Milind Soman said – I am a very relaxed person, if I ever watch one movie in a year, I watch it.

Make excuses to keep yourself fit

Nowadays people take the excuse that their job or work is such that they do not get time for exercise. Don’t you even have five-six minutes? I myself exercise only for five-six minutes a day, and that too not all at once. When I wake up in the morning, I exercise for two minutes, during the day, if I get time before lunch, I exercise for two to three minutes and at night, I exercise only for two to three minutes. Whatever time we get, we must do what is best for us and do it regularly. Not that I spent an hour in the gym the first day, missing the second day. Continuity is very important. Nowadays people do not even eat healthy food. We are keeping distance from food which is beneficial for health. If asked to eat fruits and vegetables, they will not eat. Will not sleep on time because we have to watch movies on OTT and spend time on the internet. It’s not just about exercise. This is a matter of our health. Excuses should be made to keep yourself fit and not to avoid them.

‘Staying awake all night is our choice’

Staying awake all night watching movies on OTT, watching reels on the internet, no one is forcing you, it is your choice. You have created this addiction yourself. If it is attached then remove it. Addiction is understandable in children but if it starts happening at the age of 30 then you need to be very careful. If I talk about myself, I definitely work in films but do not watch them. If I ever watch one movie in a year, I watch it. That too, when people are praising that film a lot.

If the medium increases then the work will increase

As far as OTT is concerned, the work has increased a lot with its arrival. When I came, there were only two big newspapers and Doordarshan was the name of the channel. Today there are too many mediums. Also now there are social media influencers. Wherever you look, there are influencers. This is a good thing, the more the medium grows, the more work people will get. This is what has happened with the advent of OTT. As the medium increased, the work also increased. Nowadays, it is the era of OTT anyway.

I only do one or two projects a year

I am a very relaxed person. Not that I have become so now but it was there from the beginning. One or two a year, just don’t do more projects than that. The rest of the time I rest because I have always enjoyed work. Never thought about any character. If a character surprises me or after hearing about it I feel that this is challenging, it will be difficult to do, only then I say yes. Right now I have two projects. A Kangana Ranaut emergency. In this I am playing the role of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw and the other OTT project is Royals. I have a very important role in this also.

Content is most important

Hollywood films are now seen in every village. Children are fans of Spiderman and Superman. Be it Malayalam cinema or Tamil. People are liking it a lot, why? Because their content is strong. In fact, the language we speak is not important but the language of humanity is more important. People are able to relate to this language of humanity. Cinematic language has no importance. If your content is good and is full of human sensitivities, then everyone will watch it, no matter what the language of that film is.

race on the river front

I keep coming to Lucknow. I have come many times. This city is so good that one feels like coming here again and again. Today in the morning I went to the river front on the banks of river Gomti. I liked that place. There I ran five kilometers because I like running. Whenever I get time, I definitely do running.
