R. Madhavan is ‘not ashamed’ of his most expensive purchase, it's not luxury cars, diamonds Or Bungalows

When people think of Bollywood stars and their big spends, the images that come to mind are usually high-end cars, sprawling homes, or million-dollar watches. But R. Madhavan’s most extravagant buy is none of those—and he’s proud of it.

In a conversation with Curly Tales, the actor revealed that his most expensive purchase wasn’t a luxury bungalow or a sports car, but a yacht. It’s not the stereotypical 75-foot Caribbean boat either, but a smaller one he keeps in Dubai. Madhavan admitted it was his biggest splurge, one he’s “not ashamed” of, and said he has no regrets about putting money into something that gives him joy.

The actor has also been candid about the financial realities of working in Bollywood. In another interview, he explained why Indian actors tend to be cautious about their choices. Unlike Hollywood, there are no residuals or royalties for actors here. Madhavan pointed out that if he had been a Hollywood actor, films like 3 Idiots, Rang De Basanti, and Tanu Weds Manu would have been enough to secure his family’s financial future for generations. He even cited Amrish Puri, who still receives royalties from his role in Steven Spielberg’s Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
