Suriya and Jyothika are one of the most beloved couples in the Indian film industry. Their relationship has captivated fans for years, and they often praise each other for being ideal partners.
However, their journey hasn’t always been smooth. From their initial meeting to facing opposition from Suriya’s father Sivakumar and finally getting married in 2006, their love story has seen many challenges. Despite these obstacles, Suriya and Jyothika have remained committed to each other.
How They First Met
Suriya and Jyothika first crossed paths on the set of the Tamil film Poovellam Kettuppar in 1999. By that time, Suriya had already appeared in a few films while Jyothika was still new to the Tamil film industry. Coming from Mumbai Jyothika found it difficult to speak Tamil fluently. Suriya played a significant role in helping her feel comfortable on set which laid the foundation for their relationship.
The Blossoming of Their Love
Suriya was impressed by Jyothika’s dedication to learning Tamil. Over time, he developed feelings for her. Both actors saw significant growth in their careers and their bond strengthened. In 2003, they starred together in Kaakha Kaakha directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon. It is believed that their romantic relationship began during this film’s production. They went on to act together in several other movies, including Sillunu Oru Kaadhal, Perazhagan, and Maayavi.
Their Marriage
Despite the deep connection between Suriya and Jyothika, their relationship faced external challenges, particularly from Suriya’s father, Sivakumar, who initially disapproved of their union due to religious differences. Eventually, Sivakumar gave his blessing and Suriya and Jyothika married on September 11, 2006, in Chennai with many celebrities in attendance.
Family Life
Suriya and Jyothika have two children, a daughter named Diya and a son named Dev. Recently, due to some tension between Suriya and his father Jyothika moved to Mumbai with their children to ensure they were raised in a harmonious environment. Despite these challenges, Suriya and Jyothika have continued to make public appearances together showing that their bond remains strong.
