His shirtless selfie sent the Internet into a meltdown and actor R Madhavan says he is both thankful and embarrassed by the recent attention showered on him by his fans.
The 47-year-old actor’s Instagram photograph, in which he is much leaner and sports a salt and pepper look, has female fans drooling. The picture has garnered more than one lakh likes on Instagram. “Now I’m a little embarrassed and under pressure, because I don’t look like that all the time and I am trying to see if I can be accepted again as a normal-looking guy. That was an unprecedented amount of attention from the world. I am embarrassed and thankful at the same time,” said Madhavan.
The actor is no stranger to female attention. He became a heartthrob after playing a lover boy in Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein back in 2001.
