R Madhavan Reveals The Secret To His Youthful Skin At 55 Is Just Coconut Oil And No Botox
R Madhavan is undoubtedly a prolific actor. But there is another aspect that makes his admirers equally intrigued. It is his healthy and youthful skin, even at the age of 55. According to R Madhavan, the key to his fresh-faced appearance is following a nutritious diet, generous sleep, and being natural, even in wellness rituals. View this post on Instagram A post shared by R. Madhavan (@actormaddy) The 3 Idiots film star, in a conversation with GQ magazine, spilled all his skin and haircare secrets. R Madhavan said, 'I play golf in the early morning sun. I get tanned, yes, but it helps with skin tightening and keeping it wrinkle-free; the sun suits me. And I haven't gotten any fillers or enhancements done; maybe the occasional facial for a role. It's just coconut oil, coconut water, sunshine and vegetarian food doing the heavy lifting.' Speaking about his dietary preferences, R Madhavan revealed, 'When I was young, we didn't have a fridge at home, so food always had to be freshly prepared. That habit stuck. It's probably why fast food, packaged stuff, reheated dishes or non-seasonal fruits don't go down well with my body. Even when I'm on set, I take my chef along to cook simple meals like dal, sabzi and chawal —the kind my mom made.' The 55-year-old sees no harm in consuming rice, claiming that his grandparents, who lived over 90 years, made rice a part of their diet three times a day. He added, 'I just listen to my body, stick to comfort food, and avoid fried items and alcohol as much as possible. I eat only when I'm hungry, not by the clock. That keeps me alert, happy and young.' When asked about his haircare routine, R Madhavan shared, 'Since childhood, I've taken an oil bath every Sunday—with nalla ennai [sesame oil]. You apply it all over your body, especially your head. On other days, it's coconut oil, applied in a specific manner. This ayurvedic practice has served me well for over 20 years.'

R Madhavan On Romance In Films: ‘Chemistry Begins The Moment You Meet'
Last Updated: R Madhavan talks about the significance of chemistry in romantic movies, sharing his initial encounter with Fatima Sana Shaikh during the making of Aap Jaisa Koi. R Madhavan, in romantic roles, delighted audiences for years, from the tender moments in Alaipayuthey to the charming chemistry in Aap Jaisa Koi. But for the actor, the true magic of romance on screen begins long before the cameras roll – it's in that pivotal moment when he meets his co-star for the first time. In a recent interview, the actor opened up about his approach to on-screen romance, sharing his initial encounter with Fatima Sana Shaikh during the making of Aap Jaisa Koi. While talking to Filmamre, the 3 Idiots actor revealed, 'When you do a romantic film, one of the moments of truth for me is when I meet my co-star. You're hoping and praying that you don't have to work too much because chemistry is something you can't explain. It's a chemical reaction." He went on to recall his first meeting with Fatima Sana Shaikh for Aap Jaisa Koi, saying, 'It was a small, cosy room in the Dharma office. We were sitting at a distance, and during the narration, she quietly shuffled over to my side, sat next to me, and just started talking. The comfort level was amazing — unspoken, natural. You can't write that into a script. For me, it is very important to fall in love with my heroine to be able to give that chemistry." 'I think the highest form of love is respect; if that's not there, to kuch bhi nai rahega (then nothing will be there). And that was instinctive for me when I met her," he added. For Madhavan, respect is the highest form of love, and he found himself instinctively respecting Fatima. Aap Jaisa Koi: A Heartwarming Tale of Second Chances In Aap Jaisa Koi, R Madhavan shines as Shrenu Tripathi, a 42-year-old man who embraces life's complexities, love, and new beginnings. Opposite him, Fatima Sana Shaikh brings to life Madhu Bose, and together they craft a tender narrative that beautifully captures the joy of finding a deep, equal connection in unexpected places. This poignant film is now streaming on Netflix. First Published: July 14, 2025, 14:39 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

Now, actress Neha Dhupia has lauded the project for smashing the patriarchal mindset. Taking to Instagram, Neha re-shared the poster of Aap Jaisa Koi and wrote in the caption, 'I loved Aap Jaisa Koi.

Congratulations Vivek Soni, Karan Johar and Apoorva Mehta 2 and also such great performances…so well done guys… congratulations R Madhavan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ayesha Raza Mishra, Namit Das, Manish Chaudhari and the entire cast and crew." Aap Jaisa Koi follows the love story of Srirenu Tripathi, a Sanskrit teacher from Jamshedpur and Madhu Bose, a French teacher from Kolkata.

Aap Jaisa Koi marks R Madhavan and Fatima's first on-screen collaboration. Recently, speaking about the film and sharing the screen with the Tanu Weds Manu actor, Fatima told Zoom, 'It's a very sweet film. Vivek Soni is an excellent director—I believe he is one of the most giftmong the newer directors. He has a strong visual voice, and when you see his films, you know it's Vivek Soni, which is quite remarkable. Also, I adore Maddy—he is amazing. He's been the country's crush for years, and I think his smile is still the most gorgeous of any actor. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him." Coming back to Neha, she was last seen as a gang leader in the adventure reality show, Roadies Double X, alongside Prince Narula, Rhea Chakraborty, Elvish Yadav and Gautam Gulati. On the Bollywood front, she made a cameo appearance in Vicky Kaushal, Triptii Dimri and Ammy Virk's Bad Newz. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

R Madhavan On Dhurandhar Co-Star Ranveer Singh: "A Couple Of "Not-So-Good" Films Don't End His Career"
R Madhavan has come to the defence of his Dhurandhar co-star Ranveer Singh. The actor dismissed concerns about Ranveer being "written off" in the industry after a couple of "not so good" films. In an interview with The Indian Express, R Madhavan shut down the chatter around Ranveer's so-called 'comeback.' The actor said, 'I don't think Ranveer Singh has ever been written off. A couple of 'not so good' films don't end an actor's career. He's truly good and an extraordinary actor. But, it makes a good copy in the press and media to keep writing people off and bring them back.' R Madhavan added, "If you see the great actors in Hollywood like Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks, they don't do 50-60 films in their lifetime. They barely do 14-15 movies in their entire life. Even the biggest of stars, they also don't do beyond 15 films in their lifetime. That is the pace of doing good stories. Here we think that if we are not shooting for three months, it means we are losing our market. Both Ranveer and I don't come from that insecurity." Madhavan further went on to discuss how filmmaking has changed in the modern day. He pointed out that the audience of today is more knowledgeable and capable, and making movies for this new Indian audience requires patience and accuracy. "This is a whole new era. Now, we have to work really hard for our characters and stories to convince our audience because the common man today is well-educated. If we are making a movie for the empowered Indian then we will have to make efficient films. It takes time. So writing us off and writing us in is the job of the media, but we don't think we are going anywhere," said the actor. Apart from R Madhavan and Ranveer Singh, Dhurandhar also features Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna and Arjun Rampal in key roles. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the film is set to release on December 5.
