Actor Suresh Gopi shared a self-deprecating birthday post on social media that quickly caught attention. Alongside a photo of himself cutting a cake, he wrote: 'Birthday Boy SURA is all love and only love for all!' The name 'Sura' is a nickname frequently used by trolls when referring to the actor, making the post a light-hearted nod to the online chatter around him.

The post soon went viral. When a user commented, 'Everyone has now turned even the elder statesman into a troll,' it was Suresh Gopi’s son, Madhav, who stepped in with a calm response: 'Sura isn’t a troll, my friend. Sura is a feeling.' Madhav also took the time to respond to several other comments, prompting many to wonder if he was the one who actually posted the message on behalf of his father.
