Actor Suriya, a prominent figure in Tamil cinema, and his wife Jyothika were spotted at the Mumbai airport with their children.
On Sunday, the couple was captured as they arrived at the airport, stepping out of their car alongside their kids, Diya and Dev. Demonstrating his role as a devoted family man, Suriya walked closely with his family, guiding them toward the terminal.
The family opted for casual attire. Suriya sported a pastel brown polo t-shirt paired with beige trousers, while Jyothika preferred comfort with a floral-patterned shirt on the wrist and white pants.
Suriya and Jyothika are one of the most celebrated couples in Tamil cinema, known for their enduring partnership rather than flashy public displays. They first met in the late 1990s and shared screen space in numerous films including ‘Poovellam Kettuppar’, ‘Perazhagan’, and ‘Sillunu Oru Kaadhal’.
Their professional collaborations paralleled the growth of their off-screen relationship, which became public in the early 2000s. During this time, Jyothika faced intense media scrutiny and industry pressures regarding their relationship, particularly claims suggesting that leading actresses should refrain from dating or marrying. This led to a gradual decline in her film appearances.
Suriya, on the other hand, focused on building his career, gaining both commercial and critical acclaim with movies like ‘Ghajini’ and ‘Vaaranam Aayiram’. They tied the knot on September 11, 2006, in a private ceremony in Chennai, attended by family and close friends. Following their marriage, Jyothika took a step back from full-time acting to concentrate on family, while Suriya continued to diversify his work in both mainstream and experimental cinema.
In 2015, Jyothika made her comeback with ‘36 Vayadhinile’, followed by impactful films like ‘Magalir Mattum’ and ‘Raatchasi’. Recently, the couple also ventured into producing through their company, 2D Entertainment, championing films with strong social messages and character-driven narratives. Their relationship is characterized by stability, individual career growth, and a low-profile public presence.
Jyothika was also recently seen in the superhit film ‘Shaitaan’.
