I came to watch 5 mins, and ended up watching the entire thing. Maddy never fails to impress. "When you are doing the mating dance, You fluff up your feathers man. You don't keep your feathers fluffed up for the rest of your life" A brilliant anecdote on relationship advice. @Mashable India, This should be the merchandise for Decoupled :)

Nice interview. R Madhavan, you are really one of the fine actors of the industry and I really like your work. Apart from that, we all know your connection with Kolhapur city and I feel proud about it coz I belong to Kolhapur. Apart from that I would highly appreciate you for calling "Mumbai" rather than "Bombay" and learning Marathi. It is a kind of a lesson to many others. 👍🏻❤️
