Suriya has been married to Jyotika for close to 20 years now.

Suriya’s suggestion to married men

At the pre-release event of Vishwanath & Sons, a fan asked Suriya, “If there’s to be peace at home, what’s the first rule a husband must follow?” He laughed and put a finger on his mouth to indicate silence. He then said, “Stay silent. Only listen. Don’t talk.”

When asked by another fan what he believes is the secret to a successful relationship, he said, “I’ve told this before. Equal to love, we have to give mutual respect to each other. I think that’s really important. And it should be everlasting, but a lifelong relationship, not just once.”

At a promotional event earlier this month, Suriya spoke about love and said, “I think love should be everlasting. It shouldn’t end once you tie the knot. You should keep loving every day, even if you've been together for 20 years. You should keep loving and continue to respect your partner.” Incidentally, Suriya and Jyotika will complete 20 years of marriage this September.

He also spoke about the sacrifices women make in marriages, adding that men must learn to support their partners. “Stand by them, love them, give them the respect they deserve,” he said.

Talking to fans at the pre-release event, Suriya said, “You called Sivakumar and two sons (Suriya and Karthi) the adopted sons of Telugu states. You’ve given so much love to Surya S/o Krishnan (2008). And now Vishwanath & Sons, I hope it receives the same love. I really, really want all your love and support. Thank you so much for this love.”

His life takes a dramatic turn when a baby in his care needs a bone-marrow transplant. Enters Maddy (Mamitha), a girl more than half his age who falls for him.
