Milind Soman under Scanner for being a member of RSS; Says he is Baffled by communal connotations

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.

He took to Twitter to respond to the trend and wrote, "Trending at 54 for an experience I had at the age of 10. wish it was about swimming, which was at the same time!"
