Milind Soman stands firm on 'zero tolerance for terrorism' following Operation Sindoor
Mumbai: Actor Milind Soman has strongly voiced his support for India's Operation Sindoor, emphasizing the need for zero tolerance towards terrorism. In a recent social media post, the actor and fitness icon condemned terrorism as a threat to humanity, democracy, and the well-being of ordinary citizens. Soman praised the Indian government's decisive action and the bravery of the armed forces, urging the world to unite in the fight against terror. His firm stance aligns with the global call for the eradication of terrorism and the protection of peace and security. Taking to Instagram, the Emergency actor shared a note that read, 'The world must unite! Terrorism is a challenge to humanity, democracy & the happiness of common people. The ideology must be destroyed by any means necessary. Salute Govt of India & Indian armed forces. Salute our allies. Zero Tolerance To Terrorism. #operationsindoor #jaihind.' (sic) In the wake of Operation Sindoor, several prominent celebrities have rallied in support of India's decisive military action against terrorism, joining voices with Milind Soman. Among those showing their admiration for the operation were Raveena Tandon, Ajay Devgn, Rohit Shetty, Mahesh Babu, Chiranjeevi Konidela, Nimrat Kaur, Riteish Deshmukh, Akshay Kumar, Sonu Sood, Anupam Kher and Vidya Balan, all of whom praised the Indian Armed Forces for their strategic and precise response. Raveena Tandon, in particular, emphasized the defensive nature of the operation, stressing that the targeted strikes aimed solely at dismantling terror infrastructure, not civilians. In a powerful message, she reflected on the enduring challenges posed by proxy wars and terror activities sponsored by hostile forces, which have claimed countless innocent lives. Operation Sindoor marked a significant moment in India's ongoing battle against terrorism, showcasing a high level of precision and strategy by the Indian Armed Forces. Launched in the early hours of May 7, the operation targeted key terror hubs across Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK), a direct response to rising threats and attacks on Indian soil. Among the targeted sites were Muridke, Bahawalpur, Kotli, and Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir—areas notorious for housing terror networks.

‘First thing I have is…': When Milind Soman gave us a peek into his diet during supermodel days
A simple scroll through Milind Soman's social media page will reflect his love for simple food and dedication to fitness. But it's not something new; in an episode of Ek Din Ek Jeevan, hosted by Tavleen Singh on STAR Plus, the model-turned-actor once shared some insight into his diet tailored to his specific needs and goals during his supermodel days. Inside a supermodel's diet 'I don't drink tea or coffee. The first thing I have is fruit juice. From a young age, I did not develop a habit of drinking tea or coffee. I recall reading somewhere in my childhood that these are bad for one's health. Usually, models drink a lot of tea and coffee, maybe even 15 to 20 cups a day. They smoke cigarettes and consume alcohol – because of stress, maybe, people get into these habits,' shared Soman. When asked if he eats bread and eggs for breakfast, he revealed that he doesn't. 'I don't. I will only have something like puri bhaji when good fruits are not available, if I am travelling. But rarely; I don't really eat fried food,' he said, adding that he eats very little meat, too. The reason? 'I used to be a sportsperson till grade 10, I was into competitive swimming, so my diet was particular,' revealed Soman. But is it safe to start your day with fruit juice? Dr Lata Patil, a general physician at Ruby Hall Clinic, Pune, stated that consuming fruit juice on an empty stomach can have detrimental effects on one's health. According to her, the concentrated sugar in juice can cause a blood sugar spike followed by a crash, leaving you tired and hungry sooner. 'Fruit juice's acidity can also harm tooth enamel, increasing the risk of cavities,' she added. Instead of having it as the first thing, she suggested drinking fruit juice alongside or after a meal. Regarding the impact of drinking tea and coffee with meals on digestion, Dr Vikas Jindal, Consultant, Department of Gastroenterology, CK Birla Hospital, Delhi, told that it may prevent the body from absorbing essential minerals, such as iron, 'which could eventually result in deficiencies.' Apart from concerns regarding iron absorption, drinking beverages with meals can dilute stomach acid, which is crucial for proper digestion. This could limit food breakdown and nutritional absorption, ultimately impacting overall digestion and nutrient absorption, he added. According to Dr Jindal, it is best to drink water with meals rather than tea or coffee to maximise digestion and absorption of nutrients. He also advised waiting at least an hour before consuming them, in case they really want to.
