In the swirl of glitter, henna, and pastel draperies that is mehndi season, actress Avika Gor has managed to carve herself a little space for a subtle yet bold gesture that is going viral. During her engagement ceremonies with Milind Chandwani, Avika inscribed not just her fiancé's name on her palms, but also the names of her in-laws. And suddenly, what appeared to be a lovely moment is heralded as a movement.
