Born as S Krishnamurthy on October 19, 1953, Madan Bob was widely recognised for his roles as a comedian in Tamil films and as a host and judge on various television programmes.

He began his career in the film industry as a music composer before making his acting debut in 1984 through Balu Mahendra's film Neengal Kettavai.

Madan Bob's signature facial expressions, infectious laughter, and expressive eye movements became his trademark style, heavily inspired by the yesteryear comedian "Kaka" Radhakrishnan, and his contribution to Tamil entertainment spanned decades, leaving behind a legacy cherished by audiences across generations.
