Suriya in his letter on the micro-blogging site stated that hospitals and schools should be maintained just like temples are. “A comment made by my wife Jyothika at an award function long ago has been doing the rounds online and has led to debates as well. Jyothika has put forth the thought that as temples are held in high regard, schools and hospitals should be maintained in the same regard.

He added, “Such thoughts have also been espoused by spiritual leaders like Vivekanandha. Serving people is like serving God, and this is a belief that has been held in our society for a long time, even by people like Thirumoolar. But those who don’t follow these writings or learning, won’t even try to understand this.”

Here's Jyothika's Speech: 

Jyothika in her speech at an award show had narrated an incident where she expressed how while shooting for her film 'Raatchasi’ she visited a temple in Tamil Nadu which looked like a palace. On the other hand, when she visited a hospital for the shoot, the condition there was bad. And so the actress had made the comparison and urged one and all to donate. Stay tuned!
