It must be mentioned here that Milind is 53, and his wife, Ankita is 27, and their 26-year age gap has attracted lots of trolling online. After being a target of so much negavity because of this, Milind has shared his feelings about the same. In an interview to The Week recently, Made in India model has said, "I do not really consider the age gap. Of course, two people are always different, in terms of age, background, experiences and culture. So there are always things that need to be understood and accepted. There are old habits that you have to unlearn to keep a relationship strong, positive and healthy. It is important to make your partner feel comfortable and help her achieve what she wants."
He also talked about his professional life and was quoted as saying, "I travel about 20 days a month. I started an event management company in 1989 and have been an event manager for almost 35 years. We do a lot of events. Then I have a startup which is into designing activewear for women. I have a company which makes energy bars. I am part of a foundation which does work on menstrual hygiene. All these keep me occupied all the time." (Don't Miss: Neha Kakkar Breaks Down On The Sets Of Indian Idol 10, Amidst Her Break-Up News With Himansh Kohli)

We did have a beautiful wedding with the lovely family and friends and their immense effort to make the day memorable for us was/is/always will be a true blessing. Thank you.” (Recommended Read: Is Cricketer Rohit Sharma's Wife, Ritika Sajdeh Pregnant? Her Pic In A Loose Dress Shows Baby Bump)
