In September this year, R Madhavan took to Instagram to praise the infrastructure at the newly-opened terminal of Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) in Bengaluru. In the video, the actor talked about the luxurious garden-themed international terminal and called it “exotic” and declared that the terminal has the “best infrastructure”.
“It’s incredible what the infrastructure in India is becoming! I’m at the new Kempegowda International Airport. And I’m telling you, it looks like an exotic… exotic place! Nobody will believe that this is an airport,” he said in the clip.
He added, “And all the plants you see hanging from the ceiling in different parts of the airport are actually real plants, that are being watered every day, from the ceiling. And a lot of the construction as you can see above are all made of bamboo. Just look at the ceiling. And it’s all themed around sustainability in India. Very proud! Very well done man!”
