Madhavan, who ended 2025 with a bang stalwartHas started the new year in a very pleasant way. The Government of India has honored him with the prestigious Padmashree.
Madhavan reacts to Padma Shri honour; Says, “With Padma Shri, I feel my journey has just begun”
I contacted Madhavan soon after the announcement. The actor couldn’t be happier. “That feels like saying I’m doing something right. My life as an actor has always been unpredictable and you know what? I like it that way. Stability is for real life. By the grace of God, I have a wonderful wife and a son who makes me proud every day. Movies are where I look for thrills and excitement.
“My career has been like a rollercoaster. I started in television, then satellite, then Tamil cinema and Hindi cinema. God has been kind. I have never really faced failure.”
And now, Padmashree. “This is truly the icing on the cake. I couldn’t be happier. My family and I are celebrating. We’ve never been happier.” Madhavan believes that his journey is not over yet. “Padmashree gives me the feeling of being born again. I feel as if my journey has just begun.”
