Mumbai, Dec 7 (NationPress) The talented actor Milind Soman, who first gained fame through the iconic music video 'Made In India', once elaborated on the essential qualities needed for success in the modelling industry.

A nostalgic video from the 90s has recently surfaced online, showcasing him discussing the fundamental attributes required to become a successful model. He was among the most prominent models in India during the 1990s.

In the clip, he stated, “To excel as a model or actor, being completely at ease with yourself is paramount. It's crucial to take direction well and manage your ego, presenting less of the ego you wish to convey and more of what is expected from you.”

When inquired if this attribute is cultivated or inherent, he responded, “The potential was always there but needed to be nurtured. However, some individuals are naturally gifted, like Madhu Sapre among women and Arjun Rampal among men, exuding confidence, expressiveness, and appeal in any attire, accompanied by strong, instinctive body language.”

Previously, another vintage video featured him discussing his dietary choices. He mentioned avoiding drinks like tea and coffee.

He shared, “I don't drink tea or coffee. My morning starts with fruit juice. I’ve never made it a habit to consume tea or coffee since childhood. I read somewhere early on that it’s unhealthy. I also don’t consume eggs or bread. Occasionally, when I find myself in places with limited fruit options, I resort to eating puri or bhaji. I’ve always eaten very little fried food.”

Born on November 4, 1965, in Scotland and later raised in Mumbai, Milind Soman rose to fame in the 1990s through modelling and music videos like Made in India. He subsequently appeared in films and numerous television projects.

As an accomplished athlete, he has completed endurance events like Ironman and Ultraman. Milind advocates for the running culture in India and is recognized for his disciplined lifestyle, actively participating in fitness advocacy and media initiatives.
