R Madhavan turns barren land into thriving coconut farm in Tamil Nadi, shares 3 lessons from his sustainable farming journey

R Madhavan may have established himself as an actor, but his interests outside cinema have also taken him into sustainable farming. Along with his brother Subayogan, Madhavan took on the challenge of restoring a barren piece of land near Palani in Tamil Nadu. Over time, the dry patch was transformed into a flourishing coconut plantation. What initially began as an experiment eventually became a long-term learning experience for the brothers. Rather than following a single agricultural method, they combined traditional practices with organic and modern techniques to understand how the land could be made productive again. The transformation did not happen overnight. It took nearly three-and-a-half years of consistent effort for the barren land to become a green and productive plantation. Madhavan and his brother worked on improving the soil, managing water resources and finding methods suited to the land's requirements. The plantation eventually featured dwarf, non-hybrid coconut tr...

Shaan shares his views on Saiyaara's soundtrack: "Not a fan of songs that lower your mood"; also confesses, "Never imagined 'Behti Hawa Sa Tha Woh' would become such a huge hit"

In a conversation with Komal Nahta, singer Shaan candidly opened up about certain songs and film soundtracks and made honest confessions. He admitted that he had never imagined that ‘Behti Hawa Sa Tha Woh’ from 3 Idiots (2009) would go on to become such a huge hit. Shaan was asked, “Do you get an understanding that a song is going to work?” He replied, “Not really. I’ll give you an example. I never imagined ‘Behti Hawa Sa Tha Woh’ will work in such a big way. After all, it’s a situational song. Aamir Khan is not even there when the song is played in the film. Bas ek gaadi jaa rahi hai. So, I wondered how the song would hold? Woh meri galat fehmi thi. The song had beautiful lyrics and great composition (smiles). It did so well.” ‘Behti Hawa Sa Tha Woh’ plays right at the beginning of 3 Idiots, during the opening credits. Farhan (R Madhavan) receives a call from Chatur (Omi Vaidya), who informs him that Rancho (Aamir Khan), missing for nearly ten years, has apparently been spotted in Sh...

Arijit Singh’s decision to step away from film playback singing has been one of the biggest developments of 2026. In a conversation with Komal Nahta, Shaan opened up about Arijit’s decision and revealed that he, too, had once contemplated quitting playback singing. When asked about the decision of Arijit Singh, Shaan said, “It's not like he's hung his boots. He's singing and I think he's doing a lot of playback (singing). Aisi baat nahin hai.” Why did he quit singing then? Shaan thought for a few seconds and then replied, “Only he can answer that question (laughs). However, he has recorded many songs that are yet to be released. So, in the next two years, you'll get to hear a lot of Arijit Singh.” He also added, “You never know, he can change his mind. Pathar ki lakeer pe thodi kisi ne likh diya hai.” Shaan then confessed that even he went through a similar dilemma, “I was about 33-34. It was a time when I had sung all kinds of songs. I had also won 2-3 big awards....
