In a recent interview, actor Suriya opened up about his relationship with his wife and fellow actor, Jyotika. Describing her as his “teacher, guide, friend, and philosopher,” Suriya shared how she has been a significant influence in his life. He expressed his admiration for her by saying, “Sometimes you have people in your life who make you want to become a better person, that’s what Jyotika is to me.” Suriya added that although they are husband and wife, Jyotika is much more than that to him, being a supportive companion and friend. He shared how he often finds himself trying to match her qualities, admitting, “I try my best to be as good as Jyotika. I don’t think I can match it, but I try.”

The two actors first met in the early 2000s on the set of Poovellam Kettuppar and quickly formed a bond. Their shared interests and approach to life gradually brought them closer, leading to their marriage in 2006.

Since then, Suriya and Jyotika have built a strong relationship, often credited for their mutual respect and support of each other’s professional and personal growth. Together, they have two children and have always remained private about their family life, yet their respect and admiration for each other are evident in every public appearance and interview.

In recent years, both actors have balanced their individual projects while supporting one another’s endeavors. Suriya, has Kanguva up for release apart from several other ones lined up ahead.

Meanwhile, Jyotika has been exploring roles across different platforms and has already had a great year with two successful Bollywood films, Shaitaan and Srikanth. The couple is one of the most loved people in the entertainment industry across.
