Sivakumar?s gift to Karthi

The year was 2000. And Karthi, the younger son of Sivakumar, was leaving for the United States to pursue higher studies. When he was about to start from the house, his dotting dad gifted him a ?precious thing?- a book on MGR.

This was revealed by Sivakumar himself at a recent music concert in Chennai, which was organised by a Tamil monthly and a popular music troupe to commemorate the 93rd birth anniversary of the former Chief Minister. ?I gifted Karthi a book on MGR because the Makkal Thilakam was an example to all. Everyone should follow the way the matinee idol led his life in a simple way despite all the power, fame and wealth he had,? Sivakumar said.

Heaping more laurels on MGR, Sivakumar said, ?I had acted with him in two films- ?Kavalkaran? and ?Idhayaveenai?. I learnt a lot from him during the shooting of those movies. I wanted Karthi too to follow the footsteps of the Puratchi Thailaivar.?

Going down the memory lane, the actor said, ?MGR helped the needy a lot even at the time when he was a struggling actor. He never bothered about being hungry. All that he wanted was others should eat well.?
