Early Life:

Milind Soman was born on the 4^th of November 1965 in Glasgow, Scotland. His family had moved to England. His family returned back to India, when Milind was 7. The family settled down in Dadar area. Milind studied at Dr. Antonio Da Silva High School and Junior College of Commerce, Dadar, Mumbai. From M. H. Saboo Siddik Polytechnic, Byculla, Mumbai, Milind Soman completed his Diploma in Electrical Engineering.

After the completion of his diploma, the young man realized that he will not be able to make money as an electrical engineer. In 1988, Milind entered the modelling world and became an instant hit with his chiseled features, handsome look and confidence.

In 1992, Madhu Sapre missed the Miss Universe title to Sushmita Sen. It was a case of instant liking for each other, when Milind and Madhu met. During the early 90s’ they were hot couple, totally in love. The two hot models created a stir with the controversial ‘Tuff Shoes’ ad. Among the two, Milind was very possessive of his love towards Madhu. Their live-in relationship lasted couple of years, before they parted ways.

The Greek Adonis:

The 5’9” handsome hot hunk created craze among girls, when Milind Soman made his entry into the modelling world. Milind recalls, “Modeling happened just by chance. I did not even know such a profession existed. All my family members are into academics and I had no connection with the glamour industry. I was shocked with the kind of money they were paying for doing nothing. I was lucky to be there, when the fashion industry in India was just taking off.

It is not that I am an amazingly good looking guy. I am good, but it all worked because I was there, at the right time. The current lot of models in India has it, much tougher. When I started, we were just three male models. So, we were doing all the shows, across the world. It is good that people still remember, what I did back then, and it helps me grab attention, when I want to do something meaningful.”

He still commands attention from pretty girls, exuding his fully-fit physical appearance and charm.
