Balika Vadhu star Avika Gor engaged to IIM graduate Milind Chandwani: Who is he?
Actor Avika Gor recently announced her engagement to Milind Chandwani, sharing glimpses of their intimate ceremony on social media along with a heartfelt caption. Chandwani, an alumnus of IIM-Ahmedabad, began his career at the Indian tech giant Infosys and later founded the NGO Campus Diaries, which focuses on supporting underprivileged children. In a post on X, Gor wrote, "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,' she added. Avika Gor and Milind Chandwani first crossed paths in Hyderabad in 2020 through mutual friends and have been in a relationship for nearly five years. Gor has often playfully remarked that she was "married to him in (her) head" long before their feelings became mutual. Milind Chandwani is an engineer-turned-philanthropist. After graduating from Dayanand Sagar College of Engineering in Bangalore, he began his career as a Software Engineer at Infosys, according to a report by Republic. However, he left the corporate world to work with non-profits like Teach For India and iTeach Schools, focusing on education and welfare for marginalized communities. Currently, he serves as the CEO of Camp Diaries, an NGO that provides educational opportunities to children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Milind also gained public praise through his appearance on MTV Roadies Season 17, where he was a member of Neha Dhupia's gang. Though he didn't reach the finale, his performance and personality resonated with both the audience and the show's mentors, earning him a strong youth following. Widely known for her roles in television, Gor rose to fame with Balika Vadhu and Sasural Simar Ka. She later transitioned to films, starring in Vikram Bhatt's 1920: Horrors of the Heart (2023) and Bloody Ishq (2024). Most recently, she appeared in the Telugu crime thriller Shanmukha (2025). A couple of days ago, actor Hina Khan, who will also be seen in COLORS' reality TV show, tied the knot with boyfriend Rocky Jaiswal. I manifest drama. He manages it. And somehow, we just… Fit. Announcing their sacred union, Hina and Rocky in a joint Instagram post wrote, 'From two different worlds, we built a universe of love. Our differences faded, our hearts aligned, creating a bond to last lifetimes. We are our home, our light, our hope and together, we transcend all barriers. Today, our union is forever sealed in love and law. We seek your Blessings and Wishes as Wife and Husband.' (With inputs from agencies)

Female voices deserve more space in film music: Jonita Gandhi
Jonita Gandhi has voiced concerns about the underutilization of female vocalists in Hindi film music, pointing out the trend of reducing their roles to mere lines in male-dominated songs. She questions the creative choices that sideline the female narrative and highlights the waste of talent when renowned singers are given minimal parts. In a candid, no-holds-barred moment that echoes the growing calls for gender equity across creative industries, singer Jonita Gandhi pulled back the curtain on a troubling pattern in Hindi film music - female voices being reduced in songs otherwise dominated by male leads. R esponding to a pointed question during an exclusive interview with Bombay Times, about the recurring trend where even top-tier female vocalists are often handed just a few lines sandwiched between a male-dominated melody, Jonita didn't mince words. 'Honestly, they can do better,' she said bluntly. 'I don't think there's a reason why we only need to give four lines to the girl in a three- or four-minute-long song. ' Jonita's critique cuts deep into the creative choices made by composers and lyricists who continue to sideline the female narrative in music. 'Why not just make the song a male solo, if that's the case?' she asked. 'If you're including a female voice, give it space, give it meaning. Not enough effort is made to flesh out the female perspective.' Her comments shine a spotlight on a longstanding issue in the Indian music industry, where male-led songs dominate both screen time and sonic space. Even when renowned female singers are roped in, their presence is often tokenistic, just enough to check a box, rarely enough to make a statement. 'We're talking about incredible talents—Sunidhi Chauhan, Shreya Ghoshal—we all know they're phenomenal. But what's the point of bringing them into a song just to hand them two or three lines? It's a waste,' Gandhi asserted. She also acknowledged the bind many female artists find themselves in: accept a minimal part or miss out entirely. 'It's not in our control. You either do it or you don't, and someone else does. And sometimes these songs are just too beautiful to pass up,' she admitted. Yet, the bigger issue, she says, is the scarcity of female-centric songs that could serve as a counterbalance. 'It's not happening,' she said. Jonita's response to this disparity is carving her own path. 'That's also why I've started focusing more on my own music. Because in my own songs, I'm the star!' she signed off with a smile.

Kajol is gearing up for her upcoming horror film Maa, directed by Vishal Furia and produced by her husband Ajay Devgn. The film is set to hit theatres on June 27. Maa delves into how a mother can go to any length to protect her child. In real life, Kajol is a mother of two, Nysa and Yug. In her latest interview, she shared how her relationship is with her kids and how her parenting journey has been so far.

Reacting to this, the actress proudly stated that they both are her kids, and she is happy that 'they are very much their own people." Explaining this further, the actress recalled how once she asked her son Yug who he wished to look like, his father Ajay or his mother. It was his answer that surprised Kajol. Kajol shared, 'He looked at me like I'm holding a gun on his head. And he looked at me very calmly and very diplomatically turned around and says, 'I look like Yug. I am Yug'. So I think that defines my children." She added, 'I'm very, very happy to say that I've brought up two individuals who have their own personalities, who I hope have taught to think for themselves and I think that's been my biggest teaching as a parent." Moreover, Kajol also shared that once she reaches home, her kids always come up to her whining about things. 'The minute I see them ek baar mil gayi usko toh I am only mom. There's no other character that I can play at that point of time," said Kajol. Kajol's upcoming film Maa also features Indraneil Sengupta, Kherin Sharma and Ronit Roy in pivotal roles. It portrays the story of a mother who transforms into Kali to break a demonic curse based on fear, blood, and betrayal. The film also has Jitin Gulati, Gopal Singh, Surjyasikha Das, Yaaneea Bharadwaj and Roopkatha Chakraborty as supporting characters. First Published: June 12, 2025, 09:20 IST
