Madhavan shares motivational post ahead of Dhurandhar 2 release
The actor, who is quite active on social media, recently reshared a video of a young boy who cleared the UPSC exam on his very first attempt. Madhavan seemed particularly inspired by the boy’s journey, preparation, and the strong support he received from his parents, highlighting how determination and guidance can make a difference.The video features Subramania Bharathi, the son of a daily wage labourer, who achieved this remarkable feat with the help of the Tamil Nadu government’s Naan Mudhalvan scheme. Speaking to ANI, he described his journey as extraordinary and said he chose civil services to contribute to society at the grassroots level.
He credited the scheme and coaching support for helping him succeed in his first attempt. Subramania said, “I started this journey when I was just 18 years old, without any guidance. My mother and father were my first inspiration, and they motivated me to serve my nation in the best way possible.”
His father, Mariappan, expressed pride in his son’s achievement, speaking about their modest background and emphasising that hard work, dedication, and the support of the government scheme played a key role in his success. He said, "We come from a poor background. I work as a daily wage labourer in a brick manufacturing unit. I learned about my son's wish to become an IAS officer. Despite our financial struggles, my son studied hard and prepared well for the exam. He dedicatedly studied, and the state government scheme, Naan Mudhalvan, helped him clear the UPSC exam."
