Suriya and Jyotika are one of the most loved couples of the South Indian film industry. They are also parents two kids
The couple recently attended the Ambani wedding and presented their culture through their attire. While Jyotika worea gorgeous silk saree, Suriya opted for a mundu and shirt
Jyotika took to Instagram to share pictures from their photoshoot they did before attending the Ambani wedding
Suriya and Jyotika first met on the sets of the Tamil film 'Poovellam Kettuppar' in 1999
Suriya who hails from Tamil Nadu and a film family had already done a few movies by then. But for Jyotika, it was one of her first Tamil movies, making it hard for her to adjust to the language. Suriya stepped in and helped her with her dialogues
Later in 2003, Suriya and Jyotika acted in the film 'Kaakha Kaakha', directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon. It is believed that the couple started dating during the filming of 'Kaakha Kaakha'
Since then, the couple has worked together in several other films such as Sillunu Oru Kaadhal, Perazhagan, Maayavi, and so on
Suriya and Jyotika do not often share pictures of their kids on social media. They had posted this picture of their kids posing with their National Awards for their jointly produced film 'Soorarai Pottru'. The film also earned Suriya a National Award
Jyothika took a hiatus from acting after marriage and moved from Mumbai to Chennai. The couple were then blessed with two children - Diya in 2007 and Dev in 2010

Showering praises on Suriya in an interview, Jyotika had said, "I’m not saying this lightly. He is very sincere as a father. Not just as a father, even as a husband, he is very sincere. Seeing the way Surya conducts himself, the husbands nearby would be warned by their wives saying ‘Look at him’. He has not forgotten any of the good days till now. He remembers everything"
Jyotika made a power-packed comeback in 2015 with the Tamil film '26 Vayadhinile'. She then went on to do character-driven films like 'Udanpirappe', 'Ponmagal Vandhal', 'Kaathal – The Core', 'Srikanth' among others
