Actor and fitness enthusiast Milind Soman recently emphasized the significance of women’s fitness and awareness in creating a healthier nation.
Women as Role Models in Health
During an event organized by Zydus Pinkathon, Milind highlighted the pivotal role women play in influencing family health. He articulated how embracing a healthy lifestyle enables women to lead their households towards improved well-being.
“I feel that if women stay fit and understand what a healthy lifestyle truly means, they can also guide their families and help build healthier households. And if families become healthy, our society will become healthier, and in turn, our country will also remain healthy,” Milind stated.
Celebrating Active Ageing
Recently, Milind attended a special Grandmothers’ 10K run at the Vivekanand Education Society grounds in Chembur, which saw participation from over 50 senior women. On this occasion, he stressed the importance of active ageing, encouraging grandmothers to challenge stereotypes through fitness and active engagement.
He remarked that observing older women stay active serves as an inspiration for both their peers and younger generations to rethink and redefine ageing.
“There’s this stereotype that grandmothers sit at home, making dough or knitting. We want to break this stereotype and also encourage grandmothers to live more active lives by inspiring them through each other. Just because you’re over 60 or 70 doesn’t mean life has to slow down. You can still participate in events, represent your country, and do whatever you want. This event isn’t just for grandmothers; it’s also for those watching them. We want younger people to see this and say, this is how I want to grow old,” Milind explained.
Work Highlights
On the professional front, Milind has garnered attention for his role as a fitness advocate in the web series “The Royals,” rather than a traditional acting role. His most recent acting appearance was in the period drama “Paurashpur.”
