Actor Karthi has joked that his brother Suriya and sister-in-law Jyotika’s romantic vow renewal ceremony in Scotland earlier this year created domestic trouble for couples across the Tamil film industry, including himself.

“The love between these two is a bit over-the-top,” Karthi said, addressing Suriya and Jyotika directly. “It’s putting a ton of pressure on all the other couples. I can’t explain the bashing I’ve received.
