Often, we make grand plans to celebrate our birthdays and celebrities are no different. However, there are occasions when things take a strange turn when some go the extra mile and the situation is now different taking into account the coronavirus pandemic situation. Likewise, one among the popular entertainment personalities who has hit the headlines is model-actor Milind Soman, who is celebrating his 55th birthday today.

Milind Soman, who is known to be a fitness aficionado, made heads turn today as he celebrated his birthday by doing what he does best - running on the beach. However, the big twist in the story was when he posted a picture clicked by his wife Ankita Konwar, which has him in the nude. Captioned as "Happy birthday to me. 55 and running!", the picture has since gone viral on social media and has been trending nationwide. Below is the picture on Milind’s Twitter page:

Known among Tamil cinema fans for starring in Pachaikili Muthucharam starring Sarath Kumar and Jyothika and Karthi's Paiyaa and Alex Pandian, this isn't the first time that Milind Soman has been photographed nude. He created a storm across the country in the 90s when he posed in the nude for a Tuff Shoes print ad along with former Miss India Madhu Sapre. Both of them, including the photographer and the publisher, landed in trouble for the advertisement and a case was registered against them which went on for 14 years before everyone involved were acquitted. On the professional front, Milind was last seen in the Amazon Prime Original series Four More Shots Please! as Dr. Aamir Warsi.

Soon after Milind Soman posted the picture of himself in the nude on the beach, many social media users trolled him in memes, while some also complimented him for his fit body at his age. Some of the reactions that have gone viral are below:

Between all American election chaos and the whole Arnab case rhetoric, Milind Soman running nude in Goa Beach to celebrate birthday is the news that might just keep us sane.
