The spotlight is currently on Surya Sethupathi, who recently made his film debut with Phoenix. As the son of an established actor, Vijay Sethupathi, there has been a hint of quiet scrutiny towards Surya, being labeled as a ‘nepo-kid’. However, the newcomer has spoken out about this issue and shared his thoughts on it.
Does Surya mind being tagged as a nepo kid?
In a recent chat with News18 Showsha, Surya openly discussed the topic of nepotism and how it’s often perceived that he’s enjoyed advantages due to his lineage as the son of renowned actor Vijay Sethupathi.
In simpler terms, the Phoenix actor stated that he’s fine with being labeled as a “nepo-kid,” which essentially means his dad has created a notable legacy. What mattered most to him was surpassing his father’s efforts and shattering the boundaries set by him.
Surya stated, “Go ahead and label someone as a ‘nepo kid,’ meaning their family has some kind of established reputation, correct? If that’s the case, then as a ‘nepo kid,’ your main task is to work even harder than your parents. You’ve got a significant hurdle to overcome, but it will provide you with countless valuable lessons through the struggles.
Surya revealed getting Rs 500 from his father for daily expenses
During the unveiling of his first movie, Surya drew notice as he shared that he overcame numerous difficulties from his childhood before finally breaking into the film industry.
He also pointed out that his dad would only provide him with Rs. 500 a day for expenses, and it’s here in this place that he aims to succeed in the film industry.
He’s sharing that he’s here due to difficulties he faced from his early years. His father provides him with 500 rupees each day to cover costs, and he’s aiming to succeed in the film industry as a result.
