Recently a major Tamil daily published
news on certain actresses in a distasteful
manner and the Nadigar Sangam, in
support of the actresses, demanded
the arrest of the journalist. The
scribe was later arrested. The actors
including popular stars like Rajinikanth,
Sathyaraj, Suriya and others expressed
their anguish criticizing the daily
for defaming the artistes.
But there was an interpretation
by certain sections of the media
that the actors attacked the media
in general. Clarifying on this actor
Suriya has come out with a statement
elaborating on his relationship
with the media persons.
The actor stated that he had tendered
his support for the actresses who
were affected by the baseless news
published by the daily. While expressing
his concern on generalizing his
speech, Suriya said that he has
also been affected by such rumors
personally and during such times
only media friends had helped him
come out of the mess.
The star added that during the demonstration
he said that the press creates social
awareness among the people and they
show the right direction for the
public.
In his press statement he added
that as in every organization even
in the media there are some spurious
elements that hurt people with their
groundless stories and any individual
can raise their voice against them
and it is not necessary that they
should be an actor to do so.
Suriya said that certain media friends
have urged him to clarify the issue
and hence he had come out with a
statement accusing only those involved
in the wrongdoing and not the media
community as a whole.
The actor said that his family has
had a good relationship with the
media for over forty years. He thanked
his media friends for bringing this
point clear to all and he said he
respects the healthy relationship
he is enjoying with the media. |
