Avika Gor, best known for playing the role of a child bride in the television show Balika Vadhu, announced her engagement with her longtime boyfriend Milind Chandwani, on Wednesday. Avika shared a few photos from the engagement ceremony and shared a long caption expressing her love for Milind. Avika and Milind first met each other in 2019 when she was in Hyderabad shooting for a film and they spotted each other at a party. Milind is not associated with the entertainment industry and runs an NGO in Hyderabad.
Avika shared in the caption, “He asked.. I smiled, I cried (in that order 🙈)… and screamed the easiest YES of my life! I’m full filmy — background score, slow-mo dreams, mascara running and all. He’s logic, calm, and ‘let’s carry a first-aid kit just in case’. I manifest drama. He manages it. And somehow, we just… Fit. So when he asked, the heroine in me took over — arms in the air, tears in my eyes, and zero network in my brain. Because real love? It may not always be perfect. But, It. Is. Magical. 💫”
Milind replied on the post with a “plot twist” and shared how he was feeling as he was proposing to Avika. “Plot Twist: The real background music was my heartbeat going at 200 BPM. 😅 You said yes, and suddenly every filmy line started making sense. 😍 Tu drama hai, main direction, aao best picture banaein 😂,” he wrote. Svika shared with love, “@milindchandwani Am I crying or Am I crying? (sic)”
In an earlier chat on Bharti Singh’s YouTube channel, Avika shared that they met through a mutual friend in Hyderabad. “He is a 9-5 corporate guy who also runs an NGO. We met each other through a mutual friend in Hyderabad. He friend-zoned me for six months. I started liking him since day one. I was very sure about him. In the beginning, I also agreed to being friends. Mera bhi ego agaya ki hum toh hum dost hi rahenge (I also became egoistic and said let’s be just friends). But within a few weeks, I was very sure about him,” she said.
In the same chat, Avika shared that she would have married Milind soon after meeting him and said that she was already married to him “in her head.” “If it were up to me, I would have gotten married to him four years ago. I didn’t need to think much. This is what it is. In my head, I am married to him. But he was sensible enough. He told me, ‘You’re still 26 and I am 32. Take your time to work and see what life has to offer,” she said.
Avika was last seen in the Telugu film Shanmukha. In 2024, she was seen in the Hindi film Bloody Ishq.
