Ankita Konwar, 29, married to actor Milind Soman (55), has addressed the age gap between them on several occasions and the topic, once again popped up during an interactive session with her Instafam. On Wednesday, Ankita was interacting with her Instafam, when a user asked her: "How did you tackle/ manage this Indian stereotype of 'Don't marry an older man'?" Ankita explained that stereotypes are a universal concept and wrote: "Anything that's not common in a society, people usually like to talk about it. And it's not just limited to India. We as a species, have a tendency to get weird about the unknown, the unexplored, AKA fear. A survival skill." She added, "And sometimes we are not conscious enough to distinguish between the utility and the waste of that skill. I have always done what makes me happy."
