Milind Soman has been the heartthrob of many ever since he stepped in the industry. Now, after tying the knot with his longtime girlfriend Ankita Konwar last year, the pair has been setting major relationship goals. However, the pair is often called out on social media for their age gap of 26 years, and recently they gave it back to the trolls. During a recent ad campaign, Milind Soman and Ankita Konwar addressed the trolls one by one. 

The video begins with Milind reading a comment saying, "Ankita should call him Papaji" to which he quips, "She does sometimes," leaving Ankita laughing. They again address a comment which called Ankita a 'gold-digger' to which Ankita confidently replied saying, "If you are with somebody the whole society is happy with, but you're not, then what's the point?"

"Conventionally people had created these barries for people when they fall in love. I think there should not be any barries, I think everybody should be free to choose who they love or like and that should be based on the feelings they have in their heart. It has nothing to do with society or any other consideration," Milind Soman stated. 

Wife Ankita Konwar further supported his point saying, "You owe it to yourself to be with the one you love. You shouldn't listen to anybody else who says otherwise."
