Suriya, Jyotika recall leaving Chennai VIP life for Mumbai

Suriya and Jyotika are famous movie actors from India.

They used to live in Chennai, a big city in southern India.

During the pandemic, their family moved to Mumbai.

Jyotika wanted to be near her older parents.

The move also helped her act in Hindi movies again after many years.

In Chennai, Suriya got special VIP treatment wherever he went.

In Mumbai, they feel like normal people and can go out with their children.

Their kids, Diya and Dev, help keep them grounded and humble.

The children love Mumbai and chose good friends there.

Jyotika says she still feels South Indian at heart but loves both cities.
