Following this, the actor tweeted that he really does not care about respect from the likes of the user. Actor Madhavan goes on to say that he respects every religion as his own and hopes that his son would also do the same. He has prayed at a Gurudwara, Church and Dargah when a temple wasn’t around. He is only reciprocating the kindness that he has received. He also says that he has many staff of different faiths and they all pray at the same altar, and this is a convenience to those who have their faith represented at the altar. He asserts that love and respect are the only religion, which is something he has learnt from extensively traveling.
