Milind Soman: I used to smoke 20-30 cigarettes a day, was tough to stop

Milind Soman considers World No Tobacco Day as a personal celebration as he managed to kick the butt after a long struggle. “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!!” wrote the actor along with a clip of him breaking a cigarette.

While he is a fitness inspiration at 55, MIlind revealed how he got addicted to smoking in his 30s. “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. . . . I think i got off lightly. Probably because a lot of other good habits. Many are not so lucky,” shared Milind Soman.
Currently stationed at his lavish abode in Lonavala, Milind Soman and wife ANkita Konwar have been treating fans to their fitness videos and healthy diet.
