Age is just a number for Milind Soman! Actor, cycles 1,000 km from Mumbai to Delhi, Ankita Konwar showers Insta love on ‘crazy husband’

Actor and supermodel Milind Soman, even at the age of 56, believes in achieving new fitness milestones every single day. His latest achievement is a 1,000 km long ‘Green Ride’ on bicycle from Mumbai to Delhi to raise awareness against air pollution which concluded today. After completing the journey, Soman said he is feeling ‘delighted and exhilarated’ to have been a part of the initiative.

“The Green Ride was an effort to explore and promote healthier modes of transportation…I hope I was able to create some more awareness about how we are polluting the air we breathe, and efforts we all can make to reduce this pollution,” he said.

Soman also had some eco lessons to spare. The supermodel added that every small step - car pools, planting a tree, opting to cycle rather than taking a car, quitting smoking - all go to play a huge role in making the environment healthier for us and all life on the planet.


The cycling journey, organised by the Bank of Baroda, began on December 3 from Mumbai and crossed through Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Haryana before reaching New Delhi on Wednesday.


As always, his biggest cheerleader in his fitness journey, his wife, Ankita Konwar, gave a big shout-out to her husband on social media for taking up this initiative. In one of her Instagram stories, she wrote, “Because running from Delhi to Mumbai wasn’t enough for this crazy husband of mine! Now he’s cycling from Mumbai to Delhi.”

Soman, who is a fitness enthusiast and a self-proclaimed enemy of ‘the lazy life’ has said in an Instagram Live earlier in August this year that he doesn’t let go of his fitness regimen for even one day.

“Every day I do just one set of pullups and try for a tiny improvement every day, because the most important thing in the journey to better health and fitness is only regularity,” he had said.

He also extends his fitness philosophy of never giving up to his life decisions. Soman explains it deftly in the caption of one of the videos he has shared on Instagram, which says, “Failed again! But never, ever say no to the struggle, because any struggle that you accept with your whole heart is what prepares you to face everything else in life.”
