For Suriya and Jyotika, wellness isn’t defined by elaborate routines or the latest fitness trends; it’s built through habits that have quietly become part of everyday life. Between film sets, family responsibilities and constant travel, the couple have found a rhythm that prioritises consistency over perfection. Their approach is refreshingly practical: carry a water bottle, make time for movement, get enough sleep and focus on strength rather than appearances.
In this quick conversation with The Hollywood Reporter India, the couple share what’s always in their wellness kit, the travel essentials they never leave home without, their go-to workout routines, what weekends look like when work pauses, and the advice that continues to shape how they think about health, longevity and living well.
THR INDIA: What’s in your wellness kit?
Jyotika: My gym bag has my gloves, for sure, a deodorant spray and my water bottle.
Suriya: I have been advised by Jyotika to carry a water bottle and my jogging shoes. I like to walk, jog at a minimal incline. And yes, my supplements too.
THR INDIA: What are your travel essentials?
Jyotika: I am the mother of an 18 and 16-year-old, so my essentials are mostly what they need in my bag. It’s full of lip balms and Vicks VapoRub. Not exciting at all.
Suriya: My mobile, headphones, wallet, credit cards. And maybe sunscreen, which again Jyotika has been asking me to keep.
