Amitabh Bachchan’s career is a blueprint
Madhavan praised Amitabh Bachchan for continuing to reinvent himself while accepting roles befitting his age.

He is one person who inspires me a lot,” he said.Expressing his gratitude, Madhavan added, “I don’t like to fall at people’s feet, except my parents.

Parents remain R Madhavan’s greatest inspiration

I have all the trappings of a celebrity with me, and they have a sense of pride and dignity that they live with. My father would not want to skip the line at the airport because he is my parent. They won’t think they can. I can’t buy him a car. My mother does not buy jewelry. They are very happy and satisfied,” he said.Reflecting on the life lessons he learned from them, Madhavan concluded, “If at that age I can live a contented life, I consider myself very successful.”
