Avika Gor On Her Social Issues
Gor's viral posts from October last year elaborated how and why she was inspired to make the shift to healthier life choices. "when I looked at myself in the mirror & I broke down. I didn't like what I saw. Big arms, legs, a well earned belly. I had let go too much," she said. The actor even mentioned that issues like PCOD or thyroid weren't behind her weight gain and that the accountability was all hers.
"Such insecurities run in the head all the time & they make us feel tired & irritated...Well, one fine day I decided that it was enough, and that I must evolve," she added. Saying that although everyone is beautiful as they are, self-love should inspire us to take care of ourselves. "...the least we can do is try to get better," she said in a subsequent post.

Gor has also emerged as a vocal advocate of environmental preservation on social media. In December, during one of her travels, she wrote in length about how people left behind their "footprints" in green tourist locations, saying, "The plastic, the dirt, the writing, etc takes the beauty out of these places." She wrote that though she makes it a point to always pick up litter whenever she spots it, there was a need for everyone to do their bit.
