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.'

Bipasha Basu slams trolls fat-shaming her for weight gain after childbirth: ‘Memes do not define me'
Actor Bipasha Basu is not letting any meme, mocking her for her weight gain after childbirth, define her. She recently took a strong stance against trolls who were body-shaming her post-partum look, asserting that their hurtful comments don't define her identity or self-worth. Also read: Mika Singh feels Bipasha Basu is out of work because of her attitude: 'The drama she created on Dangerous ensured...' Instead, Bipasha pointed out that such behaviour reveals a disturbing aspect of society's mindset towards women. Bipasha took to Instagram to react to the online chatter around her weight gain after embracing motherhood. She expressed her thoughts in the comments section of a reel that criticised the unfair expectations and pressures women face after childbirth. The reel referenced an Instagram post featuring a collage of Bipasha's past and present photos, set to the lyrics of Night Changes, which seemed to emphasise the changes in her appearance over time. Shweta Vijay Nair, a former Miss India and beauty influencer, took to Instagram to speak out against the unrealistic expectations placed on women, particularly mothers. In her reel, she highlighted the emotional and physical toll of motherhood, emphasising how women are expected to juggle multiple roles while facing judgment for even the smallest imperfections in their appearance. A post shared by Shweta (@shwetavijaynair) Bipasha reacted to the whole issue in the comment section. 'Thank you for your clear words... Hope the human race does not remain so shallow and so low forever… and they encouarge and applaud women for the million roles they play each day,' she wrote in the comment section. Bipasha continued, 'I am a super confident woman with a very evolved loving partner and family. Memes and trolls do not define me ever… nor did they make me who i am. But these are deeply disturbing reflections of the society towards women . Another woman in my place could be deeply affected and scarred with the viciousness'. 'Anyways if we have more strong voices and atleast women understanding and applauding women for who they are then women will rise higher and higher :) We are unstoppable ladies,' she ended. Her husband and actor Karan Singh Grover wrote, 'We should be putting all the women we know and love on a pedestal and praying to them. They are the gods/goddesses we should pray to. In fact I believe that god/ source is a feminine energy. Nothing else could have created something as beautiful as life'. He also thanked her for 'being so awesome'. Bipasha and Karan welcomed their first child on November 12, 2022, six years after their marriage. Taking to Instagram, Bipasha had shared a post through which she announced the name of her daughter. The picture read, "12.11.2022. Devi Basu Singh Grover. The physical manifestation of our love and blessings of Ma is here now and she is divine'. Since then, the actor has focused on her daughter.

Ex-girlfriend of Aaron Rodgers reacts after he confirms secret marriage: "It's really just harassment"
Aaron Rodgers confirms he's married—ex-girlfriend breaks silence (Getty Images) Aaron Rodgers, one of the NFL's most iconic quarterbacks, has always made headlines—both on and off the field. On Tuesday, after completing his first official workout with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Rodgers finally put long-standing rumors to rest regarding his relationship status. The speculation began swirling last month when he was spotted at the Kentucky Derby sporting a ring on his left hand, triggering questions about a secret wedding. Those whispers only grew louder when the Steelers posted a photo of him signing his one-year deal while wearing what looked like a wedding band. Aaron Rodgers secretly married months ago—ex-girlfriend finally breaks silence with a surprising reaction Aaron Rodgers ended the mystery in a low-key but definitive way. 'Been a couple of months,' he said when asked how long he's been married. And just like that, fans knew—he's officially off the market. His wife's identity, however, remains under wraps. Back in December, the four-time MVP revealed on The Pat McAfee Show that he was dating someone named Brittani. That appears to be the relationship that led to marriage, although Rodgers hasn't offered more details. Before tying the knot, Rodgers had a well-documented history of high-profile relationships. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Men Over 40 Are Dumping Viagra After Trying This $5 Game-Changer FridayPlans Learn more Undo He dated Danica Patrick, was engaged to Shailene Woodley, and was also linked to Mallory Edens—daughter of Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Wes Edens. The rumored romance with Edens never reached official confirmation, but her name re-entered the spotlight following Rodgers' surprise marriage. Edens, a Princeton graduate and prominent Instagram influencer, didn't stay entirely silent amid the storm. But rather than addressing the relationship speculation directly, she spoke out against the invasive nature of the media frenzy. 'Tracking down somebody's cellphone number, calling them at all hours of the day and asking for a comment on a gossip magazine story isn't journalism, it's really just harassment,' she wrote in an Instagram Story. In the same post, Edens added, 'If we work together and you can't reach me, I'm sorry — please shoot me an email and I can share my new number.' The message suggests that the attention got so intense, she had to change her phone number to escape the chaos. Over the years, Edens has made a name for herself beyond being linked to famous figures. With experience at top modeling agencies like Ford Models and Women Management, and a growing online following, she's carved out her own space in the public eye. Yet her message was clear: even public figures deserve boundaries. Meanwhile, Rodgers seems content to keep his personal life shielded from the spotlight. With a new chapter unfolding in Pittsburgh, the future Hall of Famer appears focused on football—and maybe a bit of peace and privacy too. Whether he chooses to open up further or not, it's clear that both he and Edens are drawing their own lines in a world that rarely respects them.
