Mumbai: Madhavan has just become a father, with his wife giving birth to a son. “My wife Sarita and I are the proud parents of a baby boy. Both mother and child are healthy and happy, touchwood.” The baby was born in a suburban nursing home in Mumbai just after midnight Sunday. Incidentally, the little one shares his birthday with Sarita’s brother, the brother’s wife and the couple’s daughter. “Even my dog delivered her puppies on Aug 21 last year!

It’s too uncanny. But at least we can save a lot of money on a pooled birthday party,” Maddy jokes. He wants to call his child Vedanta...”the rest of our family willing.”
