Here’s how R Madhavan shuts down troll who called him ‘Fake Hindu’
A Twitter user criticised R Madhavan for having a cross at home. The actor schooled him in religious pluralism that India and he stand for.
Actor R. Madhavan shared a lovely picture of himself along with his father and son Vedaant celebrating Raksha Bandhan and Avani Avittam, a Hindu festival on this independence day. Sharing the picture, the actor captioned the photo, “Wish you all a very happy INDEPENDENCE DAY, RAKSHA BANDHAN AND AVNI AVITTAM. Prayers for peace and prosperity for ALL in this world continues.”

However, a troll spotted a cross in the background and decided to focus on it and question Madhavan’s faith and wrote, “Why do they have across in the background? Is that a Mandir? You just lost my respect. Do you find Hindu Gods in Christian churches? All this is fake drama you did today.”

To this troll, Madhavan came with a very subtle yet brutal retaliation with a long note on his Twitter account

Madhavan shared on Twitter, “I really don’t worry about respect from the likes of you. I hope you get well soon. Surprised that in u r sickness you did not see the Golden temple pic there too and asked if I converted to Sikhism, I have blessing from the Dargas there too and blessing from all religious places around the world. Some gifted and some bought. My home is home to staff from all faiths and we pray at a common altar. Like any defence personal will tell you, happens in every unit. I have been taught from my very childhood to maintain my identity with pride but at the same time RESPECT each and every faith, belief, and region. ‘Yemmadhamum Sammadham’ (I respect each religion as my own). I hope my son follows that too.
“I have prayed at every Darga, Gurudwara, and Church. I have had the good fortune to visit when a temple was not around. They have shown me utmost love and respect knowing that I am a Hindu. How can I not reciprocate that. All I have is a lot of love and respect to give as my vast travels and experience has proved, is the only true faith. Peace and love to you too (sic),” he wrote.
On the work front, Madhavan will be seen in ‘Rocketry: The Nambi Effect’, which is based on the life of scientist and aerospace engineer S. Nambi Narayanan. The film is slated for release later this year.
