Do you remember the smoldering hot model that featured in Alisha Chinai’s famous track from the 90’s called Made In India? (Hint: that chiseled torso with those amazing eyes is something a 90’s kid would never forget). Yes, you guessed it right, its Milind Soman who once made every woman fall head over heels (for obvious reasons) and he’s is still one of the most desired men in Bollywood after over two decades.

This 50 year old Bollywood actor, model and athlete follows an inspiring fitness regime and urges India to be cautious about their fitness. If you have not been taking your fitness seriously, Milind Soman might serve as an inspiration towards your daily workouts.

Let us now take a look at this list of reasons why Milind Soman – the Ironman of India has been our ultimate inspiration during all these years.

 

#1 Again, he is often referred to as the Ironman of India

Milind Soman bagged the title of being the ‘Ironman’ in 2015 by successfully completing the world’s toughest Ironman Triathlon in Zurich, Switzerland. What’s more, this god of fitness completed the entire triathlon in just 15 hours and 19 minutes. Well, that’s something that most of us can only aspire to achieve.

#2 He went from being a chain smoker to a non-smoker

Trying to quit smoking is one of the easiest things to do in life, but making it happen is quite the opposite. Talking about going smoke free, Milind Soman turned tables and how! In an interview with NDTV last year, Soman quoted, “Having been naturally inclined to sports since a young age, I felt terrible about myself and that’s how I was able to release the habit for good over six months and now I can’t even passive smoke”. RESPECT!

#3 He is the ambassador of Pinkathon – India’s biggest women’s run to raise awareness about Breast cancer

Milind is a prominent ambassador of Pinkathon, India’s biggest women’s marathon that initiates women empowerment across the country. With its main agenda aiming at influencing women to work towards a healthy lifestyle, Pinkathon is about raising awareness about breast cancer and other issues that need consideration.

#4 From his health to his confidence, he’s been on top!

Everyone knows he’s got a body to die for; boys and girls both want it for different reasons, of course (wink). Talk about his confidence and how effortlessly chilled out his attitude is. For example, that Old Spice advertisement he appeared in? Yeah, we rest our case.

#5 Hollywood has got George Clooney, Bollywood is backed by Milind Soman

You’ve got to agree, nobody else can replace Milind from that tag. In his 50s and with that salt and pepper look that we can’t really remember who else can carry it so well, Milind Soman is the only name to clear out our confusion. And we’re happy with it!
