Suriya and his wife Jyotika are undoubtedly one of the most popular celebrity couples in India. They have held a significant fan following ever since their dating days. The actor and actress, who got married on September 11, 2006, also share two children, Diya and Dev.

While Suriya and Jyotika tend to keep their family life private, we can occasionally see them enjoying special moments with their kids and even applauding them on their achievements. Let’s take a look at their daughter, Diya Suriya, who is a filmmaker in the making.

Who is Suriya and Jyotika’s daughter, Diya Suriya?


Diya Suriya was born on August 10, 2007, to her celebrity parents, Suriya and Jyotika, a year after their wedding. Similar to her parents, the star kid also leads a pretty private life as well.

Diya had recently hit the headlines after making quite a significant achievement as a filmmaker. The star kid had recently won acclaim for her student short film, which even lent her best screenwriter award by the jury too.

The applause of the awards she received was officially shared by her parents themselves via their official social media handles. Both of them shared a short note for Diya’s documentary and appreciated her for highlighting an underlying issue in the film industry.
