R Madhavan On Why He Never Cheated On His Wife
He also stated that despite working with many ‘attractive actresses over the years’, he was always very grounded about his relationship, marriage, and values he holds close to his heart. Speaking to ETimes, he said, “I think to be loyal is a family trait. My entire family till the end of their lives remained so loyal to Jamshedji Tata that we actually had a photo of his, along with all the Gods with the mala. So honestly, I will have to go out of my way to not be loyal.”
He further added, “While I am extremely attracted to attractive girls, at the end of the day, I balance off going back home and cuddling my wife as opposed to giving an excuse on why I am not there.” He added that his wife handles his finances so she always has access to his phone and accounts.
Madhavan also shared that he was advised not to reveal that he was married owing to his massive popularity. He shared, “I would open all my girl fan mail along with Sarita. I would insist on taking her for any exotic outdoor shoots, not because I wanted her to know that I am loyal, but I didn’t want to test myself.”
