Milind Soman is getting hotter by the day, one marathon at a time. In the latest news the Iron Man of India, has successfully completed yet another marathon. And here we are going out of breath, just reading Milind’s feat. Another addition to his list of achievements – Milind ran 42.2 KM marathon in 4 hours, 32 minutes. How inspiring? Who would believe that the popular actor is 50 years old? He shared the news on Facebook, with a cool picture of himself, with the caption “BMW Berlin-Marathon! Beautiful course, great weather and 42000 runners 🙂 Finished 42.2 km in 4hrs 32min #berlinmarathon2016 #berlinmarathon” Now that is one celebrity we should look up to when it comes to fitness. And not the ones who are pumping their biceps with juices.
Milind has been quite vocal about women’s participation in sports. In an interview, with a news portal he had said, “Women should celebrate their health. We have training programs in every city. They run in running gear, but also in saris, salwar kameez, hijabs or whatever attire they deem fit and keeps them comfortable.” When Milind Soman won the Ironman Triathlon in Zurich last year, he caught everyone’s attention in India and across the world. Talking to Huffington post the Captain Vyom actor had said “I give credit to my mom for inspiring and encouraging me to take sports seriously. She was a professor of biochemistry and at the age of 60 when she retired she started trekking,”
Just 8 weeks ago, Milind’s mother also made headlines. She ran alongside her son in the last stretch of a marathon. Milind Soman‘s 76 year old mother, Usha Soman, ran effortlessly alongside her son barefoot, and wait for the best part – she ran in a saree. And here I think ten times before taking stairs instead of elevators. Last year also Usha Ji participated in a fundraiser and walked 100 kilometres in less than 48 hours.
