Milind Soman Covers Mumbai To Goa In Just 3 Days On Foot And Cycle: ‘Feels Amazing'
Actor and fitness icon Milind Soman, who is currently on his ambitious Mumbai to Goa journey as part of the #FitIndianRun, took to social media to share an update from Day 2 and 3 of the challenge. Taking to Instagram, Soman posted a couple of his images and videos with his wife Ankita Konwar. The actor revealed that he cycled 90 km and ran 20 km daily.
Sharing an update, Milind wrote, 'Day 2&3 just hills, hills, hills ghat pe ghat, ghat pe ghat, to paraphrase an old dialogue 90km cycling and 20km running for 3 consecutive days so far, feels amazing!!"
He also addressed a common question he's asked — why he pushes himself so much when 'Marna hi toh hai (we all have to die someday)". 'Lots of pushups for selfies on the way.. meeting fitter Indians on the way people often ask me, Kyu karte ho itna, Marna hi toh hai – but I think if I haven't explored the limits of the potential of mind and body at every age, I haven't really lived or shown gratitude for the amazing gifts I have received from the almighty #fitindianrun #mumbai2goa."
Earlier, Milind and Ankita undertook a spiritually fulfilling yet physically challenging trek to Kedarnath.
Sharing their photos, 'The Royals' actor wrote, 'Trekked to Kedarnath from Chaumasi through Kham Bugyal over the 14000ft Hathni Col, what a beautiful journey …It was around 30kms to Kedarnath and we took 2 days to complete it! The second day took us around 17 hrs through a steep climb and crossing ice and snow but the excitement of seeing Kedarnath temple at 1am in the morning took away all our tiredness !! Jai Shree Kedar ! Jai BholeNath ! Har Har Mahadev."
Meanwhile, the couple was recently honoured with the title of 'Fittest Jodi of the Year'. Reflecting on the recognition, the 'Four More Shots Please' actor noted that 15 years ago, a fitness-based category like this would have been unimaginable at a mainstream award ceremony.

This actor vanished from a mental asylum, 25 years later, his daughter still waits, now looks like a Bollywood star, her name is...
The 1980s heartthrob Raj Kiran was once a familiar face in Bollywood, but his life took a puzzling turn that few could have predicted. First came the shocking reports that he had been admitted to a mental health facility. Then, in a twist no one saw coming, he disappeared. Just like that. Gone. Was he ever found? Despite attempts by friends and family, including Rishi Kapoor and Deepti Naval, no one has been able to definitively trace his whereabouts. Some claimed he was in an Atlanta asylum. Others believed he had been seen driving a taxi in New York. But none of it was ever confirmed. The last official record of him dates back to 1999. What happened at the mental hospital? According to reports, Raj Kiran spent time in Mumbai's Byculla mental hospital. One day, he simply vanished from there. Since then, he's been swallowed by rumour, speculation, and mystery. Some believe he's alive. Most have given up. But one person never did His daughter, Rishika Mahatani, was just a little girl when he went missing. Now in her twenties, she continues to quietly hope for his return. She hasn't made big public appeals or dramatic media appearances, but her Instagram speaks volumes. Who is Rishika Mahatani? Known for her elegant looks and love for diamond jewellery, Rishika is steadily gaining attention on social media. Her aesthetic posts, often featuring luxury designs, have earned her a loyal following. Many believe she could easily make a transition to acting if she chooses. Will she follow her father's footsteps in films? While there's been no official announcement, industry watchers wouldn't be surprised if Rishika made her Bollywood debut one day. For now, she's carving out her own identity, one that's graceful, resilient, and quietly strong. Even as the industry forgets Raj Kiran, his daughter carries forward a piece of his legacy, not just through memories, but through her rising light. Whether or not she ever reunites with her father, she's already shining in her way.

A small red rat caught a glimpse of the outside of the manhole cover next to the president. Known for his controversial red sculptures erected in public areas, Colomina told USA Today, 'I installed the sculpture in New York because this is where he built his image, his empire, his legend. A city he tried to conquer with golden towers and brutal slogans. I wanted this image – a red body rising from the sewers – to disturb that landscape.' According to Colomina, the sculpture was made in roughly three weeks at his French studio. After that, he disassembled it and moved it to New York, where he put it back together. In allusion to Trump's well-known catchphrase, 'Make America Great Again,' Colomina shared a picture of the sculpture on his Instagram account on July 23 with the statement, 'Make America Grime Again.'
