R Madhavan started a completely different era when he stepped into the shoes of Maddy for Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein. Making women go weak in the knees in the movie, this man still has the same charm which makes every one like him, regardless of age. 

If you are someone who’s a believer of true love stories, then R Madhavan’s relationship with Sarita Birje is no less than a beautiful tale of two people falling in love with each other head over heels. 

The two lovebirds tied the knot in 1991 even before Madhavan could make it big in the industry. It was a traditional Tamilian wedding and was a private affair with their families and family in attendance. In one of the interviews, he said, “Sarita was my student and she asked me out on a date one day. I was a dark man and thought it was an opportunity. I didn't know if I would ever get married so I grabbed on to the opportunity and married her.” 

In one of the recent interviews, Madhavan revealed that during their courtship period, he and his wife Sarita Birje would make out on the beaches of Mumbai. He revealed that they have also been interrupted by the police and asked to ‘go home'.

Recalling his days at Bandstand and Carter Road, R Madhavan told a Mashable India interviewer, “When I was wooing Sarita, we seldom had a place to get intimate. So, these rocks have many stories to tell.”

“We started out like any other couple in Mumbai, on top of the double-decker buses, coochie-cooing by the rocks, having a policeman say ‘go home’ and all that. We have really fond memories of this place,” he added.

Earlier this year, in a candid chat with Pinkvilla, the actor had opened up on the female attention he derives. "I wish I was as fit as people imagine me to be but now I am 50 years old. I think Anil Kapoor is fitter than me, he is an amazing guy. But about the photos, my wife sometimes tells me to behave. She pulls my leg. I never put that photo deliberately. Actually, Sarita and I were having our usual banter on if I have gained or lost weight. I think I was shooting in Chennai when I told her that I have lost weight and she did not believe me, so I sent her the photo as proof," he shared. 

On the work front, Madhavan is gearing up for his next romantic comedy release, Decoupled, which also features Surveen Chawla. The show, directed by Hardik Mehta, will premiere on Netflix on December 17.
