planned. He learned on the job and was motivated by the need to support his family, especially his mother. Co-star Radhika Sarathkumar recalled his early shyness and praised his growth. Suriya also shared that a minister's comment early in his career prompted him to establish his own identity separate from his father, actor Sivakumar. He acknowledged missing early years of his daughter due to work commitments.
