           Soman recalls that his father was a RSS himself and a proud Hindu. He didn’t see what there was to be proud about,
           however, he also felt that there was much to complain about either. And soon, the forever young actor started trending
           over Twitter. Milind took to his Twitter account to react to the same. He tweeted, “Trending at 54 for an experience I had
           at the age of 10. wish it was about swimming, which was at the same time!”
