Avika Gor, Milind Chandwani’s Mangalsutra Prank

When asked about the Mangalsutra prank on Pati, Patni Aur Panga show, Avika Gor shared, “Toh yeh puri prank Colors ki team ne plan ki thi. Humaari jo creative team thi un sabke saath discussion karke, mujhe iss prank ke baare mein pata tha. Aur mere papa ko bhi pata tha kyunki hum milke karne waale the aur unhone specifically kaha tha ki Milind ko mat batana, kyunki Milind ek actor nahi hai. So, to expect him to cover up wouldn’t happen, so let’s not involve him. But maine bata diya tha, because mujhe bhi safe khelna tha, ki kahi yeh mujhse jhagda nahi karne baithe. Toh mujhe safe khelna tha toh, maine bol, ‘Yeh hone wala, but you don’t know about this’. Toh isne toh double acting ki hai maine ki hai, but isnekiya jaise, ‘Oh my god! Yeh prank tha?’ Toh inke acting ka credits banta hai.”

She continued, “You killed it. Maine jaa jaa iske(Milind) ke gharwaalo ko bola hai ki ise pata tha.”

Avika Gor On Bidaai

Speaking of everyone becoming emotional during their Bidaai on the show, Avika shared, “Maine actually mangalsutra waale prank ko haa kyun bola tha amin batati hoon. Kyunki bidaai pe koun hi royega, shaadi ke baad same hi ghar jaana hai, toh ise acha mujhe yaahan rone mil raha hai, toh main yehi ro leti hoon naa. Nahi pata tha ki bidaai main wapis rona aajayega. But the idea was rona hai.”

She concluded, “Actually, this was my intention, ki jinlogo ne mujhe bachpan se dekha hai unhe yeh shaadi dekhne mile, aur unhe lage ki woh iss shaadi ka hissa hai. I have literally got goosebumps just by hearing this. I am so happy.”

Avika-Milind Marriage
