Milind Soman and girlfriend Ankita ‘are talking about marriage’
Actor Milind Soman was the subject of many discussions last year when his relationship with 26year old Ankita Konwar became public knowledge. This year also saw reports about the couple tying the knot, but recently there were some rumours about their break-up as well.
When asked about the reports, Milind shrugs off those rumours. And about his relationship status, he says, “Yes, we are talking about marriage.”
Elaborating on his relationship with Ankita, the 52-year-old model-actor says that their personalities are quite different. “Obviously, she is from another generation, so the overall influences and the culture are different. She is also from another part of the country. However, in terms of similarities, it’s just how two people see life the same way, and d you don’t even need to articulate that. You feel that comfort. In certain situations, you even respond the same way, and you feel the same things. I think it goes much deeper than culture, religion or age. It’s something that is either there or it isn’t.
“It’s difficult to explain why two people are attracted to each other, beyond the physical aspect, of course.”
What’s the one attractive quality of Ankita that he doesn’t have? Milind jokes, “Youth.” But then he answers, “Well, not really. I think it’s just wonderful to explore each other. There are many new things that I can learn from her. She sees life from a different perspective. I’ve already seen life in many ways. We learn so much from each other.”
On the work front, Milind has received positive feedback for his role of an Army official in his last web series. Speaking about working on the digital format, he says, “I don’t think much about [any] format. If the content suits the format, then it’s fine. This story was special, because I’d done a film, 16 December (2002), that dealt with the same topic. Though that was fiction, this was a true story. I’ve done TV serials earlier, so be it feature films, short films or web series, the medium doesn’t matter. If it’s good and I have the time, then I will do it.”
