Later I joined as a salesman in toy shop…After that I became a reporter…then I started my film career as a film producer to know the nuances of film making…..What I learnt in my life was enormous. I faced many debacles in my life…. so from a salesman to a film actor to a businessman to an investor to a person in public life through politics, I am here before you in Madurai today,” veteran actor Sarathkumar has said in a tone of humility, humbleness and his from the heart feelings.

I believe in God and destiny. So, my suggestion to you from my real life is that today’s young generation must learn to create and explore the opportunities.
