The actor couldn\u2019t be happier. \u201cIt\u2019s like being told I\u2019ve been doing something right. My life as an actor has always been unpredictable and you know what? I like it that way. Stability is for real life. By God\u2019s grace, I have a fabulous wife and a son who makes me proud every day. Movies are where I seek adventure and excitement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy career has been like a rollercoaster. I started on television, then satellite, then Tamil cinema, and Hindi cinema. God has been kind. I never really had to encounter failure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And now, the Padma Shri. \u201cIt is truly the icing on the cake. I couldn\u2019t be happier. My family and I are celebrating. We\u2019ve never been happier.\u201d Madhavan believes his journey is far from over. \u201cThe Padma Shri gives me a born-again feeling.
