Milind Soman has held the collective attention of India over 20 years now. I've been following him mainly due to work with Pinkathon and due to his tri-athletic feats, its fascinating to see an actor being a genuine sports person.
As the mentor of India’s biggest fitness movement for women, going beyond Milind's indisputable physicality, Made in India is a deep dive into a young Marathi boy’s journey to becoming a national level swimmer and breast stroke record holder, his transition to modelling and acting and why one needs to keep moving. For anyone “trying” to get fit, this is a fascinating and inspiring read.
Woven around Mumbai, it’s streets, clubs and waters, the book is a sharp piece of writing on the tenacity of perseverance, family bonds and the power of movement. The book reaffirms the requirement to keep pushing, keep evolving and staying real.

This book has all the ingredients of a Biopic which should have been made by now. It has supporting parent, interesting upbringing , bullies, glamorous co-workers, an eye-catching love story and even a conniving sports coach. it has a spell on you while you are reading it. You know, Milind is going to finish the marathon and also get his love, but you hang on till you read it in his own words.
As a big fan of serendipity myself, I could relate to life happening to Milind but as always the important message is - Are you prepared for what world is going to throw at you ?
A must read !
