Avika Gor Graces Laughter Chefs With Husband Milind Chandwani, Says 'It Was Special'
Last Updated: Avika Gor and Milind Chandwani will soon be seen in the upcoming reality show Pati Patni Aur Panga – Jodiyon Ka Reality Check. From debuting as television's most iconic child bride to now stepping into her real-life bahu era with her fiancé Milind Chandwani right by her side, Avika Gor has come a long way. Recently, the couple made their first-ever television appearance together on the semi-finale of Laughter Chefs Unlimited Entertainment, just ahead of their upcoming reality show Pati Patni Aur Panga – Jodiyon Ka Reality Check. What unfolded on set was nothing short of delightful. While Avika made herself perfectly at home—steering clear of the stove and floating freely between stations—Milind was put through the paces with quirky tasks, surprise games, and Bharti's relentless leg-pulling. But instead of shying away, he jumped into the chaos with full spirit, turning what could've been a quiet debut into an unexpectedly entertaining one. Avika Gor reflects on her experience with Milind Chandwani for the very first time on national television, 'It was special to return to a TV show—and this time, with Milind by my side. Laughter Chefs is a show I've followed since the beginning, so being part of the semi-finale felt like something I just had to do. Watching Milind experience it all for the first time—the energy, the madness, the fun—and seeing how naturally he blended in made me so happy." 'Bharti and I kept chatting about how much fun he was having. I've also known Aly and Karan for years now, so catching up with them on a set where no one's taking themselves too seriously just made the whole day even better. Honestly, not being trusted with actual cooking turned out to be a blessing. I floated around, got pulled into jokes, and had the best time. Laughter Chefs was our fun little prep before Pati Patni Aur Panga takes over our lives," the actress added. Avika Gor and Milind Chandwani got engaged in June this year. Milind is a social activist and entrepreneur. He is the founder of the NGO Camp Diaries, which empowers underprivileged children by providing creative and skill-based exposure. He rose to public prominence as a contestant on MTV Roadies Real Heroes in 2019. view comments First Published: July 19, 2025, 14:35 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
