The other day, we reported about Kamal Haasan attending an event celebrating the Suriya-owned Agaram Foundation's 15 years of existence in the service sector. The actor has now taken to social media to pen a long note addressing Suriya about how he felt being part of the event. Calling Suriya, Jyotika, Brindha, and Karthi as part of his "extended family", Kamal said that it was a "moment of joy" for him to join them on the celebrations. The nonprofit organisation has reportedly aided 6,700 first-generation students in making their higher education ambitions real. Speaking about the organisation's achievement, Kamal wrote, "The doctors, innovators, and thought leaders emerging from Agaram are not merely individual triumphs, they are living testaments to what education can accomplish when nurtured by compassion and a sense of public service."
The actor said that Suriya and his Agaram Foundation team have started "a silent revolution, nurturing one child, one dream at a time." He added that more than the numbers, the "enduring transformations it has sparked" will serve as a measurement of the foundation's work. He also underscored the social impact that Suriya has made through his charitable organisation. "It shall be said that while your name lit up screens and stages, it gleamed even more enduringly in the quiet triumphs of those you uplifted, the generations who carry forward the light you lit."
Kamal's note comes at a time when he is facing flak from Sanatana Dharma and BJP supporters for his comments against the national government and Hinduism at the recent event. He criticised the NEET exam, arguing that it could not produce a group of qualified doctors like Suriya's foundation. He also spoke against Sanatana Dharma. For the uninitiated, Sanatana Dharma refers to the eternal duties and principles of Hinduism. Kamal essentially linked Sanatana Dharma with dictatorship and implied that only education can free people from both.
