Mumbai: South superstar Suriya has finally put the separation rumours to rest by stating that he has moved to Mumbai, keeping his wife Jyotika’s career and interests in mind.

The actor further shared that he will be flying between Mumbai and Chennai to strike a balance between his personal and professional life.

Setting the records straight, Suriya told The Hollywood Reporter India, “I can be very open. At the age of 18-19, she shifted to Chennai. Almost 27 years, she was in Chennai and spent only 18 years in Mumbai. She was with me, my family. She gave up her career, friends, relatives and her Bandra lifestyle. Everything was given up, and she was in Chennai.”

The ‘Kanguva’ actor, who is a doting husband said that just like men, women too have their priorities and choices. They too deserve happiness and space just like men.

“She’s happy spending time here with her parents after 27 years. Whatever a man needs, a woman also needs that. I think I’m a late bloomer. She needs those vacations, her friends and her financial independence. She needs respect, her gym time, fitness and me time. Whatever we [men] crave for, she needs them too. Why take away her time from her parents, her lifestyle and what she loves to do. When are we going to do that change? Why is it always me? This is the thought behind the move. I am happy to see that growth in her as an actor,” said Suriya.

Jyotika made a comeback in Bollywood with Ajay Devgn and R Madhavan starrer ‘Shaitaan.’ She was also seen in ‘Srikanth’ starring Rajkummar Rao. The actress will be next seen in ‘Dabba Cartel’.

Meanwhile, Suriya will be next seen in ‘Kanguva’, which is slated for a November 14 release.
