"Exams Alone Don't Make Life": Actor Suriya's Appeal After NEET Suicides

Actor Suriya Sivakumar has reached out to students tormented by the matter of appearing for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), the mandatory entrance test for medical admission. In a 1.54 minute video in Tamil, the actor recalled his own "shameful low marks in exams" as he made an emotional appeal to students to not end their lives. The actor's appeal comes amid three suicides over the last one week by students over the fear of failure in the entrance test.
