Actor R. Madhavan revealed that simple, home-cooked Indian food was the secret behind his grandparents' longevity, as both lived into their early nineties. Their daily meals included staples such as idli, sambar, rasam pongal, rice, and vegetables, a diet completely devoid of the supplements popular today. Madhavan noted his grandfather maintained naturally black hair until his passing, a testament to their health.
Madhavan stated he adopts a similar dietary approach himself, ensuring simple meals like dal, sabzi, and chawal are prepared by his personal chef even on set. He questioned the emphasis on avoiding rice, citing his grandparents' consistent consumption of it three times a day throughout their long lives.
In a separate career update, Madhavan's recent film 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' achieved significant success, grossing over Rs 1800 crore globally and becoming the second highest-grossing Indian film ever. The actor has multiple upcoming projects including 'Alpha', 'Dahi Cheeni', and 'Tanu Weds Manu 3'.
