Previously, Madhavan in December 2021 had announced that he and his wife Sarita are moving to Dubai to help their son prepare for the upcoming Olympics. He had said, “The larger swimming pools in Mumbai are either closed because of Covid or out of bounds. We are here with Vedaant in Dubai where he has access to large pools. He’s working towards the Olympics, and Sarita (his wife) and I are right by his side.”
