Milind Soman gets 'cancelled' for reminiscing his RSS days

Model-actor and one of the most desirable men, Milind Soman is being called out for his statements of being an RSS boy in his memoir "Made In India." In this memoir, he has opened up about being part of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) as a young boy. Soman recalled going to the local 'shakha' also known as the training centre at the Shivaji Park in Mumbai. In the same, he has written 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", a report in theprint.in read, as quoted by IANS.

Soman went on to add that being part of an RSS shakha was "a very Shivaji Park thing" for a young boy to do back then. He wrote how "baffled" he feels today when he reads of "all the subversive, communal propaganda the media attributes to RSS shakhas". He further added saying that his memories "of what went on at the shakhas every evening are completely different." Soman recalled his activities during training in RSS included marching in khaki shorts, yoga, games, camping trips, songs and chanting Sanskrit verses "that we did not understand".

All activities, Soman recalls, were supervised by a "team of mostly-well-meaning if not always inspirational adults who truly believed they were helping raise good 'civilian soldiers'."

According to theprint.in, Milind Soman recalls that his father had been part of the RSS himself and was a proud Hindu. "I didn't see what there was to be proud about, but on the other hand, I didn't see that there was much to complain about either," he writes in his memoir. Now, after his statements, there are a few people was have suddenly started feeling that Milind Soman is NOT hot anymore. Have a look at the tweets here:

There was also someone who could relate to his RSS days:

So all of a sudden @milindrunning isn't hot anymore because he shared an honest experience from when he was 10? Just because it doesn't portray @RSSorg as communal or dogmatic?

Like he's waiting for a hotness certificate from you bit**es & your 'love handles' lol.#milindsoman https://t.co/f1p9h9An51
