Fitness icon and actor Milind Soman is redefining what it means to age, proving that sixty is just a number. Having celebrated his 60th birthday on November 4, 2025, Soman shared with Bombay Times that he feels more vigorous and liberated now than he did in his younger years.
The Secret to Feeling Younger
In a refreshing take on ageing, Milind Soman revealed that hitting the age of 60 felt less like a decline and more like a celebration of his life's discipline. He firmly believes that it is not age that slows a person down, but rather inconsistency and a lack of discipline. The model and Ironman triathlete made a striking declaration, stating, "I feel stronger, lighter, and freer than I did at 30."
A Life Built on Discipline and Adventure
Soman's journey is a testament to his words. He first undertook the grueling Ironman challenge at the age of 50, pushing his willpower and physical endurance to the limit. His fitness regimen is built on simple yet powerful pillars: staying consistently active, eating clean, and, most importantly, respecting one's own body. For him, fitness is not a chore but a pathway to freedom.
He also draws a parallel with fellow superstar Shah Rukh Khan, noting how SRK is redefining the 60s by finding joy in his work. Soman applies the same principle to his own life, seeking purpose and excitement through fitness and adventure. "If you wake up excited every day, 60 can feel like 40 — or even 25," he added, emphasizing that a youthful attitude is the true key to agelessness.
An Inspiration to Millions
Milind Soman, married to Ankita Konwar since 2018, is not just a fitness icon but a symbol of endurance and self-belief for generations. From running barefoot marathons to cycling across challenging ghats, he continues to inspire India to embrace a healthier and more active lifestyle, proving that with the right mindset, age is no barrier.
