Welcome to Good Times - What are you searching for?

Supermodel, swimmer, actor, producer, electrical engineer, entrepreneur: Milind Soman is all that. And he believes men are genetically programmed to be unfaithful. Is he confirming your worst fears, ladies?
Find out as he gets candid with Rajiv Makhni...

Rajiv: Why is it that you have never ever been faithful to all the women you've been with?

Milind: Fact is, after the age of 24, I've been completely faithful to whichever women I've been with.

Rajiv: We are not discussing whether you are a good liar or not we are discussing why you have not been faithful?

Milind: Nobody believes me but it's true. I don't look outside a relationship. The relationship is really important to me. It's not having experimental sex that's important.

Rajiv: A very serious relationship of yours broke up. The general saying was that you went pretty wild for a while. True?

Milind: That does happen. Why it happened to me, was that I was trying to get out of that. You try to distract yourself. Basically, it is only time that heals.

Rajiv: No rebounds work ever.

Milind: Absolutely right. After 'this' relationship, I think you are talking about Madhu, I did go a little wild then and it was a lot of fun!

When I broke up with my wife Mylène, which was 18 months ago, I almost became a recluse.

I didn't have a single relationship in that whole year-and-a-half, till I met my present girlfriend. So again there's a shift.

Rajiv: So what's the change? A maturing of the mind?

Milind: I think so. I don't need something to help me get over an emotional setback. I can do it on my own.

Rajiv: In all this, we men are usually maligned that we are genetically programmed not to be faithful. What's the difference between 24-year-old Milind and Milind now?

Milind: I don't want to have casual relationships. I don't have time for it. I definitely believe that men are genetically programed to be unfaithful. I wouldn't call it unfaithful because it's a concept.
But to impregnate as many women as possible to assure the survival...

Rajiv: Procreation, we are here for procreating so therefore we will go out and do it as many times as we can.

Milind: Like women are programmed to choose the strongest mate. One relationship doesn't have to give you everything you need.

I would think, given the freedom which will be coming up in the next 50 to 100 years, women will choose to be with one partner because of emotional and stable reasons but have children with another..

Rajiv: Oh, Radical thought! You'd be okay if you were in a relationship with a woman who was good with you for emotion and went out for physical support?

Milind: Well, if I was 65 or 70-years-old and I felt a bond with a woman who is 24, I would be okay with it. But today, I feel I am able to give a women everything that she could want – emotionally, physically and spiritually.

Rajiv: Have you ever had a relationship where the woman has been unfaithful to you and you found out?

Milind: Yeah, of course.

Rajiv: And you took it or couldn't?

Milind: I took it.

Rajiv: And carried on with it?

Milind: Yes, because it was more important to me to have a really good emotional and spiritual relationship.

Rajiv: The person currently in your life could be very close to another guy, would you mind?

Milind: I would really like it that my partner had a life, a complete life without me. I would like to have my own complete life without her.

Rajiv: Sometimes, they say men do it because it's also the convenience: “Look, I'd like to do the same therefore I'll give you the same freedom.” Is it that?

Milind: There's so much that goes into it...how society sees you: The cuckolded husband for example, nobody wants to be that. “Oh his wife is cheating on him, oh, his girlfriend is cheating on him. Poor guy, obviously he's impotent, he can't get it up!”
There are so many repercussions to that. Why is she cheating on him? Because he can't satisfy her.

Rajiv: And doesn't that go against the idea that the reason you are in a relationship is because it's supposed to be exclusive?

Milind: No, I don't think relationships are supposed to be exclusive. Relationships are supposed to be good, that's it. Your friends are not exclusive.

Rajiv: I'm talking about 'The Relationship'.

Milind: I have two friends and have a really, really close relationship with them. But the relationship I have with my girlfriend, barring even the sex, is completely different.
I don't even need to talk to her. She doesn't need to talk to me. There is a much deeper bond.

Like even with Madhu, I felt that and I still feel it. I tell people, that I can still spend days with Madhu. It doesn't have to do with sex. We won't sleep with each other.

But just to be close, gives me another kind of high. Which is very special, you don't even get it with your friends.

Rajiv: Are you saying the entire idea of faithful and unfaithful makes no sense at all?

Milind: I think, it's outdated now. Faithful and unfaithful has to do with how honest you are in a relationship about everything. That is the faith that you have to have. How much do you really share.
It doesn't have to be if you slept with somebody else...

Rajiv: So you are basically saying there is hope for men.

Milind: Yeah men are great, Rajiv. I'm really happy to be a man.
