R Madhavan is an active social media user who often interacts with his admirers on Twitter. After seeing a photo of Olympic silver medallist Mirabai Chanu eating food while sitting on the floor, the actor said on Thursday that he is absolutely at a ‘loss of words’. Chanu, a Manipur native, has won the women’s weightlifting 49 kg division in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
R Madhavan showed his astonishment by resharing a photo showing Chanu sitting on the floor and eating her food after the great triumph. The actor wrote on Twitter, ‘Hey this cannot be true. I am at a complete loss of words.’
The original tweet stated, ‘Mirabai Chanu at her humble home in Manipur after winning the Silver Medal at the #Olympics… This strong-willed woman didn’t let lack of resources & poverty stop her from achieving her dreams! A true Inspiration!’

While many celebrities congratulated Mirabai Chanu on her medal victory on social media, Radhe star Salman Khan’s tweet was particularly meaningful to her because he is her favourite actor. During one of her earlier interviews, Chanu was questioned about her favourite actor and she picked Salman, stating, ‘Salman Khan mujhe bahut hi pasand hai. Unki body structure, sab pasand hai. (I like Salman Khan and his body structure).’
Congratulations @mirabai_chanu on becoming a nation’s superstar today! You made us proud & how!! Aap to asli dabangg nikli! #Tokyo2020 #TeamIndia
