MUMBAI: Actor Milind Soman is known to be an absolute fitness freak, who has fashioned his character somewhat as a fitness icon in India.
Recently, Milind shared an inspiring post on Instagram recalling how he got addicted to smoking while shooting for his 1998 sci-fi hit TV series where he played a superhero called Captain Vyom. The series was a major hit especially with children but Miling got addicted to smoking at the age of 32.
He shared his experience of smoking ‘20 -30 cigarettes a day’ calling it the "stupidest thing I ever did".
Sharing the post on Instagram with a boomerang video of breaking a cigarette in half, he wrote in the caption:
“Every 31st of May, World No Tobacco Day, is a celebration for me, and also a reminder of the stupidest thing I ever did - smoke!! I started smoking at the age of 32, on the sets of Captain Vyom, a sci-fi TV series I was shooting at the time. There was no reason to start, just hanging out with people who smoked, trying it out, and getting hooked. I got addicted really quickly and was soon smoking 20-30 cigarettes a day. Was tough to stop and took me a long, long time, but I was fortunate that I could.”.
