From a chain-smoker to becoming Ironman, there is much more to Milind Soman than good looks

He runs barefoot

Yes, Milind Soman is all into endurance sports, and has completely given up on shoes, whether at the time of races, or when he has to be a part of a shoot. He claims that this has improved his senses, and encourages and urges everyone to try it once.

He ran from Delhi to Mumbai!

Yes, and that too in the heat of May. Though he did that just once, but we just bow down to this man for attempting and completing this daring act that he did for an environmental cause.

A fitness inspiration

Do you know that Milind Soman was a chain-smoker, but he gave up not only on smoking, but also on sugar?

The fantasy of girl-next-door

Milind has been a part of numerous TV series and Bollywood films, but one such film ‘Rules: Pyaar Ka Superhit Formula’, especially stays in our hearts, for he was the college heartthrob, and the actress was a simpleton totally in love with him. And when he falls in love, sigh!

The dashing coast guard

He just took our breaths away as Commandant Vikram in ‘Seahawks’. There was something magical in that uniform which added to his sexy demeanour that made us go weak in our knees.

The superhero

He was the Captain Vyom in the nineties, making us all in awe, as much as we loved how this man looked in the uniform of a superhero.

Pinkathon ambassador

He completed this, the first marathon of his life in 15 hours and 19 minutes. He challenges the very concept of age at 50. And all, for the noble cause of spreading awareness about Breast Cancer.

He has won the title of ‘Ironman’ in Zurich

That too at the age of 50, in the most difficult triathlon, looking as dishy as ever, in his salt and pepper avatar. This man!

First Supermodel

Did you know that Milind Soman was the first supermodel of India? Well, we simply have no doubts on this fact.

National level swimmer

Given his fitness records, this does not come as a surprise. Sigh, what would we do to get a glimpse of him gliding through the waters.

He was born in Scotland

Not many know but Milind Soman was born in Scotland, and came to India only when he was seven years old.
