Jyotika says she and Suriya are just parents of 'our kids, we leave the superstardom outside the door'

Jyotika and Suriya are parents to a boy and girl.

Actress Jyotika, who will be soon seen in the Netflix series Dabba Cartel, spoke about their personal life and how both she and her actor husband Suriya manage life with their kids.

In an interview with Screen during the promotions of Dabba Cartel, Jyotika said in order to give their children a normal life like other kids their age, both of them leave their superstardom outside the door.

"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 told the publication.

Joytika and Suirya have now relocated to Mumbai and she is actively doing films and other projects. The couple has two children: a daughter Diya (born in 2007) and a son, Dev (born in 2010).

Jyotika tied the knot with Tamil superstar Suriya in September 2006 and that's when she also quit films for a brief period. The 'Srikanth' actress says she doesn't regret her decision to quit and later when she returned to the silver screen with south films she was happy doing those.

"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," she said

Jyotika was seen with Ajay Devgn and Madhavan in the hit movie Shaitaan.

Dabba Cartel which will stream on Netflix from February 28 stars veteran actress Shabana Azmi, Gajraj Rao, Nimisha Sajayan, Shalini Pandey, Anjali Anand, Sai Tamhankar, Jisshu Sengupta, Lillete Dubey, and Bhupendra Singh Jadawat.

It is about a bunch of ordinary women who use their upstanding dabba service to ferry drugs across Mumbai.
