DMK simp and flop-churning actor Suriya who gave statements after statements for every issue under the sun when Edappadi K. Palaniswami was Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, is now enjoying sunshine and sunsets in the luxury destination of Seychelles.
Videos posted by Jyotika on social media show the celebrity duo strolling along white-sand beaches, indulging in water rides, sipping on fresh coconuts, and posing in high-end tropical attire—all while describing the East African island as “paradise.” In her post, Jyothika wrote, “Another day for you and me in paradise. Thank u Abhishek and Lyn for this beautiful memory at Seychelles.”
This is the same Jyotika who, in 2020, famously criticized temple donations, suggesting the money would be better spent on schools and hospitals—a comment that didn’t sit well with many in the Hindu community.
Her comments were hailed by the DMK’s ecosystem and lapped up by left-leaning media outlets, using it to push the narrative that temple wealth is a misplaced priority.
The couple’s recent luxury vacation—likely costing several lakhs—raises an obvious question: Why is it acceptable to splurge on exotic getaways, but not for devotees to donate to temples they believe in?
Meanwhile, Suriya—who brought custodial brutality into focus with his film Jai Bhim and vocally condemned the custodial deaths of Jayaraj and Bennix in Sathankulam—has remained remarkably silent about the recent custodial death of temple security guard Ajith Kumar in Sivaganga under the DMK government.
When speaking out aligns with their political leanings, they’re loud and visible. But when uncomfortable truths emerge under regimes they support, they retreat into silence—or tropical beaches.
Public memory is not as short as they hope. The internet remembers. And as long as they continue to preach one thing and practice another, their credibility will only keep stooping low further.
