R Madhavan is one of the most versatile actors in India and has received great appreciation for his performance. Apart from his acting, he is known for his age-defying looks and is often praised by both women and men. It is no secret that several celebrities use treatments and enhancements to maintain their youthful looks, but Madhavan has kept himself away from such treatments. Know R Madhavan’s secrets and Ayurvedic routines that swear by to live a healthy lifestyle.
R Madhavan’s Ayurvedic Haircare Routine:
While talking about his haircare routine, R Madhavan told GQ India, “When I started out in Tamil cinema [with Alaipayuthey in 2000], everyone pointed out that I was the first Tamil actor without a moustache. Now, I’ve got a face full of hair. My routine’s simple: since childhood, I’ve taken an oil bath every Sunday—with nalla ennai [sesame oil]; you apply it all over your body, especially your head. On other days, it’s coconut oil, applied in a specific manner. This ayurvedic practice has served me well for over 20 years.”
Simple Skincare Routine:
He also shared a skincare secret and revealed he has not gotten any fillers or enhancements done. “I play golf in the early morning sun. I get tanned, yes, but it helps with skin tightening and keeping it wrinkle-free; the sun suits me. And I haven’t gotten any fillers or enhancements done; maybe the occasional facial for a role. It’s just coconut oil, coconut water, sunshine and vegetarian food doing the heavy lifting,” he added.

Diet and Food Habits for Good Health:
While speaking further about nutritional practices for a healthy lifestyle, the actor revealed he has a habit of eating freshly prepared food.
“When I was young, we didn’t have a fridge at home, so food always had to be freshly prepared. That habit stuck. It’s probably why fast food, packaged stuff, reheated dishes or non-seasonal fruits don’t go down well with my body. Even when I’m on set, I take my chef along to cook simple meals like dal, sabzi and chawal—the kind my mom made,” the 3 Idiots stars revealed.
More about the actor’s work front:
