Mumbai, October 7: Weddings often sparkle with music, grandeur, and celebration — but for actress Avika Gor, it was a small, tender moment that truly stole her heart. On COLORS’ popular reality series ‘Dhamaal with Pati Patni Aur Panga – Jodiyon Ka Reality Check’, a simple, caring question from Sonali Bendre turned into one of the most emotional moments of the show, leaving both women teary-eyed and audiences deeply moved.
As Avika prepared for what’s been dubbed as television’s most awaited big fat wedding, she recalled how one gesture — a hug from Sonali Bendre — became something she’ll treasure forever.
A Hug That Felt Like Home
Recounting the heartfelt exchange, Avika shared how, amid the chaos of wedding prep, Sonali Bendre’s warmth grounded her. When Avika revealed her wedding invite on the show, Sonali embraced her and softly asked, “Is this really happening? How are you feeling?” — a simple question that carried immense emotion.
Avika said, “When the wedding invite was revealed and Sonali ma’am hugged me, it felt like a hug from family. Not just a hug on TV, but one that reached right into my heart. She held me and asked, ‘Is this really happening? How are you feeling?’ Until that moment, I don’t think anyone had ever really asked me that — not like that. Not with those eyes that genuinely cared about my answer.”
It wasn’t a scripted or performative gesture — it was real, raw, and deeply human. “It wasn’t about cameras, or drama, or the show,” Avika added, “it felt personal, intimate, and real. I felt seen, understood, and supported.”
An Emotional Thank You
After the wedding segment wrapped, Avika took a quiet moment to express her gratitude to Sonali. The two shared another hug — this time filled with tears and warmth. “After the wedding, I knew I had to thank her because that hug made me feel like somebody very close, like family was with me, someone genuinely sharing the moment and celebrating with me. Thanking Sonu ma’am felt so needed, and it’s a memory I’ll carry forever.”
It’s moments like these that remind audiences why Dhamaal with Pati Patni Aur Panga has struck such a chord — beyond all the laughter and competition, it’s the authenticity and connection between people that shines through.
