Vedaant Madhavan, the son of actor R Madhavan, is preparing for the 2026 Asian Games in Japan. The 21-year-old swimmer is training with a focus on performance as he looks to represent India at the multi-sport event. Multiple outlets report that he has spent significant time in Dubai as part of his preparation.
