He was the teenage heartthrob with a string of hits. Then he reveled in comedy as well. But attitude problems and indiscipline cost him his career. His personal life was in a mess and he was caught in a debt trap. Now, the good man seems to have come out of all his troubles and found solace in social service. He has launched a charitable organization called Saranalayam through which he intends to help the poor with educational and medical facilities. He has organized a meeting in Madurai to popularize his outfit and mop up funds. He also has plans to get back to his acting career. Keep up the good work, Karthik!
