Milind Soman’s ‘Nude’ Running Pic in Goa Gets Praised for Fitness, Poonam Pandey Gets Booked for ‘Obscene’ Shoot; Twitterati Smells Sexism! (View Tweets)

Milind Soman gave his fans a surprise when he posted a picture of him running naked to ring in his 55th birthday. The picture was posted from Goa, where the former model and actor is presently staying. The picture went viral within seconds, with his admirers praising the actor's fitness levels and his boldness in posting such a picture that captures such a risque moment. This isn't Milind Soman's first foray into nudity, as way back in the '90s, he had posed in the buff with former model (and his ex) Madhu Sapre for a shoe ad. Naked Milind Soman Running on Goa Beach for His 55th Birthday Is Now a Meme!

Meanwhile, on the very same day, Poonam Pandey sees a police complaint filed against her for posing obscenely near a dam in Goa for her new videoshoot. Speaking to ANI, Pankaj Kumar Singh, Superintendent of Police (SP) South Goa said, "Based on the complaint lodged by Assistant Engineer sub-division II works division, Water Resources Department, an offence has been registered under Section 294 of IPC. The police are investigating and further sections may be added as the investigation proceeds."

They accuse this two different mindsets in dealing with these two events that happened on the same day and the same state!
