Jyothika jokes about Suriya remuneration

Suriya is getting ready to entertain movie lovers with his upcoming film Vishwanath & Sons. The film directed by Venky Atluri is set for a grand release on 14 Aug 2026.

In the meantime, Suriya's wife Jyothika came up with a shocker. It is known that before marriage, Jyothika ruled South romancing top stars of the industry. Speaking to scribes,she said she was once paid three times Suriya's salary. "Now, it's 30 times less," she quipped, leaving the actor in splits.

Jyotika also described Suriya as a "green flag," praising the equality he brings to their relationship. She said "He's remarkable as a man, as a husband, and as an actor. There is an equality in his head, and I feel you have to be born with that. It has to come from within."

Jyothika revealed "You have to feel the woman with you. If she doesn’t want to cook, let it be. Those are things we have heard, right? I am not trying to be a feminist here. But we are equals at home. And it only comes out of a genuine, deep within feeling inside a man. Suriya has it in him. If I ever am cooking, he comes into the kitchen and cooks with me. We do everything together – from filmmaking to raising our children and even going on holidays. We genuinely enjoy watching each other grow."
