Tamil superstar Suriya who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming family drama ‘Vishwanath and Sons’, recently shared about his family’s life in Mumbai and why enjoys staying there. The actor and his wife Jyotika moved to Mumbai with their children, Diya and Dev, during the pandemic which was partly to keep Jyotika closer to her parents, who live in Mumbai and also helped her work on her Bollywood career again.
Suriya talks about Mumbai home
During a promotional interview with anchor Suma, Suriya spoke about how much he enjoys living in their Mumbai home. He said that the smaller house gives him more comfort than the luxury bungalow they had in Chennai.
Suriya loves his smaller house
Suriya explained why he enjoys his 1,700 sq ft Mumbai home. He said, “Mumbai is almost like a holiday for me. I work here (Chennai), then I go for a holiday there. It’s a smaller house. We stay in a 1700 sq ft house. So, two steps bedroom, two steps living room, two steps kitchen, two steps dining area. It’s a nice, cosy house, which gives us a lot of comfort.”He also said that the home is filled with memories and warmth. Suriya added, “A lot of memories, a lot of warmth. It’s a lot of love everywhere. I can immediately call Diya or Dev; there’s just one step away. Not many people know what we do there, so it’s nice.”
Suriya says Jyotika’s parents were priority
Suriya also shared that moving to Mumbai was mainly about Jyotika’s parents. He said, “She has not gone to Russia or Japan. She has gone to her own…her mother’s place. The main priority was, of course, for her parents. But also, work is happening there simultaneously.”Suriya and Jyotika got married on September 11, 2006, in Chennai after being in a relationship for several years. They welcomed their daughter Diya in 2007 and son Dev in 2010.
