Milind Soman has THIS to say about drawing flak on his nude picture on Instagram

-

Milind Soman had landed in controvers­y recently on his 55th birthday when he shared a nude picture of himself running on the beach on Instagram. While the actor was criticised by many, a complaint was also iled against him for committing an obscene act in public.

Opening up about the same to a news portal recently, Milind reportedly said that Instagram doesn’t remove a naked picture because people simply don’t care. Moreover, he also makes everyone aware that there might be around 10 million photograph­s if someone simply searches #naked on the photo-sharing app. The actor-model added that whoever hashtagged the word and searched for it is their choice. According to him, if you don’t do it, you won’t see it.

Elaboratin­g further, Milind said if someone has done naked photograph­y, that person will do it again as he doesn’t see anything wrong in it. He added that he has done it earlier commercial­ly, for newspapers and magazines.

The actor also concluded by saying that if someone doesn’t want to follow him, they should not.

Milind is quite active on social media where he is seen sharing pictures and videos of himself and his loved ones with his fans and they just cannot have enough of the dapper actor.

Milind is married to Ankita Konwar and they are one of the most loved couples we have in Bollywood.

It has been a while since Vidya Malvade has been seen on the big screen and the actor cites lack of good work as the reason behind her long absence from ilms.

“I just at some point decided after the kind of movies I was getting, like I did a couple of ilms and I was really not happy. Then I realized why am I doing this to myself if I am not happy on a set. It is like going to my workplace, which is my temple and if I am not happy then there is no point doing work, is there,” she asks.

The Chak De India (2007) actor says it was important for her to take a break and re-evaluate everything in her career.

“Then I just gave myself break and decided that I am not going to go back and sign another ilm which does not keep my excitement going and make me go like, ‘oh my god I can’t wait to play this character.’ I just didn’t want to be doing something just like that. It took a couple of ilms to realize that mujhe nahi karna hai and mujhse ye aur nahi ho raha hai,” she says.

The 47-year-old says that she did not care of she had to sit at home but she would not settle.

“I don’t want to do it for money. I am not doing it for anything but for me to feel that magic of a good performanc­e. I just decided to take a break and start teaching yoga and that was six years ago. I just kept saying no to projects left right and centre because all rubbish was being offered to me,” Malvade says.

But she wasn’t totally away from acting. “I did short ilms and got awards as well, that kept me happy and busy. When good stuff is made people watch and remember by it,” she adds.

But things are looking up now for her and she only has the OTT platforms to thank.

“Thank god for them because actors like us are getting work. I am not saying that work was not coming. Work was always coming, it was Just the choice of doing something good,” she concludes.
