It's Milind Soman's birthday today. The supermodel turns a dazzling 55. And besides keeping up his gorgeous looks, he's also known for his progressive relationship with wife Ankita Konwar, where the two have always been extremely forthright about their age 26-year age gap (Milind Soman was 52 and she was 26 when they had tied the knot almost three years ago), breaking several stereotypes along their way. So, today, on the 16th December actor's special day, we thought of sharing a throwback anecdote with y'all where his wife, Ankita, had spoken at length about their age difference at how Milind had won over both her friends and family after they were initially reluctant about them getting married.
Speaking about their age gap at length in an interview with Hindustan Times Brunch, Ankita Konwar had said, "When I decided to go out with him, I got to know the person he is. I started liking that person, adoring him over time, and eventually I fell in love with him. My friends were a little concerned, like every friend is when a new guy enters a friend's life. But once they got to know him for real, they were supportive. My family, on the other hand, had a whole lot of questions about all our crazy differences, the age gap being a serious one amongst them. But again, when they met Milind and got to know how humble and real he was, they all accepted us wholeheartedly."
Sharing an interesting statistic in the interview about Milind's age as compared to that of her parents, Ankita had added, "Milind is not older than my father. He is a year older than my mother though, and my mom and dad have an age gap of 10 years. So you do the math."
Highlighting how he had proposed to her, she reminisced, "He proposed to me on a cold November day on top of a hill in Tromso, Norway. The Arctic in the winter is breathtaking. Milind took me to a hilltop where we could see the city spread below us, and just as we were staring into a painting-like view, he said, marry me."
Well, love does know no boundaries, right?
