Ankita, who hails from Guwahati, is now super popular on social media. Her romantic pictures with Milind always make headlines, which also cements the fact that the duo can't live without each other. In one of the Instagram posts, Ankita had written, 'I don't want to know what it's like to live without you, don't want to know the other side of a world without you.'

Not just Ankita, Milind Soman, too, shares adorable photos with his wife on his Instagram account. Their photos translate their love for each other and how comfortable they are together. This picture is the perfect example of their chemistry. While Ankita looks into the camera, Milind is happy living the moment.
