தமிழ் சினிமாவின் முன்னணி நடிகர்களில் ஒருவரான சிவகார்த்திகேயன், தனது மகள் ஆராதனா குறித்த தகவல் ஒன்றினை சமீபத்தில் பகிர்ந்து கொண்டுள்ளார்.
அதில், " என் மகளுக்கு நாலரை வயதாகிறது. இதுவரையில் பீட்சா, பர்கர், பனினி ஆகிய உணவுப்பொருட்களில் ஒரு சிறு துண்டினைக் கூட அவள் சாப்பிட்டதில்லை.
மேலும், அதுபோன்ற பொருட்கள் உடலுக்குக் கேடு விளைவிக்கும் என்பதால் விளம்பரங்களில் நடிப்பதில்லை என, நானும் முடிவெடுத்து அதுபோலவே நடந்து வருகிறேன்," என்றார்.
Sivakarthikeyan in a recent event has disclosed that he hasn't given any junk food, like burger, pizza, etc, to his 4-year-old daughter.
Talking about taking up a sensitive and important social issue, in Velaikkaran, Sivakarthikeyan said, "I stopped drinking soft drinks and packed drinks, some 8 - 9 years back, and it was my personal decision. I thought that food isn't healthy for my body, and I stopped. And when I got to know I am going to speak against those commercially packaged drinks in Velaikkaran, I got excited.
Many of them felt that there could have been more comedy and one more song in the film, but to all of them, Velaikkaran wasn't a movie of that kind. The film intended to convey a strong social message, and about an issue, that we do not really know about.
There is also another decision I made through this film, not to act in advertisements. My daughter is 4.5 years old. She hasn't eaten a single piece of a burger, panini, or pizza or anything of that sort. She hasn't consumed any cold drinks. I haven't given her. That is why I decided not to act in advertisements. Just because people are ready to spend money on a product, how can I persuade a person to buy a drink, when I myself am not giving it to my daughter?
I feel, through Velaikkaran, Mohan Raja sir has conveyed an important message, keeping me as a medium, and it has indeed reached quite a lot of people. It is so heartwarming, and has earned a good name for our team among the public."
