Madhu's Daughter Slams Singer's Misleading Birthday Post for Legendary Actor

On September 25th, 2025, singer G. Venugopal's birthday post for legendary actor Madhu stirred up a social media debate. Madhu's daughter, Uma Jayalakshmi, responded to the claims made in Venugopal's post, expressing her disappointment. She stated that Venugopal's comments about her father's current life and financial situation were not true.

Sreekumaran Thampi, a close friend of Madhu, also criticized Venugopal's remarks as completely baseless. Thampi emphasized that spreading unverified information creates unnecessary trouble for Madhu's family and friends. He further clarified that Madhu's assets were never sold for films, contrary to the suggestions made in Venugopal's post.

Following the backlash and Thampi's clarification, Venugopal edited the misleading sections of his original birthday message for Madhu. The singer's post now reads, "My birthday wishes to the Raj Kapoor of Malayalam cinema. Sir, may you continue to stay with us in good health for many more years -- that's my prayer! Happy Birthday Madhu Sir VG."
