Mumbai, Nov 26 (NationPress) Television actress Avika Gor has shared her playful reason for calling herself the ‘shadi shuda paglu.’

In her recent Instagram update, the ‘Balika Vadhu’ star expressed her joy and the thrill of being newly married during the vibrant wedding season. She mentioned how much she enjoys adorning herself with traditional marriage symbols like sindoor (vermilion applied to the hair parting) and mangalsutra (the sacred necklace worn by married women). Avika also encouraged her followers to share their own experiences, asking if anyone else went through a similar transition after marriage.

In her post, she shared a stunning photo, stating, “Wedding season is here and as a newlywed I get to dress up with my sindoor and mangalsutra. Officially the 'shadi shuda paglu.' Anyone else went through this phase?” Avika looked gorgeous in a chic pink ensemble, completing her look with sindoor and a mangalsutra, fully embracing her newlywed aura.

Recently, Avika tied the knot with her long-time partner, Milind Chandwani, during the reality show “Pati Patni Aur Panga.” She also shared insights about her experience of getting married on national television, stating, “When we decided to do this, we were fully aware that there would be criticism—we weren't surprised. However, I've always made unconventional choices since my early days, including the decision to marry. There have always been skeptics, yet I have consistently believed in paving my own way.”

Describing her wedding as just another chapter in her life journey, the 'Sasural Simar Ka' actress stated, “I knew my wedding would be different. I've always said that my life experiences are something many would dream of living, and I acknowledge that. I am truly grateful for it. Nevertheless, it’s not easy to manage criticism while staying true to your beliefs. That’s what has brought me to where I am today.”
