Unlike other star kids, actor R Madhavan’s son Vedaant is away from showbiz and his focus is more on sports. Vedaant is 16-year-old and a national swimming champion. He recently won seven medals in swimming at the Danish Open 2022 in Copenhagen. He opened up on how he wanted to make a name for himself. In an interview with a leading entertainment portal, Vedaant said, “I didn’t wanna live under my dad’s shadow. I wanted to make a name for myself. I didn’t want to be just R Madhavan's son.”
Talking about his parents' sacrifices, Vedaant said, “They are always looking after me. Both put in so much effort. One of the main sacrifices my parents made was to shift to Dubai." Last year, R Madhavan and his family shifted to Dubai to support his son Vedaant to prepare for the Olympics. Talking about this move he said to a portal, “The larger swimming pools in Mumbai are either closed because of Covid or out of bounds. We are here with Vedaant in Dubai where he has access to large pools. He’s working towards the Olympics, and Sarita (his wife) and I are right by his side.”
He had also penned a post, talking about his son’s aspirations,“Let your child fly freely. Don’t stop him or her from pursuing any career. I’ve no regrets about Vedaant choosing not to be an actor. His chosen vocation is far more important to me than my own career. I’ll do what it takes to take him where he wants to go in life." On the work front, Madhavan will be seen in Rocketry and The Railway Men. Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, which is based on the life of a former scientist and aerospace engineer of ISRO, Nambi Narayanan. The film is written, produced and directed by Madhavan, who also features in the lead role. More on: R Madhavan Vedaant
