Actress Avika Gor, who rose to fame as Anandi in the TV serial Balika Vadhu, has now grown up and recently got engaged at the age of 27. After dating for several years, Avika got engaged to her long-time boyfriend, Milind Chandwani. Their engagement pictures are going viral on social media. The actress made her relationship official in November 2020, and the couple had been dating for almost five years. For the engagement, Avika looked stunning in a light pink floral saree, while Milind complemented her in a matching traditional kurta-pyjama paired with a floral pink jacket. Sharing the photos, Avika 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.' Milind Chandwani, who prefers to stay low-key, is an alumnus of IIM-Ahmedabad. He began his career at the Indian tech giant Infosys, and worked in a 9-5 role as a software engineer. However, he didn't just limit himself to the corporate world. He followed his passion for social change and founded an NGO, Camp Diaries, that focuses on supporting underprivileged children. Apart from being in corporate, he took a step towards showbiz by being a participant in MTV Roadies Real Heroes in 2019. He was in Neha Dhupia's team, where he left the audience impressed with his confidence and humble nature. Avika Gor had shared that it was Milind's idea to take time and explore more things with Avika before tying the knot. She was 26, and he was 32 when they decided to give time to their bond.
