I hope you get well soon.” He clarified, “My home is home to staff of all faiths and we pray at a common alter. Like any defense personal will tell you, happens in every unit.” Madhavan also mentioned, “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. 'YemmadhamumSammadham' (I respect each religion as my own). I hope my son follows that too.”
