Actor and model Milind Soman shared picture from his first advertisement shoot in 1989. He mentioned how he was not clear about career choices at the age of 23 and was wondering whether he ‘should start a career as a waiter or a cook’.

Sharing the picture, he wrote: “#ThrowbackThursday ! My first advertisement in 1989 I was offered Rs 50,000 to shoot some pictures for a couple of hours and I was so shocked, I thought the people were completely mad I was 23 years old, working in a hotel at that point, wondering if I should start a career as a waiter or a cook, am sure I would have loved working in hotels too the world is an amazing place!”

Milind’s post are highly motivational. Just a couple of days back, he had shared a picture of himself form Lonavala and had written how one should always surround oneself with love: “We are transformed little by little every moment. We are not the same as we were when we we were children, or teenagers, or at any other age. Our bodies, our minds, our attitudes and perceptions are all changing due to internal and external influences. Everything we eat, read or watch, every interaction and conversation has an effect. Mindfulness and awareness help to identify and guide this transformation moment by moment so that we may become the people we want to be and create the world we want to live in. Stay positive. Love yourself. Surround yourself with love.”

Last Thursday too, he shared a then-and-now photo of himself and wrote: “#ThrowbackThursday another time, another place, I see that old familiar face .. many things have changed, many remain the same.. it is our responsibility to ourselves to never lose sight of who we are, of our dreams, and where we want to go.. stay young, at least in the mind.”
