R Madhavan recently reacted to a photo of Mirabai Chanu, which is being surfaced on the internet. Earlier this week, the Olympic silver medalist came back to India and received a warm welcome.

While Mirabai Chanu was celebrating her Tokyo 2020 win, a photo of her having a meal at her home was being surfaced on the internet. The photo had Mirabai Chanu eating while sitting on the floor in a space that looked like a kitchen.

The original tweet read, "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!". The Tanu Weds Manu actor reacted to the photo and expressed how the photo left him at a loss of words. He wrote, "Hey this cannot be true. I am at a complete loss of words.". However, the photo being surfaced online was an old one as the Padma Shri awardee recently shared some snaps from her home.
