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."

She further shared, "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 had earlier shared her love story with Milind, saying he had earlier friend-zoned her for six months, and that she had liked him since day one. In 2024, the Dil Se Dil Tak actress appeared on Bharti Singh's podcast, where she recalled that when she first introduced Milind to her family, they instantly brought up the topic of marriage.
She has even expressed her eagerness to get married to Milind, saying that if it were up to her, she would have tied the knot years ago. She said, "Mere dimaag mein ho chuki hai shaadi. 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,'" she said last year.
Milind Chandwani is a social activist and entrepreneur. An MBA from IIM Ahmedabad, he began his career as a software engineer. He rose to prominence after he appeared as a contestant on MTV Roadies Real Heroes in 2019.
