Diya's first birthday, daughter of Surya and Jyotika

Diya, daughter of Surya and Jyotika. Kollywood couple Surya and Jyothika celebrated the first birthday of their daughter Diya in style at Taj’s Fisherman Cove on Sunday (August 10) evening.

Diya had the blessings of all the close members of the family and also her own special birthday cake.

Diya is said to be a very bubbly girl and Surya and Jyotika take turns in looking after little Diya.

Jyothika with few children were shot in Marina beach while sequences associated with Surya

Jyothika who captivated the audience with her spontaneous and brilliant acting prowess had taken a sabbatical after her wedding to fellow actor Surya and subsequent motherhood. However she would be seen on screen once again but not in a feature film but in an educational documentary.

This promotional film aimed to increase the awareness on education among children belonging to lower strata has brought in many talents from the industry.

Surya’s Agaram Foundation is producing this film for Tamil Nadu government which will be directed by Priya V of Kanda Naal Mudal fame. Many top honchos of the industry are helping out in this venture.

Harris Jeyaraj is scoring music while K V Anand is wielding the camera and Rajiv Menon and Mani Ratnam have lent post production help. Yesterday shots related to Jyothika with few children were shot in Marina beach while sequences associated with Surya were canned in Kunrathur recently.

It is certainly heartening to note that our stars are working for a noble cause.
