Many Bollywood celebrities took to social media and shared Vedaant’s amazing feat on their own social media handles, and simultaneously congratulated Madhavan and his wife Sarita. Kangana Ranaut, who has shared screen space with Madhavan in the award-winning film, ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ and its sequel ‘Tanu Weds Manu: Returns’, took to her Instagram stories to wish Vedaant. Priyanka Chopra also congratulated the couple and their son and said that it’s an amazing feat. Replying to her comment, Madhavan thanked her and said that he was thrilled and excited. Shilpa Shetty took to Instagram and wrote, “Winning for the Tricolour with flying colors.”

Madhavan had in 2021 announced that he and his wife were moving to Dubai to ensure the best training for their son who is preparing for the Olympics. Madhavan had told Bollywood Hungama that the larger swimming pools in Mumbai are either closed because of Covid or out of bounds. He had revealed that they are in Dubai to have access to large pools as Vedaant is working towards the Olympics.
