After Hina Khan, Indian TV’s one more favourite actress is all set to get married. Balika Vadhu fame actress, Avika Gor, got engaged to her long-time boyfriend and founder of the NGO Campus Diaries, Milind Chandwani. On June 11, 2025, the couple held their roka ceremony, a customary pre-wedding rite. They posted heartfelt photos from the occasion on Instagram. The pictures went viral among fans and the media right away.
Avika shared blissful moments from the engagement ceremony with the caption, “He asked.. I smiled, I cried (in that order).. and screamed the easiest YES of my life!”. She further expressed how beautifully balanced their relationship is, “ I’m full 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.”, she concluded the heartfelt caption.
To this, Milind replied by saying that with his direction and her drama, they will make a blockbuster movie, “Plot Twist: The real background music was my heartbeat going at 200 BPM. You said yes, and suddenly every filmy line started making sense. Tu drama hai, main direction, aao best picture banaein.”
They were first introduced by mutual friends in Hyderabad in 2020, marking the start of their journey together. What began as a casual acquaintance swiftly became a deep friendship. During an interview on a podcast with Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa, Avika disclosed that while she was certain of her sentiments from the beginning, Milind decided to spend the first six months in the friend zone. They started dating later that year. The couple was dating for 6 years before putting a ring on their relationship.
Milind looked stunning in an ivory sherwani with pink accents, while Avika was looking radiant in a soft pink silk saree with silver edging.
