Popular Star Kid: Meet Suriya and Jyotika’s daughter Diya, an aspiring filmmaker with a passion for travel and sports

Oh boy, do I have a soft spot for the Suriya-Jyotika family! Growing up with their movies and seeing them evolve into this lovely couple who are raising two incredible kids, Diya and Dev, has been an absolute joy. And now, little Diya is making waves in the film industry herself!


Without a doubt, Suriya and his wife Jyotika are among the most beloved celebrity duos in India. Their fanbase has been strong since their courtship days. The husband-wife pair, who tied the knot on September 11, 2006, are also parents to Diya and Dev.

Although Suriya and Jyotika usually prefer to keep their personal life low-key, they occasionally share delightful moments with their children and celebrate their accomplishments. We’d like to focus on their daughter, Diya Suriya, who is rapidly emerging as a budding filmmaker.

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

Diya Suriya, born on August 10, 2007, is the child of renowned actors Suriya and Jyotika. They welcomed her a year following their marriage. Like her parents, Diya tends to maintain a low profile, living a relatively private life.

More recently, Diya made headlines due to her notable success in filmmaking. Her student short film earned praise and recognition, including an award for best screenwriting from the judging panel as well.

Through their official social media accounts, Diya’s parents publicly acknowledged and celebrated the awards she had won for her documentary. In a brief message, they expressed admiration for her work in bringing attention to a hidden problem within the film industry.

17-year-old celebrity offspring is currently balancing her acting career with studies in Mumbai, as confirmed by Suriya himself during an old interview. He shared that Jyotika and their children reside in Mumbai for educational purposes, while he frequently travels between Chennai and Mumbai to spend time with them.

Speaking from my perspective as a lifestyle enthusiast, I must say that travel holds a special place in my heart. In fact, if we rewind to 2023, you would have found me, along with my wonderful family – Suriya, Jyotika, and our kids – soaking up the beauty of the Faroe Islands. It was a delightful family getaway that we cherished immensely.

Diya Suriya’s academic merits

Diya Suriya isn’t just a rising filmmaker making strides but is also recognized for her impressive academic background accumulated over time. In fact, she gained significant attention back in 2024 when she aced her 12th-grade exams, creating quite the stir online.

According to Filmibeat’s report, Diya achieved a near-perfect score of 581 out of 600. This was broken down into 96/100 in Tamil, 97 in English, 94 in Accounts, 99 in Physics, 98 in Chemistry, and 97 in Computer Science. Notably, Diya also earned a remarkable 97% in her tenth-grade examinations.

Beyond her talents, Diya Suriya is equally skilled in sports, particularly excelling in football and tennis. Her passion for these games runs deep, and during her school years, she even held the position of Sports Captain. In this role, she had a brief conversation with the school magazine, expressing her desire to challenge herself in a ‘competitive setting’ and further develop her ‘leadership abilities’.

In the very same conversation, I too revealed my intentions – once I’ve completed my education, I am planning to relocate to the United States with dreams of delving into International Relations. Needless to say, I am thrilled at the prospect of unveiling what lies ahead in my future journey.
