Actor couple Suriya and Jyotika have settled in Mumbai with their two children. Jyotika is preparing for the release of her Netflix series Dabba Cartel. In a recent interview with SCREEN, she discussed their family life and how they focus on parenting, leaving their fame behind.
She said they leave their fame behind when they get home and focus on being parents. Their main concern is their kids. “I guess we leave the superstardom outside the door when we enter home. There, we are just parents of our kids. And yeah, the dabbas… definitely the prominence is given to our children. It’s more about what’s going in their school dabbas (tiffin boxes) in the morning. One dabba leaves early morning at 6 o’clock with him to school while the younger one’s food goes at lunchtime at 12. So the discussions are more about what they are eating and how we are packing their food and sending it. So absolutely we are parents at home, superstardom stays outside,” she said.
Jyotika shared her thoughts on her career, saying she loved working in South films and felt she did some of her best roles there. She said, “I was extremely happy in the South. I have done some of my best roles there and I could only be glad that I was part of South films. Because I’m not sure if I had probably got those roles if I had worked in Hindi. In fact I was married and stopped working at 28 and then got back to films when I was 35. And I did see a lot of prominent roles coming up my way in Tamil where I played the protagonist. And here I am in Hindi now where I am again receiving a very warm welcome. So no complaints. I am very happy with the way the career has shaped.”
Jyotika recently returned to Hindi films with Shaitaan and also starred in Srikanth, starring Rajkummar Rao.
