And in a recent interaction with Sonia Shenoy on her YouTube channel, the actor shared his grandfather’s advice to him.Maddy said, “My largest investments, throughout my career, have been what my grandfather told me: ‘As soon as you get money, bury it in land.’ So I used to mostly invest in land and property early on in my career.”The actor stated that those investments have turned out to be great. He expressed that his requirements at that time were very limited, as he was just starting out his career 25 years ago. During the conversation, he further shared, “I was not one of those guys who wanted to buy the most expensive cars and most expensive jewelry to show off.” He stated that “being pretty middle class” in his approach, all his investments were in real estate. He added that those became “quite an asset.”Madhavan revealed that when he tried to invest in stocks, bonds, and shares, he was “extremely unlucky” with that. However, he acknowledged the fact that he should have pursued it instead of not investing in them.The actor shared that the middle-class mindset doesn’t like to give control of their money to anyone else; hence, he didn’t get help from the experts.
R Madhavan shares if he still has middle-class thinking
Next, the host asked if he still has a middle class in his thinking. Answering the same, R. Madhavan said, “The middle-class attitude is that of survival. It is not bombastic in nature. It is thinking about the future, family, a collective growth aspect, and not taking unmitigated risks.”He added that this attitude is soaked in “culture, tradition, and being humble, which is one of the biggest things.”The actor further explained that it’s a “great and survival” attitude. He added, “It’s an attitude that keeps you grounded. It almost makes you feel guilty if you splurge money. So that’s the attitude that I still maintain right now. It served me well.”
