I just watched the video of the function when he announced the baby's name. It was the Sivakumar Trust's 28th anniversary celebration, and the video lasted over an hour, and I was watching the whole video just to hear him talk abt the baby, and beleive my luck, those few sentences that he told abt the baby came at the very end of the whole 1 hour video. It was very boring until that point, Kaarthik, Shivakumar, and Surya talking endlessly abt this, that and everything. And to top it all, Surya read a 100 page agreement on him adopting some school.I had to listen to each and every sentence, because I didn't know when he would talk abt the aby, and I learnt what it is like to be PATIENT! 😆
OK,on Surya's words, he finished his speech like this
"I just want to share a small news with you all,{At this point the widest smile ever appeared on his face, 😳 and I knew what I was waiting for had come}, I hope you all know abt my ..erm, daughter{he couldn't complete properly because he couldn't stop smiling!}, she's fine, the mother and daughter are both fine, we've named her 'Divya', me and Jo have named her Diya..ya , Diya, not Divya, sorry......so, thats all!" 😆
And the crowd went wild!!!!!!!!!Claaping and applauding!
And the most sweetest thing is that he called his baby 'en ponnu'!!!!! 😳 I found that really sweet!'Ammavum ponnum saukyamayirikku...........'Is that what Tamilians normally call girl babies??I don't know!
I might have misunderstood, never having able to understand Tamil properly, but at the begining of his speech, Surya said something abt his father, and how great a dad he is, and that now he's also an 'appa',he will make sure he'll be the same like his dad! Might have been something else that he was talking abt, he was talking real fast!But he said somethign abt 'appa'. Am positive abt that! 😆
He didn't say much, but I'm postive that he's extremely excited, because until that point, he was very serious, reading that stupid agreement, and the moment he began talking abt his daughter, he wouldn't stop smiling!!!!!
I wud love to hear Jo talking abt Diya too.......
Btw, a lot of pics in which Jo definitely looks pregnant are out now, which were completely unavailable when she was expecting. And the best thing is that Surya is always there with her, no matter if she's shopping for sarees or at Yoga classes or at other functions.....he wouldn't leave her out alone, see, even when he was shooting for 2 movies!
