You never get second chance to make an impression: R Madhavan

Mumbai: R Madhavan may have managed to give some good performance both in Bollywood and South film industry, but the actor feels one doesn't get more than one chance to make first impression.

"I have always believed that you never get a second chance to make your first impression. And your style more than your clothes, helps you stand out in a crowd. In today's world, that is the first battle to win," Madhavan said in a statement.

"To me good manners and being genuine matter too, as that helps make the biggest impression. This has always been an important style factor with me," he said.

Madhavan was given the Style Icon of the Year trophy at the Provoke awards yesterday. Chennai's Provoke Lifestyle Magazine celebrated its first anniversary by honouring excellence in different spheres of activity.

The "Tanu Weds Manu Returns" actor also gave away the Pride of India award to Apollo Hospitals Chairman Pratap Reddy.

On work front, the actor said he is busy reading scripts.
