\"Shahana Shahana Goswami<\/a> has spoken candidly about her past relationship with actor-model Milind Soman<\/a>, years before he married Ankita Konwar in 2018. In a recent interaction, Shahana recalled how she first connected with Milind<\/a> as a teenage fan and reflected on why their relationship eventually came to an end.<\/p>\n

\u2018I was mesmerised by him\u2019<\/p>\n

Speaking to Siddharth Kannan, Shahana shared that she first noticed Milind after watching Rules: Pyaar Ka Superhit Formula while she was still in school in Delhi.\u201cWhen I was 16-17 years old, I was in Delhi and one of Milind\u2019s films had released at that time. My school friends and I went to see that film. I also thought why are we going to watch a model\u2019s film? It would have very bad acting, but I was mesmerised by Milind in the film,\u201d she said.The actress revealed that after watching the movie, she searched for his contact details online and eventually found his landline number. According to Shahana, Milind had left his cellphone number on the answering machine, following which she texted him on his birthday and received an immediate reply.<\/p>\n

\u2018Basically, I was a stalker fan\u2019<\/p>\n

Shahana admitted that although they remained in touch through text messages for years, they never actually spoke over a phone call during that period.\u201cWe had an interaction on text for six years, never spoke over call. Basically, I was a stalker fan,\u201d she joked.She added that after moving to Mumbai for college, the two met a few times before eventually beginning a relationship when both were single.\u201cSix years later, at some point when we both were single, I messaged him and then we started dating,\u201d she shared. <\/p>\n

\u2018I never felt the age difference\u2019<\/p>\n

The actress also addressed the 21-year age gap between her and Milind, saying it never affected their relationship.\u201cI was always way more mature than my age. We were very open in my family and I always felt like an adult from when I was a kid,\u201d she explained.Shahana added that she learnt several important life lessons from Milind during their time together.\u201cHe used to say, \u2018Nobody is responsible for your happiness or sadness.\u2019 That really resonated with me,\u201d she said.The actor also fondly remembered how Milind changed her perception about cats.\u201cI used to like dogs more than cats, but Milind is so much like a cat himself that after dating him, I understood how to love and care for cats,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n

\u2018We didn\u2019t want the same things\u2019<\/p>\n

Opening up about their breakup in 2013, Shahana said the relationship ended because they eventually realised they were no longer compatible despite still loving each other.\u201cIt\u2019s just about timing. Till the very end, we were in love with each other. When you see that a relationship is not able to sync, you have to let it go,\u201d she said.The actress further explained that she eventually realised she did not fit into the idea of a conventional relationship.\u201cI believe in love very deeply but I also believe in freedom. If you keep people trapped with yourself, that\u2019s not love,\u201d she shared.According to Shahana, while there was a lot of love between them, they ultimately wanted different things from life and relationships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shahana Goswami has spoken candidly about her past relationship with actor-model Milind Soman, years before he married Ankita…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":468292,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[93,61,60,202394,76032,270,202393,55687,202397,202399,202398,202395,202396,202400],"class_list":["post-468291","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-milind","tag-milind-soman","tag-movies","tag-shahana","tag-shahana-goswami","tag-shahana-goswami-milind-soman-age-difference-relationship","tag-shahana-goswami-milind-soman-breakup","tag-shahana-goswami-milind-soman-dating-old-men","tag-shahana-goswami-milind-soman-love-story","tag-shahana-goswami-milind-soman-relationship","tag-shahana-goswami-milind-soman-split"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/468291","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=468291"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/468291\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/468292"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=468291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=468291"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=468291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
