Recently, Milind and his wife set off from Mumbai to Goa on an ambitious trip as part of the #FitIndianRun. The Four More Shots Please actor posted on Instagram about his trek on foot and bicycle with an update on Days 2 and 3 of this undertaking.
Milind Soman took to Instagram and shared photos and videos from the route, featuring his wife Ankita, and wrote, “Day 2 & 3: just hills, hills, hills, ghat pe ghat, ghat pe ghat, to paraphrase an old dialogue 90 km cycling and 20 km running for 3 consecutive days so far feels amazing!!”

He also addressed a question he is frequently asked: why he continues to push his physical and mental limits, even when some believe such efforts are futile. Responding to this, Milind mentioned, “Lots of pushups for selfies on the way… meeting fitter Indians on the way, people often ask me, 'Kyu karte ho itna, Marna hi toh hai?' – but I think if I haven’t explored the limits of the potential of mind and body at every age, I haven’t really lived or shown gratitude for the amazing gifts I have received from the almighty #fitindianrun #mumbai2goa.”
Prior to this challenge, Milind and Ankita completed a spiritually enriching yet physically demanding trek to Kedarnath. Recalling the experience, he wrote, “Trekking to Kedarnath from Chaumasi through Kham Bugyal over the 14000 ft Hathni Col, what a beautiful journey … It was around 30 km to Kedarnath, and we took 2 days to complete it! The second day took us around 17 hrs through a steep climb and crossing ice and snow, but the excitement of seeing Kedarnath temple at 1am in the morning took away all our tiredness!! Jai Shree Kedar! Jai BholeNath! Har Har Mahadev.”
Meanwhile, the couple was honoured with the title of ‘Fittest Jodi of the Year’, a recognition that reflects their shared dedication to health and holistic living. Reflecting on the accolade, The Royals star noted, “Fifteen years ago, a fitness-based category like this would have been unimaginable at a mainstream award ceremony.”
From marathons to mountains, Milind Soman continues to inspire countless Indians to explore the true potential of body and spirit.
