Karthi moved by Suriya, Jyotika's kids donating pocket money towards educational charity: ‘Makes me happy'
Karthi moved by Diya, Dev's donation
At the Agaram Foundation's 15th anniversary celebrations in Chennai, students who benefited from the foundation revealed how their lives have changed. Suriya even got emotional after hearing their testimonies.
Karthi took to the stage to reveal that his niece and nephew, Diya and Dev, are also helping fund education for the needy through the Maadham 300 initiative. Revealing that the kids have been quietly contributing their pocket money to the initiative every month, he said, 'It really moved me and makes me happy. It shows how the value of giving is being passed down in this family.'
Jyotika's contribution to running it all
Karthi also praised his brother Suriya and sister-in-law Jyotika, saying she has been a pillar of support. He said, 'Suriya Anna always says it's enough if these children are able to study and grow in life. And whenever we face a financial crunch, Jyotika Anni reassures us, did we start this with money? We started this with love. Money will follow. If not for her support, Anna could not have come this far.'
He also pointed out that Jyotika was at the forefront while volunteering their foundation's help to hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic, despite their focus being on funding Tamil students' education. 'We always learn from what we see around us,' he said.
Suriya was last seen in Karthik Subbaraj's Retro, Jyothika last starred in the Netflix web series Dabba Cartel, and Karthi was seen in Prem Kumar's Meiyazhagan. He played a cameo in his brother's film Kanguva and provided voice-over for Siddharth's 3 BHK.

Wednesday season 3 is happening: Release hints, cast returns, and what's next
Netflix is not letting go of its spooky golden girl just yet. While season 2 of Wednesday is still unraveling, the streamer has already confirmed that a third installment is on the way. The announcement had dropped in July 2025, before season 2 even premiered. According to Netflix, Alfred Gough, co-creator and showrunner, said the plan for season 3 is simple: 'Our goal for season 3 is the same as it is for every season: to make it the best season of Wednesday we possibly can. We want to continue digging deeper into our characters while expanding the world of Nevermore and Wednesday.' Netflix confirmed that a third installment of Wednesday is on the way on July 2025. Co-showrunner Miles Millar backed that up, adding, 'We will be seeing more Addams Family members and learning more family secrets in season 3!' As for when we will actually see the next season of Wednesday is still unclear. Season 2 faced delays, partly due to the WGA strikes in 2023. If things go smoother this time around, we might not have to wait as long, but it is still likely a few years out.

But not all characters are expected to return to the third season. Who is exiting: Donovan Galpin (Jamie McShane), Laurel Gates (Christina Ricci), Dr Rachael Fairburn (Thandiwe Newton), and Xavier Thorpe (Percy Hynes White). That is confirmed. Here is who we do expect back, according to Radio Times. Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams Emma Myers as Enid Sinclair Hunter Doohan as Tyler Galpin Joy Sunday as Bianca Barclay Moosa Mostafa as Eugene Georgie Farmer as Ajax Victor Dorobantu as Thing Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo as Sheriff Ritchie Santiago Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester Billie Piper as Isadora Capri Steve Buscemi as Principal Barry Dort Joanna Lumley as Grandmama Hester Frump Also read: Wednesday season 2 review: Jenna Ortega gets gloomier, show gets darker, and it's all still a delight Where the story might go next Plot-wise, things are pretty vague. But judging by past patterns, we will likely see Wednesday head back to Nevermore Academy to unravel yet another bizarre mystery. Millar's tease about more family secrets hints at deeper Addams lore in season 3, which fans are definitely ready for. The episode count has not been confirmed, but it is a safe bet we will get another eight - just like seasons 1 and 2. At present, season 2 part 1 is streaming now on Netflix. FAQs Will there be Wednesday season 3? Yes, Netflix officially confirmed season 3 in July 2025. Is Wednesday season 2 coming to Netflix in 2025?

Chief Minister Stalin presents awards to Tamil scholars at Kamban Vizha 2025
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Friday said literary events such as Kamban Vizha should not only highlight the richness and glory of Tamil literature but also nurture that literary sensibility among the younger generation. Speaking at Kamban Vizha 2025 organised by the Chennai Kamban Kazhagam, Mr. Stalin said: 'In his poems, Kambar stressed the need for social harmony and unity. Today, Tamil Nadu takes the lead in terms of both social and economic growth indicators, as envisioned by Kambar.' He said the Dravidian movement viewed the Kamba Ramayana from a different perspective, praising the work for its poetry and the richness of its Tamil. He also said that during the tenure of former Chief Minister C.N. Annadurai, a statue of Kambar was installed near Marina beach, and recalled the participation of former Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi in Kamban Vizha held in Karaikudi in 1969 and in Chennai in 1999. He also commended the efforts of S. Jagathrakshakan, Lok Sabha Member and president of the Chennai Kamban Kazhagam, in propagating the works of the poet. The Chief Minister released the Kamban Kalai Kalanjiyam book and presented the Kavi Chakravarthi Kambar Award, instituted by the Azhwargal Aaivu Maiyam, to Tamil poet and lyricist Vairamuthu, and the Iyattramizh Arignar Award of the Kamban Kazhagam to Tamil scholars T. Gnanasundaram, Pazha. Pazhaniappan, Saradga Nambi Arooran, Suki Sivam and Ilankai Jeyaraj, and the Kambar Kalainaya Chelvar Award to film director S.P. Muthuraman. Ministers of the Tamil Nadu government, MPs, MLAs, and Tamil scholars were among others present.
