R Madhavan, known for his grounded demeanor, recently discussed his parenting approach with his son Vedaant, an accomplished swimmer. In a conversation with Ranveer Allahbadia, he highlighted the importance of humility, stemming from his own middle-class upbringing in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, India. Madhavan expressed discomfort with the memes and comparisons that Vedaant faces as a celebrity's child, stating that such scrutiny can be hurtful. He and his wife, Sarita, strive to remind Vedaant of his worth beyond public attention. Madhavan also praised Gen Z's frugal lifestyle, noting that Vedaant, like many in his generation, shows little interest in material possessions such as cars or houses, which he finds refreshing. The actor believes that this wisdom distinguishes Gen Z from previous generations, contributing to a more peaceful outlook on life. On the professional front, Madhavan's recent film, Dhurandhar 2, has achieved significant success, grossing ₹1,782.15 crore worldwide, making it the second-highest all-time grosser after Baahubali: The Conclusion.
