The actor continued by saying, “Life can change anytime,” and shared a story about his family’s financial struggles. He revealed how his mother told him about the Rs 25000 loan she took while serving him breakfast.

Mom said that our bank balance had never been more than one lakh or one and a half lakh, and Dad never insisted on his salary; he would just wait for it to come when it did. At that time, Dad hadn’t worked continuously for more than six months or ten months, and it made me realize what I was doing,” Suriya added.

The Jai Bhim star went on to say, “I came into the industry for the 25,000 rupees to give back to my mom and say, “Your loan is over, and you don’t have to worry. It’s been five or six months; you don’t have to tell Dad, but this money will come, and you can close the loan.” That’s how I started my career, and that’s how I became Suriya.”
