Balika Vadhu Star Avika Gor Gets Engaged to Longtime Partner Milind Chandwani

Avika Gor, best known for her breakout role in the television series Balika Vadhu, has announced her engagement to her longtime boyfriend, Milind Chandwani.

The couple made the announcement on Wednesday through social media, sharing heartfelt photos from their engagement.

The Announcement

The engagement post featured pictures of the couple smiling and posing together. Avika, who became a household name as a child actor, expressed her emotions in a heartfelt caption.

She 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.”

Avika and Milind have been in a relationship for over five years. She first introduced him publicly in November 2020. Their relationship has been well-received by fans, with the couple frequently sharing their moments together online.

Avika on Her Relationship

Avika previously opened up about her relationship with Milind during an episode of the podcast hosted by Harsh Limbachia and Bharti Singh.

During the conversation, she revealed, “He is a 9-5 corporate guy, who also runs an NGO. He is not from the industry. We met each other through a mutual friend in Hyderabad. He initially friend-zoned me for six months. I started liking him since day one. I was very sure about him. When you know, you know… Mere haath mein hota toh main saadhe chaar saal pehle shaadi kar chuki hoti. Kuch sochna nahin tha. Ab jo hai yahi hai. Mere dimaag mein toh ho chuki hai shaadi.”

She also shared Milind’s sensible perspective. “He told me, ‘You’re still 26 and I am 32. You take your time to work and see life.’” The actor’s comments reflected her deep affection and long-standing bond with Milind.

Who is Milind Chandwani?

Milind Chandwani is the founder of an NGO called Camp Diaries and is known for his past participation in the reality show MTV Roadies Real Heroes.

Unlike Avika, he does not belong to the entertainment industry, working primarily in the social sector. His balance of logic and calm is something Avika often highlights, contrasting with her self-described filmy personality.

Reality Show Appearance

Just a day after their engagement announcement, Avika and Milind were spotted together on the sets of the new reality show Pati Patni Aur Panga. The show brings celebrity couples together to share stories and insights about their relationships.

A video shared by a paparazzo on Instagram captured Avika stepping out of her vanity van while Milind appeared to trip slightly on the stairs. Avika looked stunning in a red dress as the newly engaged couple posed for the cameras.

Pati Patni Aur Panga features popular television couples, including Hina Khan-Rocky Jaiswal, Gurmeet Choudhary-Debina Bonnerjee, Ankita Lokhande-Vicky Jain, and Karan Kundrra-Tejasswi Prakash.

A Love Story in the Public Eye

Avika and Milind began dating in 2020. Over the years, they have built a strong following on social media where they frequently post pictures together. Their fans have witnessed their journey through candid moments and public appearances.

Avika’s role as Anandi in Balika Vadhu made her a recognizable face in Indian households. She further gained popularity through her performance in Sasural Simar Ka.

Milind’s contribution through his NGO work and his appearance on Roadies added a different dimension to the couple’s public image.

Looking Ahead

Their engagement announcement has been met with widespread love and congratulations from fans and industry peers.

With their appearance on Pati Patni Aur Panga, the couple is expected to share more about their relationship in the weeks to come.

The pairing of Avika’s emotional nature with Milind’s grounded personality appears to be a perfect blend, as reflected in her caption: “Somehow, we just… Fit.”
