Actor Avika Gor: Loving the ‘Hone waali bahu' tag after engagement to Milind Chandwani
On Wednesday, actor Avika Gor surprised fans by announcing her engagement to engineer-turned-philanthropist Milind Chandwani. 'Easiest 'yes' of my life,' she wrote on Instagram.
While they dated for close to five years, Avika (27) says she and Milind (32) were sure about their future together from the get-go. The actor tells us, 'The surety of stepping into a new world with him is on a new level. I am extremely excited; I wanted the world to know about our journey and be part of our happiness.'
While this phase of life is 'taking a while to sink in', the actor adds that she's enjoying the lead-up to their nuptials: 'Now that we are officially engaged, I got the tag of 'hone waali bahu' from my in-laws, and I am loving it.'
As for her long-time beau, Avika says they complement each other 'perfectly'. She shares, 'I'm a hardcore filmi-type romantic, and Milind is completely opposite, but he made it a point to make things extra romantic for me.' Recalling a particularly memorable moment from the ceremony in Hyderabad, she says, 'While it was drizzling, he was like, 'Baarish mein rings exchange karte hain'.'
Avika expressed her excitement about this new chapter. "I am extremely excited and wanted the world to know about our new journey and wanted all to be part of our happiness," she shared. The actor revealed that picking the specific date for the announcement had been on her mind for quite some time, so it "had to happen on the set day."
Now that they're engaged, are wedding bells close? Avika confirms, 'Issi saal hoga; we want to get hitched soon.' She playfully adds, 'He is my dream man, and I want to believe that I am his dream girl too; but if I am not, then bechare ke paas koi option nahin hain (laughs).'
Avika also mentions that this period marks many "firsts" with Milind. "I don't know why and how we both agreed to do a reality show together, so that's another phase awaiting," she mused.
The actor began dating Milind, who runs an NGO and appeared on Roadies 17, in 2020 and went public a few months later.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now She shares, 'Milind is my soulmate. He is mature and balanced, and we waited for a long time to get engaged. It was his idea that we should get to know each other well, and that's why we waited for many years. I wanted to keep it a low-key affair, and so there were only family members present.' She adds, 'We'll soon set a wedding date. We plan to get married by the end of this year.' The couple has been in a long-distance relationship, with Milind based in Bengaluru and Avika in Mumbai. 'It's not easy. We both travel a lot for work. But I've learnt that a good companion is someone who's also your best friend and supports your dreams. Milind has always been supportive. When people recognise me as Anandi and pull my cheeks, he clicks pictures — he's proud of me. He brings stability to my spontaneous nature. ' Post marriage, Avika has no plans to move to a different city. She said, 'Just because my work is here, I would not want Milind to move to Mumbai either. I travel a lot for my South films, and Milind's parents stay in Hyderabad, so that will give me a chance to spend time with them.' 'Not a PR strategy' The engagement coincides with their participation in a reality show based on couples. Ask her if it's just a coincidence, and she says, 'I didn't want to announce the engagement because of the show, but then I thought, why not just go with it? It's not a PR strategy, just a coincidence.' Along with her acting projects, Avika turned producer with the Telugu film Popcorn. 'Just like my engagement, my production house is a dream come true. I'm happy with the path I've carved in showbiz,' she signs off. 'Balika Vadhu' fame Avika Gor all set to make her big Bollywood debut
