Actor Suriya has urged students to spend less time scrolling through Instagram Reels and explore long-form podcasts and online research to gain deeper knowledge. Speaking at the 47th anniversary celebration of the Sivakumar Educational Trust, he encouraged students to learn from the real-life journeys of successful personalities rather than simply consuming short videos.
Suriya also compared life to filmmaking, reminding students that setbacks are not the end and there is always another chance to succeed. Reflecting on his own 30-year acting journey, he spoke about consistent improvement and gratitude, urging students to help others when they achieve success. The event also saw financial assistance worth ₹13.78 lakh distributed to students and educational institutions.
