While Reena and Maddy’s love story in the film was on point, it was Madhavan’s effortless acting and captivating smile that had made every girl go weak in her knees. Not many people are aware of his real love story as he is not very much into social media PDAs and prefers keeping his personal life out of limelight.

After earning a degree in electronics, Madhavan had started conducting communication and public speaking classes all over India. During one of his workshops in 1991 in Kohlapur, he had met his soulmate, Sarita Birje. And after dating for eight long years, the two had gotten married in a traditional South Indian wedding. In 2005, the couple had embraced parenthood and had welcomed their baby boy, Vedaant.
On October 15, 2020, Sarita Birje turned a year older and her hubby, Madhavan shared the sweetest message for her.

Coming back to their love story, in an interview with the IANS, Madhavan had shared how he had met his one true love, Sarita. He had said, "Sarita (my wife) was my student and she asked me out on a date one day. I was a dark man and thought it was an opportunity. Didn't know if I would ever get married so I grabbed on to the opportunity and married her."
In an industry, where getting attracted to the opposite sex and indulging in extramarital affairs are quite common, Madhavan’s name was never linked with any other woman and he had always stayed true to his wife. In an interview with The Times of India, he had revealed the reason behind it and had said, "I think it’s the easy way out to remain loyal. There are other aspects of my life that I need to put my energies in. Also, I think to be loyal is a family trait. My entire family till the end of their lives remained so loyal to Jamsetji Tata that we actually had a photo of his, along with all the Gods with the mala. So honestly, I will have to go out of my way to not be loyal." (Also Read: Sameera Reddy Recalls When She Was Pregnant With Her First Kid, Talks About Frustration [Pic Inside])
