Here’s how Karthi’s cousin came to his help without being asked for it!

One reason why actor Sivakumar’s sons – Surya and Karthi — are so successful in their careers is because of the love and support that they get from their family members. It is no secret that all the members of their family are united by a strong bond of love.

For instance, the bond between Karthi and Surya is as strong as their bond with their cousins — producers Gnanavel Raja and S R Prabhu.

Speaking about the bond he has with cousins and relatives, Karthi says, “The advantage of staying close to family is that they will come to your aid even before you think about asking them for it. For instance, when I was constructing my new home, some issues cropped up. My cousin, who is a civil engineer, called up of his own accord, sorted out the issues and completed the project within a short span of time. How do you think this happens? It’s not based on overnight bonding, but something which we nurtured and cherished from our childhood.”

The actor rues that however, today, many have taken a liking for western culture, which is about asking for privacy.

Says the actor, “In fact, the reason I came back from the US was that I found more joy in family and relations rather than leading a lonely life around skyscrapers.”

The actor’s next film, Kadaikutty Singam, will be an entertainer that will stress on the love in a family. The film has been directed by Pandiraj and features Karthi, Sayyesha Saigal, Priya Bhavani Shankar, Sathyaraj and Bhanupriya among others.
