Model turned runner Milind Soman on Tuesday revealed that he was a part of the Hindu rightwing organization - Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), when he was young.
In a book titled 'Made in India: A Memoir by Milind Soman', he said that at the shakha between 6 and 7 pm each weekday evening, he along with his fellows would "march 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".
