Mumbai, Aug 4 (NationPress) TV actress Avika Gor has shared the intriguing story of her romance with fiancé Milind Chandwani, highlighting an unexpected twist at the onset of their relationship.

In a recent discussion with IANS, the star of 'Balika Vadhu' revealed that when they first met, Milind placed her in the friend zone, oblivious to the fact that their connection would evolve into something profound. Avika recounted that their journey began with friendship, stating, “I was initially friend-zoned, but after six months, he acknowledged his feelings. Now, six years later, we’re engaged. It has been a wonderful journey.”

Interestingly, Avika made her wedding announcement with Milind during the flashy premiere of Colors’ new reality series “Pati Patni Aur Panga.” She expressed, “There’s something beautifully poetic about returning to where it all started, filled with gratitude, nostalgia, and purpose. 'Balika Vadhu' taught me and many others about the power of choice and the bravery required to reshape one's destiny. Years later, I return to Colors, not as Anandi the Balika, but as Avika Gor, the woman ready to make the choice of a lifetime.”

“My fiancé, Milind, has been my growth partner, my staunch supporter, and a fellow dreamer who sees me beyond the scripts. When he proposed to me, I said the easiest yes of my life. We are two flawed individuals choosing to grow together, challenge one another, and create something genuine. I couldn’t have picked a more fitting place to share this than here, where it all began. Announcing our wedding on 'Pati Patni Aur Panga' is both symbolic and personal. I have grown up in front of Colors’ audience, and I want to celebrate this milestone with them. To everyone who embraced me as the balika vadhu all those years ago, I now seek your blessings as I embark on this real-life journey. This is my full-circle moment, and I’m immensely grateful to share it with the very people who have been part of my journey.”
