Quotes
Sarita Birje
R Madhavan’s wife, whose reaction to his shirtless social-media posts he recalled
“Now that you ask me, I don't even know why I put up those pictures. I am questioning myself here. Is it to see if I still have it? Is it the fear that I am not being seen enough and that people will forget me? But I don't do it too frequently now.”

“I am embarrassed! I don't know why it happens! I am not the hottest-looking guy. Hrithik Roshan is a Greek God, and he should have that appeal. I am in awe of him. Why I would have it, I really don't understand.”
