While the world is still fighting to come out of the deadly Corono Virus that is spreading like a wildfire and trending the preventive measures, looks like some of the Indians are busy in their own ways by trending a not-so-relevant topic at this hour.
On Tuesday, popular model turned actor, Milind Soman had become an overnight sensation when an excerpt from his memoir, Made in India did heavy rounds on the social media. In it, he can be seen talking about his experience of training at a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) shakha as a young boy.
He also shared that his father “was a great believer in the benefits that would accrue to a young boy, in terms of disciplined living, physical fitness and right thinking, from being part of the junior cadres of the RSS.”
The yesteryear heartthrob further said that he is baffled when he gets to read 'all the subversive, communal propaganda' the media attributes to RSS shakhas. “My memories of what happened at our shakha between 6 and 7 p.m. each weekday evening are completely different - we marched about in our khaki shorts, did some yoga, worked out in a traditional outdoor gymnasium with no fancy equipment, sang songs and chanted Sanskrit verses that we did not understand the meanings of, played games and had a bunch of fun with our fellows.”
However, this seems to not have gone well with some of the netizens and soon the actor became a trending topic for his statements. Reacting to this, Milind took to his social media and tweeted, “Trending at 54 for an experience I had at the age of 10. Wish it was about swimming, which was at the same time!”
