Summary
- Milind Soman completed Ironman challenge at 50, now celebrates it at 60
- Fitness is about health, not just looks, says the actor
- Finds joy in activities like mountain climbing, swimming, and running
In the year 2025, the narrative around ageing has undergone a significant shift. Gone are the days when 60 was considered "old." Today, many actors, including Milind Soman, Anil Kapoor, and Shah Rukh Khan, are proving that age is just a number.
Milind Soman, the fitness enthusiast, has been an inspiration for many. As he celebrates his 60th birthday on November 4, 2025, Soman continues to defy age stereotypes. He completed the Ironman challenge at the age of 50, and a decade later, he sees it as a "celebration of balance - body, mind, discipline and consistency."
Soman believes that fitness is not just about looking good, but about feeling good. "Looking good is temporary. Feeling good is timeless," he says. The actor emphasizes that the best time to start loving and celebrating one's body is now, regardless of age.
For Soman, fitness is the ultimate motivation. "Fitness for me, is freedom," he explains. The freedom to climb a mountain, swim across an ocean, run barefoot, or simply breathe deeply without effort. Ironman and marathons are not the goal, but the joy of knowing his body can still do everything he asks of it.
At 60, Milind Soman remains a heartthrob and an inspiration for people of all ages. He encourages everyone to find the thing that brings them joy, whether it's body, mind, or spirit, and to keep doing it, no matter what. After all, as Soman says, "If you wake up excited every day, 60 can feel like 40 - or even 25!"
