Who is Milind Chandwani, Balika Vadhu actor Avika Gor's to-be husband?
On Wednesday, TV and OTT star Avika Gor and her longtime boyfriend, Milind Chandwani, got engaged. The actor called it the easiest "yes" of her life while posting two photos from the party to Instagram. For those who are unaware, the couple has been together for five years and has never held back from publicly declaring their love. In November 2020, she had introduced her boyfriend to the public. For the engagement, Avika chose to wear a baby pink silk saree. While the former MTV Roadies contestant wore a multicolored traditional attire with sadri and white kurta pajamas. Avika Gor gets engaged: The 'announcement' post The actor shared photos from her engagement ceremony and commented, 'He asked.. I smiled, I cried and screamed the easiest YES of my life! I'm full of filmy — background score, slow-mo dreams, mascara running and all. He's logical, 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 of real love? It may not always be perfect. But, It. Is. Magical.' Who is Milind Chandwani, Avika's finance? Milind Chandwani was an engineer, and is now a philanthropist. According to a Republic report, he started working as a software engineer at Infosys after graduating from Bangalore's Dayanand Sagar College of Engineering. He did, however, leave the business world to work with non-profits that prioritise the welfare and education of marginalised communities, such as Teach For India and iTeach Schools. He is currently the CEO of Camp Diaries, a non-profit organisation that offers educational opportunities to underprivileged kids. Additionally, Milind received widespread recognition for his role as a part of Neha Dhupia's gang on MTV Roadies Season 17. His talent and charm struck a chord with the audience and the show's mentors, gaining him a devoted young fan base despite his failure to make it to the finale. Avika Gor on her 'marriage plans' Avika appeared in the podcast hosted by Bharti Singh and Harsh Limbachiyaa. In the podcast, the actress candidly discussed her private life and stated, 'Milind Chandwani and I have been dating each other for 4 years. Milind is not from our industry. He has a job and apart from this, he also has an NGO. When our relationship started, we were only in the friend zone for the first 6 months. We never rushed in our relationship. Milind is so good that I have married him in my mind. I feel like marrying him today, but Milind says that there is a lot of difference between my age and his. So I should take my time accordingly. Only after this should I think about marriage.' About the actress, Avika Gaur Avika Gaur has made a name for herself in the TV industry. In her role as Anandi in the television series "Balika Vadhu," the audience showered her with love. Avika has been a part of this series for a long time. Later on, she played Roli in "Sasural Simar Ka". In addition to appearing in several well-known TV shows, Avika has acted in a number of well-known South Indian films, such as "Uyyala Jampala," "Ekadiki Pothavu Chinnavada," and "Thank You."

Sachin Tendulkar Never Used ‘God', Virat Kohli Didn't Write ‘King': Fans Troll Shubman Gill For ‘Prince' Bat Sticker
Shubman Gill is all set to lead India in the upcoming Test series against England starting June 2025, but his captaincy debut is already making headlines—not for cricket, but for his bat sticker. Fans spotted the word 'Prince' written below the MRF Genius logo on his bat and began trolling the young star on social media. Carrying A Legendary Legacy Gill is the latest batter to sign a bat sponsorship deal with MRF, a brand that has been associated with cricketing greats like Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara, AB de Villiers, and Virat Kohli. These icons proudly carried the Genius sticker on their bats but never added any personal nickname. So when Gill's bat was seen carrying the word "Prince" along with "MRF Genius", many fans felt it was too bold, especially before proving himself fully in Test cricket. Why 'Prince' Is Causing A Stir The Overhyped "Prince" of Indian Cricket Shubman Gill is so self-obsessed. Who even called you the Prince? A so-called 'Prince of ICT with a poor SENA record, a below 35 Test average, and zero overseas centuries across all formats after 5 years in his international career. — Niik (@Niiki099) June 11, 2025 The nickname 'Prince' was originally linked to Brian Lara, one of the greatest batters of all time. Over time, fans also started calling Gill 'Prince' as a sign of admiration and expectations. However, critics say that adding it to his bat sticker was a step too far. Fans pointed out that Tendulkar never used 'God' and Kohli never had 'King' written on their bats despite being globally known by those titles. Sachin Tendulkar never played with a bat that had "God" written over it and Virat Kohli never played with a bat that had "King" written over it. You get tags with your performances and the tags are given by the greats of the game and not from the social media. (@CricCrazyV) June 11, 2025 Not a New Addition, But Now Under Spotlight Interestingly, the word 'Prince' first appeared on Gill's bat during the IPL 2025 season, but it went largely unnoticed. It came into the spotlight recently after the BCCI released official team photos ahead of the England series. Fans zoomed in and spotted the sticker, triggering online discussions and mixed reactions. Despite the online trolling, Gill seems focused on the job. In his first address as captain, he encouraged his teammates to take every practice session seriously. "Let us play every ball with purpose... It's not about surviving but about discovering our game under pressure," Gill said. His calm and determined words suggest that he's aiming to make a strong start to his captaincy era. MRF, in its statement earlier this year, praised Gill as the right man to carry forward the legacy of batting excellence. "With legends like Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, and Brian Lara having graced the iconic MRF bat, Shubman Gill now carries forward this tradition," the brand said. Upcoming England Series Big Test For Shubhman Gill The upcoming five-match Test series against England will be played from June to August 2025 at Headingley (Leeds), Edgbaston (Birmingham), Lord's, The Oval (London), and Old Trafford (Manchester). It will be a huge opportunity for Gill to prove his leadership skills and silence the critics.
