Actor R. Madhavan was humbled when he got a marriage proposal from an 18-year-old fan, which the married star naturally declined.
It all started when the actor posted a selfie on Instagram after an exhausting day.

"Editing is so much fun and exhausting: Enjoying and fearing it. End of long travel day. Definitely getting older," he posted along with the selfie flaunting his salt and pepper look.
"Is it wrong that I am 18 and want to get married to you?" commented a user.
Madhavan took notice of the comment and responded: "Ha ha ha. God bless you. You will find someone way more worthier."

At the moment, the actor is busy with "Rocketry: The Nambi Effect", which is based on the life of scientist and aerospace engineer S. Nambi Narayanan. The marks the directorial debut of Madhavan, who also essays the role of the protagonist.
The film is slated for release later this year.
This isn't the first time R Madhavan's photo is breaking the Internet. In 2017, the actor shared a shirtless selfie, in which he sported a much leaner look. The picture went crazy viral in no time and collected thousands of likes on Instagram.
It was reported that R Madhavan lost some 11 kilos at that time. A few days after posting the selfie, R Madhavan opened up about the viralness and said that it left him 'embarrassed.' In an interview, he said: "Now I'm a little embarrassed and under pressure because I don't look like that all the time and I am trying to see if I can be accepted again as a normal-looking guy.
That was an unprecedented amount of attention from the world. I am embarrassed and thankful at the same time."
Here's the selfie we are talking about:
