‘Choosing Each Other Every Single Day’

The celebration comes weeks after Avika and Milind completed their first year of marriage. The couple, who began dating in 2020, tied the knot on 30 September 2025 in the presence of their families and close friends.

Speaking about what commitment means to her, Avika said, “I think love is in the little things, showing up for each other, being each other’s biggest cheerleader, laughing together, and standing by each other through everything.” She added, “For me, commitment isn’t just about grand gestures; it’s about choosing each other every single day.”

To her, the rituals of Karwa Chauth are lovely, but “the love, understanding, and friendship behind them are what truly matter.”

A Journey Beyond Balika Vadhu

Avika’s journey is one of television’s most notable child-to-lead transitions. She became a household name as young Anandi in Balika Vadhu, one of Indian television’s most popular shows, before moving on to play Roli in Sasural Simar Ka, a role that established her as a lead actress for a new generation of viewers.

She then turned to Telugu cinema, making a successful lead debut with Uyyala Jampala in 2013. Films such as Cinema Chupistha Mava and Ekkadiki Pothavu Chinnavada followed, giving her a loyal fan base in the South at a time when few television actors made that crossover. She later made her Hindi film lead debut with Vikram Bhatt’s horror drama 1920: Horrors of the Heart in 2023.

Over nearly two decades, Avika has worked across television, Telugu films, Hindi cinema and reality shows, a range few actors who started as child artists have managed.

Tradition With a Personal Twist

Avika’s most interesting remarks were about how younger couples relate to festivals. She believes traditions stay relevant when they are celebrated in ways that feel authentic. “We’re a generation that loves experimenting, expressing ourselves, and doing things our own way, and I think we can do all of that while staying connected to our roots. Traditions don’t have to feel old-school; you can give them your own little twist and make them relevant to your life,” she said.

Her own plans reflect that view. A Karwa Chauth celebrated in Bangkok keeps the ritual intact while moving it to a new setting, mirroring a wider trend among young couples who turn festivals into travel-led celebrations without dropping the customs behind them.

“You can be modern, independent, and totally rooted in your culture, one doesn’t have to come at the cost of the other,” Avika said.

Coming from an actress whose most famous role highlighted the harsher side of tradition, the statement carries an added layer of meaning. For Avika, it seems, tradition works best when it is chosen, not imposed.
