Even though he lives in Chennai, Jayaram is still a part of the Malayalees. He maintains a close relationship with actors including Mammootty and Mohanlal. Jayaram has revealed that Mammootty is the one with whom he shares all the ups and downs of his life.

He also clarified that it was Mammootty who calls and consoles him when his films flop. The revelation was in an interview given to a media. 'He is the one with whom I share all the good moments of my life, good things, success and failures. I have been sharing many things in my life with him since the beginning of my career. When there are setbacks and joys... he also shares the same things. I did a mimicry at an audio launch. When it became a hit, he watched it on the projector in his room and saw the entire episode for at least 50 times. He had called and congratulated me then,' said Jayaram.

Meantime, Jayaram's son Kalidas got married recently. He got married to model Tarini Kalingarayar at a function in Guruvayur. Actor and Union Minister Suresh Gopi had reached Guruvayur with his family. A grand reception was held in Chennai and almost everyone from the film industry had attended the function. His daughter Malavika got married in last May.

Jayaram had turned 60 recently.
