We have seen our B-town stars achieving great heights when it comes to anything related to movies. But, Milind Soman; the model turned actor has made whole of India proud of his phenomenal victory in the international strata.

The actor who had participated in the Ironman Triathlon held in Zurich, Switzerland on 19th July has made a record breaking history. The star successfully completed the Triathlon that comprised of 3.8-km Swim, 180.2-km Cycle Ride and 42.2-km Run in 15 hours 19 minutes.

This triathlon is considered to be one of the world's toughest races and had 2,000 participants including seven Indians.

To win the title of 'Ironman', the participant is expected to complete the triathlon that includes swimming, cycling and running race within 16 hours without a break. But, our 50 years old sexy star completed it within the time limit.

Milind has been practicing for the race since past few months and was seen updating his social media account with pictures of his preparations.

Commenting on his victory, the star was quoted saying to a leading daily, "If you are sufficiently aware and monitor your body's response at every stage in terms of nutrition and pace, it will all come together. I wanted to gift myself something special in my 50th year and I am glad I could do this."

Indeed, the quote 'Hardwork pays' is one of the universal truths of all time. Hearty congratulations to Milind Soman for bagging this amazing title.
