The couple have called off their nine-month-old relationship
Milind Soman and Shahana Goswami are no longer together. The two met in March this year and instantly hit it off. The two met up at common friend Purab Kohli's place. They were both emerging from failed relationships and found solace in each other's company. Shahana had broken up with Mira Nair's nephew Ishaan, while Milind had separated from his French wife Mylene Jampanoi. But now, they have moved on.
Sources confirm that the two have decided to part ways. The age difference between them Shahana (24) and Milind (44) was not the problem, as is generally believed. A source says, "Both Milind and Shahana are far too intelligent to be bogged down by the age thing. It is just that they became too serious too soon. It seemed rushed." Rebound, anyone?
Very different
What drove them apart is the fact that they both wanted different things from life, and from each other. While he wanted a commitment from her, she was more inclined to take it one day at a time. "Temperamentally, they are very different. He believes in planning and she is spontaneous, when it comes to relationship, career or day-to-day decisions."
Even though the relationship has ended, there is no bad blood between Milind and Shahana. A friend close to the couple adds, "It's been tough but both of them are holding strong. They haven't made the transition from lovers to friends yet, but in time that will happen."
When contacted, Milind Soman said, "It's mere hearsay." Shahana Goswami remained unavailable for comment.
