Actor R. Madhavan's 12-year-old son won a bronze medal for India in the 1500 meter freestyle at the Thailand Age Group Swimming Championship 2018.
Madhavan announced the news on Instagram on Monday.
"Proud moment for Sarita (his wife) and I, as Vedaant wins his first medal for India in an international swim meet in Thailand today. Thank you for all your blessings," he posted along with a photograph of his son holding the medal and certificate with the backdrop of a stadium.
While Madhavan is elated at his son’s victory, he was admittedly heartbroken when he had to withdraw from Rohit Shetty’s action drama Simmba. Madhavan has recently undergone a shoulder surgery and has been asked by the doctors to hit the bed for a while. The actor has especially been advised to not strain himself with action sequences.
Madhavan had taken to Twitter to express his disappointment at the news. He had shared the news with a post that read, “Hey folks .. So I am a huge crazy fan of Rohit Shetty and his films. As is my son. It breaks both our hearts that I’m not able to be a part of this film because of my injury. I’m well on my way to recovery but this is a huge opportunity and excitement lost.”
