R Madhavan who has been riding high with the success of 'Shaitaan' where he played the antagonist opposite Ajay Devgn and Jyotika has revealed about an interesting thing he has purchased recently. In an interview, R Madhavan shared insights into his most significant purchases to date, with his yacht ranking second only to his house.
Madhavan shared his journey of fulfilling a long-held dream of obtaining a captain’s license and owning a yacht. He explained, “The most expensive purchase that I bought is the house that I have. It’s quite expensive. Does a family of three require that big a house? Not at all. But apart from that house the most expensive thing I got was a yacht. I bought it because I always wanted to take a captain’s license and during Covid I had nothing to do so I gave my exam and it took me six months. So, now I am a licensed captain who can sail a 40-foot yacht or a boat and just to scratch that off my bucket list, I bought the yacht and I enjoy it thoroughly.”
Madhavan also shared that travelling in the Yatch has also brought him tranquility and Nirvana, helping him on his spiritual side too. Madhavan shared, he said, “It is a place for me to write. I take it out to the sea and I park overnight, I look at the dolphins fly around as I write my stories, it is the best purchase of my life. It is parked in Dubai. It has brought me a lot closer to nirvana.”
A 30 or 40-foot yacht costs anything between $500,000 to $2 million, (Rs 5 Cr to 15 Crs). He also said that he has parked the Yatch at Dubai. Madhavan shifted to Dubai during COVID for the sake of his son who is a professional swimmer. His son Vedant, also won many medals and is on his way to become international professional swimmer.
