R Madhavan, who recently celebrated his 27th wedding anniversary with wife Sarita<\/a>, once opened up about the secret behind their enduring marriage and why remaining faithful was never a challenge for him despite working alongside some of the industry’s most beautiful actresses.In a 2015 interview with ETimes, Madhavan spoke candidly about his relationship with Sarita and credited her for being his strongest pillar of support.<\/p>\n

\u2018I am very lucky to have her in my life\u2019<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

When asked who he loved the most in the world, Madhavan had a clear answer.\u201cMy wife Sarita. She understands me completely, keeps me totally grounded and is also my complete foil who takes care of my son, my parents and my finances. She gives me the complete freedom that I so desire to be an effective actor. She is used to my temper and follies and is fearless in telling me how good or bad I am.\u201dPraising her role within the family, he added, \u201cShe never actually expresses how hard she works for me and for the sake of the family and never expects credit for it. She is more of a child to my parents than I am and they adore her. I am very lucky to have her in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s the easy way out to remain loyal\u2019<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Asked how he had remained faithful to his wife in an industry where extra-marital affairs are often discussed, Madhavan said loyalty came naturally to him.\u201cI think it\u2019s 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.\u201dThe actor then shared an anecdote about his family values.\u201cMy 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018I am that darpok Madrasi middle-class man\u2019<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Madhavan also admitted that while he appreciated beauty, he always preferred returning home to his wife.\u201cAt the end of the day, I am that darpok Madrasi middle-class man and while I am extremely attracted to attractive girls, at the end of the day, I balance off going back home and cuddling my wife as opposed to giving an excuse on why I am not there.\u201dHe revealed that transparency was a part of their relationship from the very beginning.\u201cFrom the beginning of our relationship, she did not even have to ask, my mobiles are always with her and my accounts are always with her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018I didn\u2019t want to test myself\u2019<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

The actor also recalled a piece of advice from filmmaker Mani Ratnam that stayed with him throughout his marriage.\u201cMani Ratnam gave me an advice on how not to have to test relationships. He said, \u2018When there is something going good with a relationship, don\u2019t keep testing it to see how much she loves you. Just let it be.\u2019 Sometimes testing is the thing that spoils everything.\u201dMadhavan admitted that he took practical steps to avoid temptation, especially after becoming a star.\u201cSo when I became a star in Tamil and had this crazy girl following, I was the first one to announce that I was married even though I was advised against it. I would open all my girl fan mail along with Sarita. I would insist on taking her for any exotic outdoor shoots not because I wanted her to know that I am loyal, but I didn\u2019t want to test myself.\u201dHe added, \u201cOver a period of time, it became a habit and it worked for me. And I think she too likes the fact that I am sorted, that I don\u2019t mince my words and that she does not have to guess what I am trying to imply with what I say or do.\u201dMadhavan married Sarita on June 6, 1999. The couple share a son, Vedaant Madhavan, and continue to be regarded as one of the most enduring couples in the entertainment industry.<\/div>\n
