R
Madhavan
shuts
down
trolls
for
objecting
to
CROSS
In
his
prayer
room

FilmiBeat
Actor
Madhavan,
who
has
never
shied
away
from
sharing
casual
photos
on
social
media
platforms,
recently
shared
a
photo
of
him
with
his
family.
He
was
seen
in
a
dhoti
and
it
looked
like
the
picture
was
taken
during
'Avani
Avittam',
a
Hindu
festival.
However,
a
set
of
people,
who
can
take
offense
to
anything
and
everything,
tried
to
troll
the
actor.
He
shared
a
photo
with
his
son
Vedaant
and
his
father
Ranganathan
and
captioned
it,
"Wish
you
all
a
very
happy
INDEPENDENCE
DAY,
RAKSHA
BANDHAN
AND
AVANI
AVITTAM.
Prayers
for
peace
and
prosperity
for
ALL
in
this
world
continues."
(sic)
A
cross,
which
was
placed
in
the
Pooja
mandal
of
his
home
was
noticed
by
a
troll
and
he
lashed
out
at
the
Rocketry
actor
and
even
called
him
'fake'.
Madhavan
shut
him
down
with
an
epic
reply.
Madhavan
wrote
a
detailed
reply
to
the
troll
and
stated
that
he
respects
all
religions
equally.
He
wrote,
"I
really
don't
worry
about
respect
from
the
likes
of
you.
I
hope
you
get
well
soon.
Surprised
that
in
u
r
sickness
you
did
not
see
the
Golden
temple
pic
there
too
and
asked
if
I
converted
to
Sikhism."
(sic)
The
troll
tried
to
shame
Madhavan
by
marking
the
cross
in
the
photo
and
sharing
it.
He
wrote,
"Why
do
they
have
a
cross
in
the
background?
Is
that
a
Mandir?
You
just
lost
my
respect.
Do
you
find
Hindu
Gods
in
Christian
churches?
All
this
is
fake
drama
you
did
today."
(sic)
The
actor
continued,
"I
have
blessing
from
the
Dargas
there
too
and
blessing
from
all
religious
places
around
the
world.
Some
gifted
and
some
bought.
My
home
is
home
to
staff
from
all
faiths
and
we
pray
at
a
common
alter.
Like
any
defence
personal
will
tell
you,
happens
in
every
unit.
I
have
been
taught
from
my
very
childhood
to
maintain
my
identity
with
pride
but
at
the
same
time
RESPECT
each
and
every
faith,
belief
and
region.
'Yemmadhamum
Sammadham'
(I
respect
each
religion
as
my
own).
I
hope
my
son
follows
that
too."
(sic)
He
added
that
nothing
has
stopped
him
from
going
to
other
religious
places
when
he
couldn't
visit
a
temple.
"I
have
prayed
at
every
Darga,
Gurudwara
and
Church.
I
have
had
the
good
fortune
to
visit
when
a
temple
was
not
around.
They
have
shown
me
utmost
love
and
respect
knowing
that
I
am
a
Hindu.
How
can
I
not
reciprocate
that.
All
I
have
is
a
lot
of
love
and
respect
to
give
as
my
vast
travels
and
experience
has
proved,
is
the
only
true
faith.
Peace
and
love
to
you
too
(sic),"
he
posted.
The
actor's
reply
received
tremendous
support
from
his
fans.
