Talking about his achievements and success at the age of 16, Vedaant Madhavan had earlier said he didn’t want to be called R Madhavan’s son and instead wanted to make a name for himself.
“I didn’t wanna live under my dad’s shadow. I wanted to make name for myself. I didn’t want to be just R Madhavan’s son,”
he told DD India in an interview.
Moreover, he also spoke about how his family is constantly making efforts to support him.
“They are always looking after me. Both put so much effort. One of the main sacrifices my parents made was to shift to Dubai”.
Just like R Madhavan, we all are proud of the talented young boy who is making India proud.
