Actor Suriya is having a stellar year. He recently celebrated his 20th anniversary with Jyotika, with the couple renewing their vows in Scotland. After a dry spell, the actor also had two back-to-back hits with Karuppu and Vishwanath & Sons . Talking to fans at an event organised by the All India Suriya Fans Club, the actor seemed in a cheery mood as he asked them to spread love instead of engaging with ‘muttal’ (fools).

It is not uncommon in Kollywood for fans of big stars to troll on social media whenever a movie by a perceived rival is released. Suriya has also often been preyed upon by this during movie releases, with trolls nitpicking everything from his promotional material. His fans usually come to his defence, something he has now asked them not to do.
Suriya asks fans not to engage with ‘fools’
Some might grasp it, but the vast majority won’t. A video circulating on social media from the event shows Suriya addressing fans from the stage. “Let us sow only love. Trying to make them understand or change their minds is difficult. Don’t waste your energy. Sincerely pursue what you love, day in and day out, and success will surely follow.”
When we engage just because some fool has made a post on social media, we end up looking like fools, too and getting hurt,” he said, adding, “Let us simply be ourselves, and let them be themselves; there is no need for us to say anything.
