Surya was born in a family with a filmy background, his brother; wife and father are all renowned actors.

His character of Nandha in the movie Nandha was considered as a breakthrough role of his career which afterwards earned him a Filmfare Award. Suriya together with his wife Jyothika is the originator of Agaram Foundation which supports school dropout kids to assimilate. Surya’s father, brother, and wife are actors; hence, we can say that he belongs to a filmy background. To avoid any confusion of name with the actor Saravanan, director Mani Ratnam gave him the name Suriya. He got an offer from a director when he passed his 10th standard, but he went on to complete his graduation in Commerce as he wasn’t confident about his looks and height. Before starting his acting career, he worked for three years as a merchandising manager in a garment factory. He and his wife Jyothika are founders of Agaram Foundation, which helps school drop out children to rehabilitate. He loves to spend time in recording, story discussions, and editing to groom himself as he has a dream to direct a film. Suriya was born as Saravanan on 23 July 1975 in Chennai, Tamil Nadu to Tamil film actor Sivakumar and his wife Lakshmi. He attended Padma Seshadri Bala Bhavan School[6] and St. Bede’s Anglo Indian Higher Secondary School in Chennai, and obtained his under graduate degree B.Com from Loyola College, Chennai.

They have two children. In 2008, Suriya began the Agaram Foundation, working to help children who drop out of school early in Tamil Nadu. With the Ministry of Education in Tamil Nadu, he created a short commercial video outlining child poverty, labour and lack of education, titled Herova? Zerova?. The film was written and produced by Sivakumar and also starred Joseph Vijay, R. Madhavan and Jyothika. Agaram has sponsored 159 underprivileged students in 2010 for their higher education in various disciplines. With the firm belief that the educated mind can not only eliminate social evils but also aid in the socio-economic upbringing of the society, Agaram Foundation works towards providing appropriate learning opportunities to the rural populace who do not otherwise have access to quality education. Suriya, along with his father and brother, has also extended help towards the education of Sri Lankan Tamil children on behalf of the Sivakumar Charitable Trust. He is also an active participant in other philanthropic works such as “Save The Tigers” campaign, which aids in the protection and preservation of Tigers in India, and “REACH”, a non-profit organisation that cures TB patients for free using supervised medication programs.
