The Milind Soman Chat

HELLO? MILIND?

Aphrodite: Calling Aphrodite.............. this is Paris.

B Datta: Madhu is one of the most wonderful women I've ever met mentally and physically we love each other and I suppose thats the end of that. Do you love anyone? Oor nobody upto your standards?

Akansha: When I just started modelling I used to go out a lot nightclubs parties the works, but in the last 3-4 years I've just stopped going out and I spend a lot of my non working time with my family, we are very close.

Milindji, It seems rather sad that after my name got you into such a lovely part, you refuse to answer me at all! Didn't think you were an ingrate!

MIGHTY APHRODITE IS UPSET. AND MILIND SOMAN LOST A FAN.

???

HOW YOU DOING MAN? Where the hell do you go from here? Superstar model and all that!

Milind: What happened to the time you and meher and Madhu went to London and were supposed toset the Thames on fire!

...

Milind.. do you have nay kids to add to your family???

What do you think of the quality of advertising in India??

NPA: Actually I did not have to apologise for my part in the Ttuff shoes controversy because Ii was travelling a alot and public memory is very short. I guess the only effect the ad had was to make us more popular and geta lot of other people a lot of media mileage.

Shika: I think so far the quality of direct and indirect advertising in India has been pathetic but with the advent of the different TV channela and a lot of exposure to international culture and multinational corporations there has been a lot of pressure on the ad agencies in India to which they have reacted very well that definately shows that we do have a lot of talent and the whole industry is doing really well.

oops.... typo.. I meant "Any"

Milind, who handles your fan mail?

Say have you gone to sleeeeeeeeep? Not a peep oout of you for quite a while. Hello.out There?!!

HELLO, OUT THERE!

Clion : What family?

Ramen: I didn't know we were supposed to set the Thames on fire, we just went there as nobodies to model and found it was really tough and came back to the cushy life in India.

...

TRULY, MILIND. I AM DISAPPOINTED.

Mr. Soman - Normally people shy away from portraying themselves as a gay person. Why did u want that part in the movie?

Aphrodite: In what? I think we are on a differnent sound byte.

What's YOUR NORMAL DAY like? Any tips for us ordinary guys to be hunky?

Do you think the outrageous and angry reaction to the Tuff Ad was justified?? Do you think that it was vulgar enough to affect the Indian sensibilty?? How did all those reactions and the subsequent police station rounds affect you and Madhu personally??

Milind, who is your best model friend apart from Ms Sapre?

NO MILIND. I ASKED U TWO QUESTIONS. IF YOU CARED TO LOOK BACK, YOU'D SEE THAT YOU LOST A FAN IN ME. SNIFFF.

Milind......You and your wife.......

IT'S TRUE WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT ALL U STAR TYPES. TOO NOSE-IN-THE-AIR. OTHERWISE YOU'D ANSWER ONE SIMPLE QUES, RIGHT?

Gulab: I find nothing wrong with gay people its just that different people have different sexual preferances and apart from that they are as normal as anybody can ever be. Iif Ii ever portray a role in a film I will not be thinking of how it will be reflecting on me personally or I will not believe that If I play a murderer that people willl think that I go around murdering people in real life.

...

Did the cast of Mouthful.... get on well/ Or get on each other's nerves? Have you ever felt threatened by the rest of the cast?

Aphrodite: I will send you a handkerchief .......with love. Repeat your question please I think we missed it. Sorry.

Milind do you stay with your folks or have an apartment of your own?

how do we know for sure that u r the real milind chatting to u sand not some other person???

Mr. Soman - Normally people shy away from portraying themselves as a gay person. Why did u want that part in the movie?

....

Did you have difficulty getting on the net? What is your email address... I'd love to be your netpal.

Mr. Soman - Do u think that the Indian public will accept that. Look at what happened with the film Bombay. The hindu muslim riots some people claim are due to that movie. Comments please.

YEAH, RIGHT. ANYWAY, HERE'S ANOTHER. DON'T U THINK THE DIALOGUE DELIVERIES OF MOST OF THE ACTORS/ACTRESSES WERE VERY STILTED IN AMOS?

HOW YOU KEEP TRIM ALWAYS ?

Akash: The cast of A Mouthfl of Sky got on really well with each other infact I feel sad that I will never again be able to work with the unit and cast who were so wonderful together. One of the reasons was that most of the people acting came from different fields (not only from modelling) and it was a first time for everyone, including a lot of the technicans who learned on the job.

I know I sound a little different from what I sound on TV but Rediff will be posting you strong evidence that I was here. I hope they choose pictures in which I look okay because they were shot by a great photographer but someone not used to fashion. Check them out tomorrow. ........................Slurp Slurp!

Mr. Soman what made u switch from modelling to acting in movies?

Sorry, I had to do a bit of work. Milind, do you have any pals on the modellling circuit, or are they toom vaccous for your intellect?

Hey.. have you had dinner yet? What did you have or plan to have?

Sam: I work out a lot. I love walking swimming jogging, basically a lot of differnt forms of excersise and i keep off fried food. Simple!

Mr. Soman do u find it hard to juggle your family life and your career? Are u able to provide quality time to your family?

...

Milind-any more soap roles for you ?

Mr. Soman what made u switch from modelling to acting in movies

I QUITE AGREE WITH AB.

...

Apke ghar me kitne log rehten hai? Ki phir aap ko hamari bhashaa mein jawab nahin dena hai?

Modelling is good, but why all models are going in to that trashy filmi business ?

How do you spend your leisure time?

MR SOMANI, MILIND: i have been waiting for u to answer my question! and also do tell how old u r-and it seems u have also ignored my previous question-why did u get into the modelling world, what else would u have done if u did not make it big on the illustrious catwalks, and where r u based at most of the time. also how do u cope with being a famous person and what do u feel towards your fans and star gazers?

Milind, you didnt answer my question about the justification of the outrageous reaction to the Tuff Shoes Ad.... on purpose????

Mr. Soman - could u tell us about your upcoming movies? What kind of roles are u playing?

Akash: Doosra janam lena padega (You will have to be reborn)

Gulab: Well the only person in my family now is my mother since my sisters are all married I've been planning to get married for sometime now, but unfortunately I've been unlucky. I try to spend as much time as I can with my mother but whether its quality time or not you'll have to ask her.

ARE U NATURALLY SO VERBOSE, OH GREEK?

To all there, ask in English please.

......

KYA HUM APSE SHIKAYAT KAR SAKTE HAIN? (I DON'T GIVE UP THAT EASY.)

Mr. Soman - Could u shed light on why u think u have been unlucky in getting married?

Lois Lane: I love your name. Is your boyfriend Superman? You lucky girl. Tto become a model in India tyou have to be really lucky because there is no systemised access to the industry . I started modeling 7 years ago , when a friend just droppped in one day and asked me if I would do a little bit of work for a lot of money and thats how it started a lot of the designers who are famous today also started at the same time and they choose me as their look that was the major contribution to my initial sucess. I meet a lot of people everyday who tell me they love me and I believe them and it makes me feel good. One thing that irritates me though is people shouting my name from across the street. I wish they would come and talk to me.

I have afriend who's wanting to get into modelling....I've told her to forget it...but after hearing all this, I'd like to know whether you enjoy this life and what does it take to become a model.Do you really enjoy it or is it only the money? Are there any hassels that a young girl ought to watch out for? ..Casting couch ...etc kind of trouble,I mean?

Someone asked you before, what do you plan to do the rest of your life?

What is the most important thing that you]ve learnt from the modelling biz...?????

Being unmaaried is not unlucky. You are a lucky man, do not have to look after any one.

WHAT DO U THINK OF PRYING JOURNALISTS?

Mr. Soman - Thanks for being a sport but one last question from me "Why is it that all models want to become Actors"? Is this a trend or is this the easiest way to get into the movie business?

I STILL HAVE TO MAKE MY COMPLAINT.

Do you only wear designer clothes? who's your favourite?

Gulab: Being in the same profession for two lovers is not easy and being as famous as we both are makes it ten times more difficult. There is a lot of artifical stress created by the media and the work environment and we have not been able to handle it well yet. But we are working at our relationship and we are happy .

..

I love Lois Lane too. Where you live Lois? I can be there in a second. Believe me.

MILIND: thanks so much for answering the question-but unfortuanelty superman is not my boyfriend anymore- we just got married. SO tell me - how do u feel about peole worshipping ua nd having your picture stuck everywhere and yes do tell me what u think about prying journalists and which was your worst media interview ever!

Akash: I wear jeans T-shirts and sandals by anybody. If I did have to wear designer clothes I'll would wear Dolce & Gabbana.

Aphrodite: Yes, go ahead .

At fashion shows, who's the best designer according to you?

TOO LATE, DUDE. GOTTA GO.

BYE.

SAM: where else does lOis Lane live at besides metropolis but do becareful cos supermanis now my husband and he does not take kindly to my admirers!

Aphrodite's gone to Mars..Whew!

Mr. Soman - could not resist asking this one too. Family life - do u plan to have kids and if yes then would u expect your wife to give up her career to look after them?

....

Milind what's your Idea of the bets way to spend a Sunday?

Mr. Soman - how do u feel when there is an invasion of privacy by media?

Lois Lane: I love people worshipping me except the people I worship, I don't mind having my pictures stuck up every where as long as they are good pictures. All journalist PRY thats their job. They have to find out things that people wanna know about . I can always refuse to answer if I don't want to. And hope they'll understand . My worst media interview was for a film magazine where I was completely misquoted and everything I said was sensationalised and Ii was made to sound really stupid. Journalists can do that If they don't like you and thats really sad.
