Suriya’s Heartfelt Gesture: Returns Diamond Ring Gifted for ‘Retro’ Success

After the phenomenal success of Retro, actor Suriya was gifted a diamond ring in celebration — but what he did next has touched many hearts and sparked conversations online.

Retro, directed by Karthik Subbaraj and starring Suriya, was released recently and has become a major box-office success, grossing over ?100 crores worldwide. To mark the achievement, a grand success celebration was held in Chennai, attended by Suriya and the entire film crew.

During the event, Sakthivelan of Shakthi Film Factory — the distributor of Retro across Tamil Nadu — gifted Suriya a diamond ring as a token of appreciation. Expressing his joy, Sakthivelan said, “Retro has brought us the highest profit among all releases this year. This is a moment of immense pride.”

However, what followed was unexpected. Suriya, in a gracious gesture, returned the ring by slipping it back onto Sakthivelan’s finger, leaving him visibly moved. This act of humility and affection quickly became the highlight of the event.

An emotional Sakthivelan later said, “This is a moment I will never forget. Suriya gave me a beautiful surprise by returning the very same kind of gift at the Kadaikutty Singam success celebration. He’s done it again now. His gesture speaks volumes about the kind of person he is.”

Suriya’s thoughtful act has been widely praised by fans and industry peers alike, reinforcing his image as not just a star, but a man of humility and gratitude.
