Bollywood actor Milind Soman narrated his younger days in a new memoir - Made in India. The Model-actor-athlete revealed being a member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and he is baffled by communal connotations the media attributes to RSS shakhas. 

A report from the Print quoted the memoir: “When I read today all the subversive, communal propaganda the media attributes to RSS shakhas, I am frankly baffled. My memories of what happened at our shakha between 6 and 7 p.m. each weekday evening are completely different—we marched about in our khaki shorts, did some yoga, worked out in a traditional outdoor gymnasium with no fancy equipment, sang songs and chanted Sanskrit verses that we did not understand the meanings of, played games and had a bunch of fun with our fellows.”

Soman has been trending on social media and several people have questioned his associated with RSS.
