In
a
proud
moment
for
actor
R
Madhavan,
his
son
Vedaant
has
brought
glory
to
his
family
by
winning
a
silver
medal
in
an
international
swimming
championship.
The
14-year-old
bagged
the
medal
for
4X100m
freestyle
relay
at
the
Asian
Age
Group
Swimming
Championship
being
held
in
Bengaluru.
This
was
Vedaant's
(first
from
right,
pictured
below)
maiden
official
medal,
representing
India.
His
father,
who
couldn't
be
happier,
took
to
Instagram
and
shared
the
news
with
his
fans
and
colleagues.
He
shared
a
collage
of
pictures
of
his
son
who
can
be
seen
along
with
his
teammates
holding
their
respective
medals.
He
captioned
the
picture,
"India
gets
her
Silver
medal
at
the
Asian
Games.
Gods
grace
..
Vedaants
first
official
medal
representing
India."

Many
celebrities
including
Abhishek
Bachchan,
Rohit
Roy,
Anup
Soni
and
Shilpa
Shetty's
husband
and
Madhavan's
good
friend
Raj
Kundra
wished
Vedaant
by
commenting
on
the
actor's
post.
It
is
to
be
noted
that
Vedaant
had
earlier
won
another
swimming
championship
in
April
2018
in
Thailand.
Madhavan
had
announced
that
on
social
media
too,
and
commemorated
that
victory
as
well.
He
had
captioned
the
picture,
"proud
moment
for
Sarita
and
I
as
Vedaant
wins
his
first
medal
for
India
in
an
international
swim
meet
in
Thailand
today.
Thank
you
for
all
your
blessings."

On
the
work
front,
Madhavan's
'Rocketry:
The
Namby
Effect'
will
hit
the
big
screens
soon.
The
film
is
based
on
the
life
of
Nambi
Narayanan,
a
former
scientist
and
aerospace
engineer
of
the
Indian
Space
Research
Organisation
(ISRO).
He
was
falsely
accused
of
being
a
spy.
Written,
directed
and
produced
by
Madhavan
himself,
the
movie
will
also
feature
Tamil
actor
Simran
Bagga
in
the
lead.
The
film
will
reportedly
be
simultaneously
released
in
Hindi,
Tamil,
and
English.
It
was
earlier
announced
that
the
film
would
release
in
2019
itself.
However,
the
official
release
date
is
yet
to
be
announced.
