Suriya and Jyotika are married again, celebrating their two decades of togetherness. On September 11, the couple marked their 20th wedding anniversary, and they made the milestone even more special by renewing their vows in an intimate, Christian-style ceremony surrounded by family, friends, and loved ones.
On September 15, 2026, Jyotika and Suriya shared visuals from the beautiful wedding vows renewal ceremony in a collab post, and it was nothing short of a heartwarming moment. For the big day, Jyotika and Suriya were dressed like a bride and groom, as if they were getting married for the first time. As Jyotika arrived at the church, Suriya got teary-eyed, showcasing the beautiful bond they have shared for years.
Along with a dreamy glimpse of the wedding vows renewal, Jyotika penned a long note. Tagging their journey ahead as a sequel, she further wrote, “THE SEQUEL –
A vow renewal, celebrating our 20 years of love and war.”
Speaking about their togetherness, Jyotika shared it’s the celebration of what they have become for each other, “And no, this is not a celebration of a perfect marriage. This is a celebration of imperfections, of adjustments, of understanding, sacrifices, of loving each other selflessly. This is a celebration of “us”. The people we have become for each other.”
Jyotika reflected on how being together with Suriya was a dream that looked difficult, but now it’s her truth, “How ironical-
A dream which felt far from reality is now a reality I will spend my entire lifetime dreaming of !”
Sharing her wedding vows, the actress wrote, “So here are my vows –
I vow to be a happy person — because I choose to see only life’s positive side.
I vow to celebrate life — because life itself is a gift when the man whom you love respects you beyond himself.
I vow never to complain-
Why should I ? when even something as vast as the sky doesn’t have the privilege of touching the ground! Look around, everything in existence is incomplete. It’s how we choose to fill the gaps.
I vow to be thankful – as every morning I wake in the arms of a man who protects me, and for my beautiful children who’ve given my life a meaning. And me, a reason to live.
I vow to be healthy — because that is the only true asset we ever build. Even the fanciest brick houses will always have their leaks, termites, and renovations.
I vow to be the best mother—not because I cook, clean, or help, but because I smile, a smile that makes my children want to relive the story their appa amma lived.
I vow, my Suriya, to always remain that imperfect wife, who fights, and then makes up, only to grow a little more closer to you each time.
I vow to cherish our friendship most of all — because it’s rare to find your equal, your confidant, your gossip partner, and your best friend, all living inside this one special man who also happens to be your husband and the father of your children.
So here’s to our next twenty years — The imperfect us, with the perfect understanding.”
Suriya and Jyotika got married on September 11, 2006, in Chennai, after a multi-year romance that began on a movie set. The couple has two children: their daughter, Diya, born in 2007, and their son, Dev, born in 2010.
