Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi
interacted
with
actor
and
fitness
influencer
Milind
Soman
on
the
occasion
of
the
first
anniversary
of
the
Fit
India
movement.
Appreciating
Milind's
contribution
to
the
fitness
movement
in
India,
the
Prime
Minister
jokingly
asked
him
if
he
is
really
as
old
as
he
says
he
is.
The
candid
chat
saw
the
two
discuss
different
perspectives
on
fitness.
"You
have
been
a
vocal
supporter
of
Make
in
India.
You
also
have
a
popular
book
with
Made
in
India
title,"
said
PM
Modi
to
Milind.
The
actor
responded,
"Our
country
doesn't
have
a
culture
such
that
everyone
has
to
keep
fit
to
work.
Now
people
are
realising
that
to
keep
fit
and
healthy,
they
need
to
make
efforts.
This
is
a
very
good
thing
that
the
Fit
India
movement
is
doing.
People
have
finally
started
to
realise
their
potential."
Teasing
the
54-year
old,
the
PM
asked,
"Whatever
you
say
your
age
is
-
are
you
really
that
old
or
is
it
something
else?"
Milind
replied,
"A
lot
of
people
ask
me
the
same
question
about
my
age.
They
also
ask
me
how
am
I
able
to
run
such
long
distances
(ultra
marathons,
ironman,
ran
from
Delhi
to
Mumbai,
2012)
in
this
age.
I
tell
them
-
my
mother
at
81
-
is
capable
of
doing
all
this.
I
want
to
be
able
to
do
that
when
I
am
her
age.
She
is
a
huge
source
of
inspiration
for
me
and
for
many
others." He
also
shared
that
his
mother
started
trekking
at
the
age
of
60
years.
"I
had
been
forwarded
a
video
of
your
81-year-old
mother
doing
push-ups
and
I
had
watched
it
at
least
five
times
in
awe," said
the
PM,
referring
to
a
video
which
went
viral
on
the
internet
a
while
back.
The
two
also
discussed
how
the
term
fitness
is
relative
to
each
individual.
