Milind Soman talks about 'fitness, desirability' at 59: ‘Age has nothing to do with it' Interview
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Milind opens up about his fitness philosophy, sharing his secrets to staying active and living life with ease.
On his fitness secret at 59
Milind is a total fitness inspiration. When asked about his secret to staying healthy, he reveals it's all about keeping it simple.
'I focus on being active, hydration, sleeping on time and eating clean. A calm mind and a healthy lifestyle are the best glow-up tools,' he tells us.
Talking about balancing his busy schedule with his fitness routine, the actor, who was most recently seen in the web series, The Royals, mentions, 'Fitness doesn't need hours; it just needs commitment."
'Even 15–20 minutes a day can make a difference if you stay consistent. I make time because it's a non-negotiable part of my day, like eating or sleeping. My advice? Start small, stay regular, and choose something you enjoy. That's how habits are built,' says the actor, who entered showbiz as a model, going on to make a place for himself in the world of cinema.
At 59, he is still considered a desirable figure in the industry, and he is humbled by the tag.
'I think it's a mix of things- staying fit, feeling good, and being comfortable with who I am. Confidence comes from knowing you're taking care of yourself, inside and out. Age has nothing to do with desirability, it's about how you show up in the world, with energy, purpose, and authenticity,' says Milind.
On ozempic trend and fad diets
Amidst the Ozempic craze and fleeting diets, Milind isn't swayed by the latest weight loss fads. Instead, he champions a timeless approach: sustainable habits that nurture overall well-being.
'Everyone's journey with health is personal, and what works for one may not work for another. For me, the focus has always been on sustainable habits- eating well, staying active, and listening to my body,' says the actor, who recently collaborated with Plum Goodness for a campaign which spoke about putting in the right efforts for bright results.
Milind continues, 'Real results come from doing the right things consistently over time. There are no shortcuts, in fitness or in life. Today, when everything feels rushed or filtered, it is important to slow down, focus on what matters, and trust the process.'

Gen Z Rejects Hustle Culture, Viral Post Sparks Debate On Work-Life Balance
The GenZ, short for Generation Z, is known for its straightforward communication, especially in the corporate world, where toxic hustle culture is often glorified. Now, an Instagram user has shared their experience at the workplace where they were asked to stay beyond the routine hours. While the Gen Z employee refused to stay after working hours, their action has led to intense debate on social media. "I was leaving for home from the office, and my reporting manager told me, 'There's a bit more work, Shatakshi, I'm assigning it to you.' I told him, 'No sir, I need to leave on time today'," said the user. "I want to leave on time, it's not like I'm trying to leave early. I've completed my working hours-I just don't want to stay extra, because I'm fasting today," they added. Afterwards, the manager replied saying they had not left the office, despite having been involved in a train journey last night. "You know what? I was on a train last night, reached at 7 in the morning, came to the office by 7:30, and I'm still here at 6:30 in the evening. Fine, you've given your time to work-okay, you can go home." The user then gives a lengthy critique about the modern-day corporate culture, where work-life balance remains a dream for many. "A person works to earn two meals a day, but if they can't even eat those meals in peace, then what's the point? Glorifying struggle unnecessarily, why is that important? What the hell is this? Why do you have to glorify it? Killing yourself with overwork is not something to be proud of. I don't agree with this. I don't care if you fire me from the job, but I'm not okay with it." 'This is classic behaviour' As of the last update, the video had garnered nearly three million views and hundreds of comments, with social media users mixed in their responses. A section of users agreed with her assessment, whilst others said the reality was different. "I love how Gen Z is not up for it. They are outspoken, know their rights and are actually not afraid to apply. I wish I was like that in my early 20s," said one user while another added: "This is classic behaviour! The whole comparison game is pretty much in every office. To make you feel guilty and make you stay longer." A third commented, "People are not glorifying anything. They are just doing everything to keep their jobs. Soon you realise that you'll have to outperform your direct competition which is your colleague.' A fourth said: "If I saw one of my staff posting videos whining about work instead of addressing with the seniors, I would not think twice before letting the person go." Last month, an employer at an artificial intelligence (AI) startup shared their experience of working with a Gen Z intern when the latter asked for leave, stating they weren't 'feeling the vibe'. In a viral Reddit post titled 'Corporate world is not ready for GenZ', the user shared the nonchalant leave application by the intern. The OP said the language of the mail was 'quite fascinating', but appreciated the new class of workers for being honest about their intentions. In the end, the user ended up approving the leave for the intern.
