Suriya comes out to defend Jyotika regarding her controversial speech at a recent awards event

Actor couple Suriya and Jyotika are best known for their simple and non-controversial lifestyle. But even they got dragged into controversy for Joytika's recent speech at an award function. Speaking at this event, Jyotika said that it would be great if people take care of temples and schools, in the way they care about temples in the state. This statement didn't go well with certain religious groups and they started lashing out on the actress. As the rage is still going on, Suriya had to come down and release his statement on the issue. The actor stated that there is nothing wrong with whatever his wife has said at the event. He also said that he and his family stand by her words. He also thanked everyone who supported Jyotika during this controversy.

In a recently released press statement, Suriya said, "Even though the trees stay calm, the wind never lets them remain calm. My wife's statement at an award event is raising a huge debate on social media. People are treating as if she committed a crime. I don't know why a few people are getting offended by it. Many spiritual leaders like Vivekananda have also told us that humanity is bigger than any religion." "Our family stands with her statements. Even we teach our children that humanity is greater than religion. I also thank people who supported us in this issue, while others were trying to tarnish our image," Suriya added. Now, everyone is appreciating Suriya for coming out and clearly explaining his stand on the issue.
