Karthi, who is two years younger than Suriya, had said that the two brothers used to get into massive fights when they were younger. But things got better after they spent some time apart. "Until I left for the US to study, we both had best and worst of fights. We used to roll on the floor, that’s how bad it was (laughs). We used to fight for cars, clothes and two boys in the house, you can imagine it was fireworks always," Karthi had told Pinkvilla in an interview.
The Ponniyin Selvan star also said that when he left, they missed each other and eventually they became friends. "We found a space where we could talk to each other and friends. After that, he became like a dad to me. He started taking care of me so much and made sure I didn’t face the problems he faced. He went through a lot…"

Karthi also recalled how Suriya has been there for him even with regards to his career. "Though my father was an actor, he wasn’t somebody who would do anything for our career. So, my brother took care of those things for me, from my first film. He was there like a little dad to me. That’s how our relationship transformed from siblings fighting and gradually he became more and more responsible. I’m very proud of him. He has a large heart and always keeps me saying, 'keep growing'," he added.
