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.
