Sivakarthikeyan penned an emotional statement remembering his late father G. Doss on the occasion of his 70th birth anniversary on Tuesday, June 27. Currently not handling his social media pages himself, an admin shared the leading Tamil actor-producer's WhatsApp status where he posted a picture of his father, who was a police officer, along with a heartfelt note he had written in his memory. Starting his note with the 'Dheivangal Ellam' song from his 2013 film, Kedi Billa Killadi Ranga, Sivakarthikeyan wrote, "whatever I do is all bcos of you appa, the values you taught me and the way you lived up to show how to support others silently irrespective of what we hv in our hand🙏🙏always a proud son..you will be remembered forever appa🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏(sic)".

Sivakarthikeyan also stated in another note that there's beauty in being called G. Doss' son rather than people addressing his late dad as Sivakarthikeyan's father. Having worked as a jailer in the Trichy prison, the late Doss earned a good name among the public and the prisoners for his compassion and his earnest efforts to reform them and set them on the right path. Sivakarthikeyan's father reportedly passed away due to natural causes two decades back, with the actor naming his son born in 2021 as Gugan Doss in his father's memory believing that he has been reborn.
