Actor R. Madhavan found himself in the midst of controversy on social media. Little Madhavan would have known that his post on the occasion of Avani Avittam on Thursday, which had himself, son and father would invite irke of a user.
The user going by the name JIXSA wrote, “Why do they have a cross in the background? Is that a Mandir? You just lost my respect. Do you find Hindu Gods in Christian churches? All this is fake drama you did today.” However, rather knowhow to shut down the troller who frayed the user with a written note. It goes like this, He stated, “I have blessing from the Dargas there too and blessing from all religious places around the world. Some gifted and some bought. My home is home to staff from all faiths and we pray at a common alter. Like any defence personal will tell you, happens in every unit. I have been taught from my very childhood to maintain my identity with pride but at the same time respect each and every faith, belief and region. ‘YemmadhamumSammadham’ (I respect each religion as my own). I hope my son follows that too.”
He added, “I have prayed at every Darga, Gurudwara and Church. I have had the good fortune to visit when a temple was not around. They have shown me utmost love and respect knowing that I am a Hindu. How can I not reciprocate that. All I have is a lot of love and respect to give as my vast travels and experience has proved, is the only true faith. Peace and love to you too (sic)”
On the career front, Madhavan is awaiting for his directorial debut Rockerty: The Nambi Effect, based on the life of Padma Bhushan-awardee Nambi Narayanan. He will also feature in Silence which stars Anushka Shetty.
