📰 Milind Soman Opens Up on Troll Backlash Over Age Gap With Ankita Konwar: ‘It Affected Her Deeply’

Actor and fitness icon Milind Soman has candidly spoken about the online trolling faced by his wife Ankita Konwar due to their 26-year age difference, revealing that the negativity had a significant emotional impact on her, especially in the early years of their relationship.

💔 ‘Her Experience Was Limited’

In a recent interaction, Milind Soman shared that Ankita, who was relatively new to public attention at the time of their marriage, found it difficult to deal with the harsh criticism and unsolicited comments on social media.

He explained that unlike him, Ankita did not have prior experience in handling public scrutiny, which made the trolling more overwhelming. “Her experience was limited,” he noted, adding that the intensity of online judgment took time for her to process.

🌐 Facing Online Negativity

The couple, who tied the knot in 2018, often made headlines due to their unconventional love story and noticeable age gap. While many admired their bond, they were also subjected to frequent trolling, with critics questioning their relationship.

Milind acknowledged that while he had developed resilience over the years as a public figure, Ankita had to gradually learn how to navigate the negativity.

🤝 Standing Strong Together

Soman emphasized that he supported Ankita through the difficult phase by encouraging her to focus on positivity and ignore baseless criticism. Over time, she became more confident and less affected by online opinions.

He also highlighted the importance of emotional support and open communication in overcoming such challenges, especially when dealing with public scrutiny.

❤️ A Relationship Beyond Judgement

Despite the criticism, the couple has continued to share glimpses of their life together, often inspiring followers with their fitness routines, travel diaries, and strong companionship.

Their journey, Milind suggested, reflects the idea that relationships should not be defined by societal expectations but by mutual understanding and respect.
