My inspiration is Chiranjeevi sir, Suriya says on his social work

Southern heartthrob Suriya is an established name in the world of cinema and is one of the best actors in India too. But not only with his acting prowess, he has won millions of hearts with his kind-hearted nature and his contribution to society through his Agaram Foundation. When asked about his motivation behind his social activities he gave all credit to yesteryear superstar Chiranjeevi.

Suriya explained, "My inspiration is Chiranjeevi sir. With the Blood Bank, he showed what difference he is going to make to the society as an actor and a celebrity. I mayn't create a big impact as Chiranjeevi, but even if I could contribute 0.1 percent for a good cause I am happy. Of course, My dad Shivakumar has been doing social service for the past 34 years. I started Agaram Foundation which now produced 700 students who would be soon going to colleges. A lot of volunteers and corporate companies have been supportive of our foundation and invested so much time & money towards the initiative. Without their cooperation this couldn't have been possible.” Agaram Foundation, a non-profit organisation, works for under-privileged children providing quality education. We wish Suriya more success in his charitable work.
