Madhavan recounted an incident where a young fan messaged him on Instagram, praising his acting and ending the message with heart and kiss emojis. He responded with a polite "Thank you," but the fan took a screenshot of his reply and shared it as a post, making it seem like he was reciprocating the affectionate emojis.
