    What's the story

    Actor R Madhavan is gushing after his son Vedaant qualified for a 200-meter event at the first position at the 2022 Danish Open swimming meet.

    Back in December last year, the Rocketry: The Nambi Effect actor had revealed they were shifting to Dubai so that Vedaant can properly train.

    He aims to participate in the 2026 Olympic Games.
