He revealed that his parents’ approach to marriage served as a guiding principle. "My parents always said, 'We decided to spend our lives together, so why assume things will go wrong? Instead, assume they’ll go right.' They had a joint account for everything, and I thought that made a lot of sense," Madhavan shared.
Adopting this idea, Madhavan suggested that he and Sarita maintain a joint bank account to eliminate financial insecurities. "If Sarita is going to feel insecure every time she looks at her bank account, it’s better that we view it together as a joint account. This way, it belongs to both of us, and she knows she’s an equal signatory," he explained.Madhavan emphasized the importance of trust in marriage, adding, "I’m going to assume this marriage will work. I trust her, and I hope she trusts me."
