Description: Fitness icon, actor, and model Milind Soman sits down with Jayveer Singh for an exclusive conversation. In this candid chat, he busts common myths about fitness, shares his personal take on what fitness truly means, and weighs in on the year's most debated topic: "Influencers vs Actors". 

Here are a few edited excerpts of this conversation; 

There are several theories of fitness in the market so what is fitness according to you?

Fitness, according to me is the ability to enjoy life. You should be able to enjoy life when only you are fit.

People are choosing different options to stay fit and you choose running so what was the inspiration behind it?

I didn't choose running to stay fit. The way I stay fit is the lifestyle I follow, because I don't go to the gym and don't really enjoy it, I also don't have anyone for my diet and hence my idea to stay fit is the self-awareness to identify your weakness and strength.

As you said you don't like going to the gym so any specific reason behind it?

For me, it is not necessary that through self-awareness and self-observation you can understand your necessity, and our body is super intelligent and it will tell us what is right for you and what is not. Just sleep on time and don't take much stress. Surya Namaskar is the best exercise according to me, starting with one minute and exceeding the time after some time.

One thing you want everyone to include in their lifestyle to stay fit?

If you want to enjoy everything in your life then just be more conscious about your choices.

There is a debate that Bollywood people are losing jobs because of influencers and followers. What's your take on that?

If in Bollywood there are twenty people and influencers are in the millions then influencers will get more work. To survive you need to be competitive and if competition is growing then it's good because quality gets better. Why should all the work go to Bollywood people? Influencers are amazing and they are doing good work.
