Milind Soman gave his fans a surprise when he posted a picture of him running naked to ring in his 55th birthday. The picture was posted from Goa, where the former model and actor is presently staying. The picture went viral within seconds, with his admirers praising the actor's fitness levels and his boldness in posting such a picture that captures such a risque moment. This isn't Milind Soman's first foray into nudity, as way back in the '90s, he had posed in the buff with former model (and his ex) Madhu Sapre for a shoe ad. Naked Milind Soman Running on Goa Beach for His 55th Birthday Is Now a Meme!
