# When Your Wife Kicks You Out... For Your Own Good: R. Madhavan's Hilarious COVID Wake-Up Call Imagine testing positive for COVID-19, getting quarantined at home, and then having your wife literally **kick you out**—not out of anger, but to snap you back into action. That's exactly what Bollywood star **R. Madhavan** revealed about his wife **Sarita Birje** during the pandemic.[5] In a candid interview with the Times of India, Madhavan shared how the lockdown turned his world upside down. After recovering from COVID—he tested positive in March 2020 while shooting in Bhopal and later announced he was "all fit and fine" after 14 days of home quarantine—Madhavan slipped into complacency.[3][5] "During COVID, she kicked me out of the house," he recounted, explaining that Sarita pushed him to get back to work amid the financial crunch that hit even celebrities hard.[1] Payments stopped abruptly, and liquidity dried up for months, making the abrupt halt feel like a rug pulled from under his feet.[1] But Sarita wasn't just playing tough love. While Madhavan grappled with the new reality, his wife stepped up in inspiring ways. He shared videos on Instagram of her virtually teaching underprivileged kids across India, interacting with them over video calls and even conducting lessons in Marathi.[2][4][7] Watching her dedication left him feeling "completely incompetent and useless," as he humorously captioned one post. "When wife makes you feel small," he wrote, highlighting her efforts to educate poor children during the crisis when schools were shut.[2] This story isn't just celebrity gossip—it's a relatable tale of partnership and resilience. The pandemic forced everyone to rethink priorities: Madhavan learned to appreciate solitude, handle household chores without domestic help, and value the push from loved ones to keep moving forward.[1] Sarita's actions embodied quiet strength, turning a tough time into a period of growth for their family, including their son Vedaant.
