Chennai: Actress Jyotika has opened up about her long-standing marriage with Tamil superstar Suriya, describing their relationship as one built on balance, mutual support and understanding.
The couple, who have been married since 2006, are among the most admired pairs in South Indian cinema. They have two children Diya and Dev and have often spoken publicly about their family life and shared responsibilities.
‘Marriage is about balance’
In an exclusive interview, Jyotika said that a successful marriage is not one-sided, but works through constant adjustment and support from both partners.
She explained that both she and Suriya support each other’s careers and personal responsibilities depending on work schedules.
“It’s not about just him supporting me. It’s also about me supporting him when he leaves for work,” she said.
She added that they ensure one parent is always present at home with their children when the other is travelling for work.
According to her, this mutual understanding is what keeps their relationship stable and grounded even after nearly two decades of marriage.
Sharing responsibilities at home
Jyotika further explained that their arrangement is flexible, depending on professional commitments.
Sometimes she chooses to scale back work, while at other times Suriya adjusts his schedule to support her projects.
She described marriage as something that should function “hand in glove,” with both partners adapting when required.
On her new role in System
Jyotika also spoke about her upcoming legal drama System, directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari.
The film also stars Sonakshi Sinha and revolves around two women who expose corruption and loopholes in the justice system.
It is scheduled to stream on Amazon Prime Video from May 22.
