Before becoming the heartthrob of the audience, Madhavan was a personality development teacher during his initial career. Maddy helped his students develop self-confidence; however, one of his students came into his life, and now she is his beautiful wife and the mother of a son. Yes, R. Madhavan’s wife, Sarita Birje, was once his student.

When did Madhavan meet his wife?

It was in 1991, Sarita Birje, who wanted to start her aviation career, enrolled in Madhavan’s personality development class in Kolhapur. After taking up her first job, Sarita invited Madhavan to dinner to thank him, and that’s when their love story began. The couple had been dating for eight years and finally got married in 1999.

Madhavan and Sarita’s married life

Sarita Birje’s relationship with Madhavan remained since the days when he was not a star. They knew each other long before he achieved fame and have remained together even today. Talking about his film career, Madhavan now rules the South and Bollywood, with a massive fan following, but Sarita Birje’s place in Madhavan’s life remains unchanged.

Madhavan’s impressive filmography

R. Madhavan began his acting career in 1997. He first appeared in the English film “Inferno” (1997). His first Indian film was “Shanti Shanti Shanti,” in Kannada.

However, Madhavan’s biggest breakthrough came with Mani Ratnam’s “Alai Payuthey,” a Tamil film that made him an overnight sensation.

After this film, R. Madhavan’s popularity grew in the film industry. However, the most remarkable thing is that his stardom didn’t affect his relationship with Sarita. Madhavan often brought his wife to the sets. The couple have been married for over 26 years, but their relationship remains rooted even today.
