Twitter user slams R Madhavan for keeping ‘crucifix’ at home

On Independence Day which also happened to be Raksha Bandhan and Avani Avittam, R Madhavan took to his social media handle to wish all his fans a godspeed on the special occasion. Sharing a picture of him doing puja with his son, the actor wrote, “Wish you all a very happy INDEPENDENCE DAY, RAKSHA BANDHAN AND AVANI AVITTAM. Prayers for peace and prosperity for ALL in this world continues.”

Following his puja upload, one fan however, was quick to notice the Christian Crucifix at the backdrop and wasted no time to lash out at the actor. Questioning his religious sway, the user tweeted, “Why do they have a across in the background?! Is that a Mandir? You just lost my respect. Do you find Hindu Gods in Christian churches? All this is fake drama you did today!”

Unaffected by the religious picking of the Twitter user, R Madhavan responded with a secular answer citing that he respects all faiths, “I really don’t worry about respect from the likes of you. I hope you get well soon. My home is home to staff of all faiths and we pray at a common alter.

Schooling the user to respect all faiths, the actor continued, “I have been taught from my very childhood to maintain my identity with pride but at the same time respect each and every faith, belief and region. 'YemmadhamumSammadham' (I respect each religion as my own). I hope my son follows that too.”
