Actor R. Madhavan, known for his charm on-screen and sincerity off-screen, marked a special personal milestone with a heartwarming tribute to his wife, Sarita Birje, as the couple celebrated their 26th wedding anniversary. The actor took to social media to express his deep love and gratitude for his life partner, offering fans a rare glimpse into their enduring bond.
Sharing a candid photo of the two of them together — their smiles glowing with familiarity and warmth — Madhavan penned an emotional message reflecting on their journey of over two and a half decades. “Twenty-six years of being married, and a lifetime of memories to cherish,” he wrote. “Sarita, you have given me so much more than I could have ever asked for — unwavering support, infinite love, and a reason to keep striving every single day.”
In his message, the Rocketry actor didn’t just reflect on the good times. He also acknowledged the challenges they’ve weathered together — the highs and lows of life in the public eye, the pressures of showbiz, and the everyday hurdles of marriage. “You stood by me through every phase — when I was unsure, when I was struggling, and even when I was chasing wild dreams. You believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself,” he added.
The couple’s love story began in the late 1990s when Sarita, then a successful air hostess, attended one of Madhavan’s public speaking classes. The friendship blossomed into romance, and the two tied the knot in 1999. Since then, their bond has stood the test of time, inspiring fans with its authenticity and resilience. They have a son, Vedaant, who is also gaining recognition in the sporting world as a national-level swimmer.

Happy Anniversary, my love.”
