Ranveer Singh is recently booked for obscenity for his nude photoshoot. Speaking about this Milind Soman said, "Nothing has changed because human beings don't change. Since ancient times, people would have been talking about stuff that they like or don't like. And there's no time in history where everybody would have liked everything. So people would have objected. Even in the times when Khajuraho was carved, we love it today and we say it's beautiful and part of Indian culture, but maybe some people objected (back then). But the king liked it so it was there. And today, we hear everybody's voice, not just the king's. We think 20 years ago there was not so much noise, but that was because we could not hear people's opinions, now we can because of the internet and social media. Today we can hear everybody's voice. If you look at Raja Ravi Varma, the famous Indian painter, there was a case against him more than a hundred years ago. And it was on similar lines, to what some people considered obscenity in his depiction of Indian women in his paintings. The same Indian law, because I don't think that has changed very much either. There's nothing else that is happening. People are talking, but people always talk. It's just that nowadays we can hear everybody.

One of the most famous models Milind Soman several times booked for Obesenity Milind and his then-girlfriend Madhu Sapre had posed naked for the print advert for Tuff shoes in 1995. Prior to that, Milind had posed nude in another photoshoot in 1991. In 2020, he shared a picture of himself running nude on a beach in Goa to mark his 55th birthday. 

Milind said that he will never do these types of poses again as he was not worried about people's reactions but about the legality, "I won't do that again. There was a case that went on for 14 years. The issue was the representation of women. It wasn't that we were naked or not naked or whatever. It was about how women are represented. That was the major aspect of the case at that time, according to me. So there are various aspects of the law that deal with this subject. So we have to see which ones are relevant and if they are actually relevant. Because finally, you don't want to do something that's illegal. It wasn't about people talking when I said if I had known I wouldn't have done it. It was about the legality. Even at that time, I wouldn't have been concerned that people are talking. Of course, people talk. Kuch To Log Kahenge (people are going to talk something or the other) is a very famous song. That would not have bothered me, but I don't want to do something that is illegal."
