R Madhavan has opened up about the parenting lessons he believes shaped his son, champion swimmer Vedaant Madhavan, into a grounded and respectful individual. While the actor ensured his son had access to opportunities he himself never had growing up, he also made a conscious effort to teach him the value of gratitude and empathy.
Speaking on the 100 Year Life Project by ACKO podcast, Madhavan explained that he wanted Vedaant to understand that the privileges he enjoyed were made possible through hard work and should never be taken for granted.
