If you loved somebody, why would you ever want anybody else?” Carrie Bradshaw famously asked in the series Sex and the City. More than two decades later, the answer still appears to be increasingly complicated. From films that address the topic of open relationships, like Challengers, and series like The White Lotus to real-life celebrity confessions, alternative relationship structures are moving from the fringes of popular culture into everyday conversation.

The latest voice to join the discourse is actor Shahana Goswami. In a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, the actor openly admitted that, “At this point, I don’t even have one primary partner like that. I have many people with whom I have long-standing dynamics, but it’s not casual. None of it is casual for me.” This isn’t the first time a public figure has bared all. A small but growing group of public figures, including actor Kalki Koechlin and model-actor Sushant Divgikar, (aka Rani Ko-HE-Nur), have spoken openly about relationships that exist beyond traditional monogamy.
