Shahana Goswami Says Teen Texts Led to Romance with Milind Soman and Ended in 2013

Her recent interview also outlines a shift to practising open relationships where she keeps multiple long-term, non-exclusive bonds with full transparency.

Overview

  • Goswami told interviewer Siddharth Kannan that she first messaged Milind Soman as a 16–17-year-old after finding his number and that they exchanged texts for about six years before dating.
  • She said their romantic relationship began when both were single and that they split in 2013 because their timing and needs no longer matched even though they remained in love.
  • Goswami noted the 21-year age gap did not trouble her and described learning life lessons from Soman during their time together.
  • In the same interview she said she now practises open relationships, explaining she has no single primary partner, maintains long-standing emotional and sometimes physical bonds, and shares this arrangement openly with her partners.
  • Multiple Indian outlets published Goswami’s first-person account this week, which reporters framed as her personal recollection rather than independent verification and which adds to public conversations in India about age-gap relationships and non-monogamous arrangements.
