Ankita also expressed gratitude to her husband Milind Soman for his constant support throughout her journey.
Ankita wrote, “Swam the English Channel in a relay yesterday!!! I kept a promise to myself. Last year, on my birthday, I had hiked upto the English Channel swim start and told myself that I will swim in it one day. And I did it yesterday What makes it even more special is that it’s the 100th year celebration of Gertrude Ederle crossing the channel. She was the first woman in the world to have done it.”
