Milind Soman was/is a national crush, I'm pretty sure almost everyone had a crush on the guy once upon a time, but now, all of sudden, he has been 'cancelled' online.  

An excerpt from his memoir Made In India was recently published on The Print and in that, he talks about his days as part of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or the RSS. Now, that's a huge revelation, especially considering what's happening in the country right now. Of course, there's backlash and of course, he's being called a Sanghi.

He wrote, "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 differentâwe 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."

He went on, "Occasionally, weâd be taken on treks or overnight camping trips in the hills around Bombay, which we eagerly looked forward to and enjoyed very much. The whole thing was overseen by a team of mostly-well-meaningâif not always inspirationalâadults, who truly believed they were helping raise good âcivilian soldiersââ boys respectful of authority, well-behaved in the presence of adults and well-aware of the importance of physical fitnessâ who would put their efforts into nation-building when they grew up. A desi Scouts movement, if you will. As for the parents who registered their kids, most saw the shakha as just another way to keep their offspring in good shape and out of trouble."

As soon as the news of his RSS past hit the internet, people just had one reaction - they don't find him hot anymore. Since Milind Soman is one of the most beloved celebrities out there, people on Twitter were left feeling very disappointed after this, even waiting for someone to say this is all a joke.

â Srivatsa (@srivatsayb) March 10, 2020 What is it?

Milind Soman is either a bigot or he is dumb. The admission is okay but the farcical, 'they're not communal as they are portrayed' is shit.

The Ram Janmbhoomi andolan .i.e. the criminal demolition of the Babri happ way back. Jammu massacre was much earlier. Soman isn't cute.

â Sidrah (@SidrahDP) March 11, 2020 Just so much disbelief.
