Actor-fitness icon Milind Soman completes 30 years in entertainment: Part of narratives that align with my well being
'This is going to be a great year for me,' says the actor-model, looking back at his many years in the industry. The 59-year-old who was recently seen in The Royals adds, 'My experience has allowed me to truly grasp the nuances of acting. Today, I know the layers of this craft; I enjoy my work and bringing my characters to life.'
The actor shares that he has allocated one hundred days a year to acting, he says, 'This is to ensure that I am part of good narratives that align with my priority for health and well-being. I believe in balancing work and life. If I am not in a fit and healthy space, it will sooner or later impact my work.'
"One should prioritise a healthy being. Otherwise, earning money only to spend it on health issues yields no gain. Over the years, I have learned to focus on my well-being and cultivating happy surroundings, as that is what truly allows you to enjoy your professional life," Milind explains.
Milind is making significant in-roads in the streaming space — he is all set to return to the small screen with Four More Shots Please! as well as an untitled Tamil web series with actor Vijay Sethupathi. As for OTT, he believes, 'is the place to be.' However, he asserts that his passion transcends mediums: 'Irrespective of medium, space, or region, I just want to work.'
After spending three decades in entertainment, the actor shares that his priority is maintaining a healthy work-life balance. 'I've allocated 100 days a year to acting to ensure that I'm part of good narratives that align with my priority for health and well-being,' he says.

Kajol's hilarious reaction to Prithviraj's Aiyyaa dance with Rani Mukerji leaves fans in splits: 'They should do a fun movie together...'
Kajol and Prithviraj Sukumaran's promotional video for 'Sarzameen' took an amusing turn when a clip from 'Aiyyaa,' featuring Prithviraj's 'Dreamum Wakeupum' sequence, surfaced. Kajol's infectious laughter and Prithviraj's visible embarrassment over the scene, which he humorously described as objectifying him, have captivated the internet, sparking humorous reactions from fans. In a delightful promotional video for their upcoming film Sarzameen, Kajol and Prithviraj Sukumaran took a trip down memory lane—but things got hilariously awkward when the infamous Dreamum Wakeupum sequence from Aiyyaa played on screen. Kajol's uncontrollable laughter and Prithviraj 's embarrassed reaction have since taken the internet by storm. Kajol can't stop laughing Kayoze Irani shared a behind-the-scenes video featuring Kajol and Prithviraj Sukumaran seated with a laptop, revisiting iconic scenes from their past films. The clip kicks off with Dreamum Wakeupum from Aiyyaa, showing Prithviraj dancing with Rani Mukerji . Kajol instantly bursts into laughter, leaving Prithviraj visibly embarrassed and fans thoroughly entertained. Watch the video here: Prithviraj tries to escape the cringe As Kajol teased him, an embarrassed Prithviraj was seen trying to shut the laptop, saying, 'Okay, we are not doing this one.' But Kajol, laughing uncontrollably, stopped him from closing it. Prithviraj then added, 'I have done a lot of mainstream masala stuff that I absolutely love, but I have never done a film where it was more neck-down about myself. You usually shoot women the way I was shot in Aiyyaa.' Fans react with humour and love As soon as the video was shared on social media, likes and comments poured in from all sides. While one user wrote, 'Your friends showing your drunk dance after the wedding', another one added, 'Kajol's laugh is so contagious'. A user also commented, 'Hahaha… They should do a fun movie together!!'

Children's Malayalam film inspires circular seating in multiple Kerala schools
A children's Malayalam film titled "Sthanarthi Sreekuttan" has inspired a unique shift in classroom seating arrangements in several schools across Kerala and even one in film's climax, which depicts a circular seating setup to eliminate the concept of frontbenchers and backbenchers, has resonated with educators and is now being implemented in at least seven schools with smaller class strengths. advertisementThe film, released in 2024, promotes the idea of equality in the classroom - an arrangement where all students can participate on equal footing. Schools that have introduced this circular or U/V-shaped seating include RCC LPS East Mangad in Thrissur, GHSS Tholanur in Palakkad, RVV HSS Valakom in Kollam, and Pappinisseri West LP School in Kannur, among Vinesh Viswanath expressed surprise and joy over the movie's tangible impact. Speaking to India Today, he said, "Cinema definitely can bring about a positive impact in society. Malayalam films like Ustad Hotel and Traffic have shown that. As a maker, you feel really satisfied when your concept reaches real people."He also revealed that the 2014 Tamil film Kaaka Muttai inspired his team to make a meaningful children's entertainer with strong Christin, a teacher at RCC LPS East Mangad, said he was drawn to the film for nostalgic reasons. "Most of the incidents reminded me of my school days. I particularly liked the ending with the circular seating. Since I had only 20 students, it was easy to implement. For classrooms with 60 students, it may not be feasible," he also noted that the education department has always allowed flexibility in seating a time when the influence of films on youth is under intense scrutiny, "Sthanarthi Sreekuttan" offers a refreshing example of cinema positively influencing education and social dynamics. The director added that while his next film will belong to a different genre, he is heartened by the social relevance his debut effort has achieved.- Ends
