In a letter to the SIAA, actor Suriya has expressed his disappointment on the 'Ugly spat' happened during the Nadigar Sangam election. He also said that the latest elections had given many lessons to the actors and that 'many regrettable incidents had happened.' "Personal attacks were carried out in the name of criticism. Responsibilities delivered by those while in office were described as favours. Divisions in the name of caste, language and race were made even while insisting that actors were from one family," he said.

The actor also advised the new office bearers to set an example for the next generation to follow. It has also reported that the actor has contributed Rs. 10 lakh for the welfare of Nadigar Sangam.
