Mumbai: Television actress Avika Gor, who became a household name after featuring in the sitcom ‘Balika Vadhu’, got engaged to her longtime boyfriend Milind Chandwani.
Avika took to her Instagram handle on Wednesday to share the news with her fans.
Along with pictures from her engagement ceremony, 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. But, It. Is. Magical.”
Avika and Milind have been in a relationship for over 5 years.
Avika opened up about her relationship with Milind on a podcast hosted by Harsh Limbachia and Bharti Singh.
“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 (It is what it is. There was no second thought about it. I am married to him in my mind). But he was sensible enough. He told me, ‘You’re still 26 and I am 32. You take your time to work and see life’,” said Avika.
Milind, an IIM graduate, runs an NGO called Camp Diaries and has also participated in the reality show, MTV Roadies Real Heroes.
