Milind Soman received a flurry of responses to his marathon suggestion – they just probably weren’t the sort of responses he was actually looking for!

The actor and avid marathoner has made a New Year fitness resolution: he will run a bone-numbing seven-hour marathon every single day! Good for him. However, caught up in the enthusiasm, he asked his Twitter followers if they wanted to join him in this fitness challenge. And that’s when the fun started…

While one user teased, “Bhai Naukri, Biwi Bache Wale Hain,” another added, “Uncle we have office, responsibilities etcetera.” Another repeated, “Would love to sir, but job ko bhi jana hota hai,” while yet another user commented, “Which marathon, not specified. I prefer a sleeping marathon.” One smart aleck replied, “I get tired after 3 hour Netflix marathon.” Yet another spoke for most of us when he stated, “I can do that. In my dreams. :-)”

Of course, there were many who complimented Milind on his resolution, adding that only he could pull it off. Don’t forget, this is the dude who finished the Ultraman marathon last February, which is known as the world's toughest endurance challenge.

Soman had finished the marathon in 41st place after a gruelling 10-kilometre swim, 421-kilometre bike ride and 84.4 kilometres of running in a span of three days. An 'invite only' competition, the Ultraman challenge is considered extremely difficult due to its rough terrain and weather. Milind had braved extreme heat and a punctured tyre during the race. To top it all, he had pulled off the entire challenged barefoot!

Recently, Milind’s birthday selfie with girlfriend Ankita Konwar had social media buzzing with considerable hate and censure pouring in regarding their wide age difference.

However, the man proved he was least bothered by all the fuss, as he posted more images of his and Konwar’s as they holidayed in Norway. The two are touted to be tying the knot soon.
