Quotes
Sivakumar
Veteran Tamil actor and Suriya's father
“Love doesn't happen to everyone. When his mother once asked Suriya why he wasn't falling in love with someone, he said, ‘One can't fall in love with just any girl.' Then he fell in love with a girl (Jyotika) from Bombay (now Mumbai). He waited for four years, adamant that if he were to get married to someone, it would be only to her [and they eventually did],”

“After marriage, she could have made Suriya move to Bombay and settle there. I couldn't have said anything. But she stayed here for 18 years.”
