The couple has two children, daughter Diya (born 10 August 2007)[23] and son Dev (born 7 June 2010).[24]
Career
1998–2002
She made her acting debut in the Hindi film Doli Saja Ke Rakhna, directed by Priyadarshan, but it did not do well commercially. In a 2000 interview with India Today, Priyadarshan said that he "lapsed into depression" after the film flopped.[25]
Her first role was in Vaali (1999), for which she won Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut – South.[12] and Dinakaran Best Female Debut[26] Later that year, she starred in Poovellam Kettuppar, in which she played the love interest of the protagonist, portrayed by her husband Suriya. The success of the film Kushi became a turning point in her career.[27][28] A string of successful films followed between 2000 and 2002, among them Mugavaree, Dum Dum Dum and Snegithiye. Her characters had equal importance as the hero.[29] She also acted with Kamal Haasan during this period, in the comedy film Thenali.[27] She was awarded the Filmfare Best Tamil Actress Award for her role in Kushi.[30][31][32] Her role in Rhythm though small, has been widely appreciated.[33] After the success of Kushi, she was signed to play the female lead in Friends, opposite Vijay, but she was replaced by Devayani.[34] She collaborated with Mani Ratnam for the first time by appearing in his production house Madras Talkies' romantic comedy Dumm Dumm Dumm, alongside Madhavan. The film won positive acclaim and became a success not only in Tamil Nadu, but also in Andhra with its dubbed version.[35][36] She also made an appearance in the Kannada film industry opposite Upendra in Nagarahavu.[37] She had a dual role in this film.[38] Later, she appeared in the Tamil thriller film Snegithiye, directed by Priyadarshan, made in all south languages.[39][40]
2003–2006
In 2003, she starred in Dhool with Vikram, Kaakha Kaakha with Suriya, Thirumalai with Vijay, all of which did well at the box office, Kaakha Kaakha, in particular, being one of the biggest hits of her career. She was listed amongst the Best Actress nominees in Filmfare Awards South for her roles in Dhool and Kaakha Kaakha. She got International Tamil Film Awards Special Jury For Best Actress.[41]Dhool, Kaakha Kaakha and Thirumalai were amongst the top 10 films of the year and The Hindu wrote that she was "virtually the undisputed queen of Kollywood".[42] Actor Vikram referred to her as Lady Kamal Haasan due to her dedication in acting.[43] In 2004, she acted in a double role in the critically acclaimed Perazhagan, opposite Suriya. She won Tamil Nadu State Best Actress Award for the film. In 2005, she acted in Manmadhan, opposite Silambarasan.[44][45] She also performed the lead female role in the Telugu film Tagore, opposite Chiranjeevi, which was screened at the International Indian Film Academy Awards, and was a commercial success.[46][47]
Her most successful film to date[when?] is the Rajinikanth-starrer Chandramukhi 2005, in which she played the title role.[48] She won accolades for her performance in Chandramukhi including a Tamil Nadu State Film Awards and Filmfare Awards Nomination.[14][49] She was also offered a chance to act with Mohanlal in Udayon, directed by Bhadran, but she could not do it due to busy schedules in Tamil.[50] Her first release in 2006 was Saravana, opposite Silambarasan after Manmadhan.[51] Her role in June R was noticed before the release of the film.[52] Jyothika's performance is fine tuned and emotionally engaged.[according to whom?] She has underplayed her emotions beautifully.[53][54] Her films in 2006 include Vettaiyadu Villaiyadu, a crime-thriller film written and directed by Gautham Menon and Sillunu Oru Kaadhal, opposite Suriya.[55] The former was dubbed into Hindi as The Smart Hunt.[56]
2007–2008
Her last films were Gautham Menon's Pachaikili Muthucharam and the critically acclaimed Mozhi, both in 2007. Her roles in these two films, as a negative character in the former (which she played for the first time) and as a deaf and mute in the latter earned her widespread appreciation. Among these, Mozhi won her acclaim. Her performance took her very close to winning the National Film Award for Best Actress.[13] However, she lost the award by a narrow margin at the end.[16] In Pachaikili Muthucharam she had a crucial role and pulled off a memorable performance.[57][58] Her Malayalam films Raakilipattu and Seetha Kalyanam were released in 2007 and 2009 respectively after languishing in development hell for years.[59][60] Jyothika later made a comeback through television adverts.[61] In 2008, she appeared in a short film Herova? Zerova?.[62] The film was written and produced by her father-in-law Sivakumar and also starred Vijay, R. Madhavan and Suriya.[citation needed]
2015–present (comeback)
Jyothika made her comeback to Tamil Cinema with 36 Vayadhinile, a remake of the hit Malayalam film How Old Are You?. Jyothika received critical acclaim for her performance in the film as a middle-aged housewife who sets out to stand on her own.[63] She was awarded the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actress at the 63rd Filmfare Awards South. She also received Behindwoods Gold Medals For best Actress and Best Movie Award along with Suriya and also got many nominations for best actress. The film went on to become a moderate success at the box office. In the audio release of 36 Vayadhinile, and also at the successful release of the film Jyothika she credited Suriya, her husband, and some of her close friends as the major motivation for her comeback. Recently,[when?] in a Tamil TV show named Koffee with DD, Jyothika said that we can expect her in future as an artist, not as a heroine.[citation needed]
After the success of her film 36 Vayadhinile, Raghava Lawrence cast her as female lead in his upcoming movie titled Naaga under the production and distribution company Vendhar Movies.The film is said to be the fourth installment of Kanchana 2.[64][65][66]
Later in February 2016, director Bramma approached Jyothika to play the leading role in a "female-centric" script he had written and impressed by the offer, her husband Suriya agreed to finance the film.[67] Jyothika subsequently participated in a series of workshops to get ready for her role in the film for twenty days.[68][67] The movie is titled Magalir Mattum, written and directed by Bramma, in his second venture after Kuttram Kadithal (2015). It also features Saranya, Urvashi, Bhanupriya, Nassar and Livingston playing pivotal roles. Produced by Suriya, the venture began production in July 2016. She was also signed by Sri Thenandal Films for another project titled Mersal together in September 2016, opposite to Vijay, directed by Atlee[69][70][71] A few days after the shoot began, Jyothika opted out of the project and the makers signed Nithya Menen to replace her. No official announcement is made so far about the replacement.[72] In late February, Suriya confirmed Jyothika's new project, Naachiyaar by sharing the first look posters of the film.[73] She got several accloades for her performance in Naachiyar as Rough and Riveting Cop. Deccan chronicle addressed her as "Lady Singham".[74] As per behindwoods Jyothika is fantastic, as she masterfully plays the role of a menacing, short-tempered and a bold cop, with a gracious heart.[75][76] Following the immense success of the film and Jyothika's big fan following in the Telugu speaking states The film Naachiyar has been dubbed into Telugu by the title 'Jhansi'.[77][78]
Jyothika agreed to portray a leading female role in Mani Ratnam's project titled Chekka Chivantha Vaanam in early September 2017, and confirmed her participation to the media while promoting Magalir Mattum (2017). She had earlier appeared in Mani Ratnam's production venture Dumm Dumm Dumm (2001), but stated her excitement at being selected in a film to be directed by him.[79][80][81][82][83]
She was next seen as a housewife struggling to find her own identity in Kaatrin Mozhi, the Tamil remake of Vidya Balan's Tumhari Sulu. The project, which officially went on the floors on 4 June, was directed by Radha Mohan and marked his reunion with Jyothika after the critically acclaimed Mozhi.[84][85][86][87]
The makers of Manju Warrier's comedy-drama film Mohanlal have approached Jyothika to attend the special screening of the film and asked her to reprise Manju's role in the Tamil remake which is reportedly titled Rajini Selvi as a Rajinikanth Fan. The buzz originated after the scriptwriter of Mohanlal, Suneesh Waranad, posted on his social media page that they had approached the actress for the movie. But No official Confirmations made yet.[88][89]
In 2018, she appeared as the lead role of Chitra, a housewife to Arvind Swamy's character in Mani Ratnam's film Chekka Chivantha Vaanam. The first look was released on 21 August. The film has a worldwide release on the 27 September 2018.[90][91]

Her film Mozhi was released in Telugu under the title Maataranai Mounamidi, which won critical accolades for her performance and was a commercial success.[98]
After an impressive comeback, she was approached by director Venu Sri Ram and producer Dil Raju for a strong character in the film Middle Class Abbayi starring Nani, Sai Pallavi and Bhumika Chawla.Chawla replaced her later.[99]Boyapati Srinu was considered Jyothika in Jai Simha opposite to Nandamuri Balakrishna, but later K.
