Last year, the media was abuzz with speculation about a possible separation between Yuvika Chaudhary and Prince Narula following the news of Yuvika's pregnancy. While neither of them addressed the rumours at the time, Yuvika has now spoken candidly about navigating those challenging moments and the strength she found with Prince by her side.
In a heartfelt conversation on the Hindi Rush podcast, Yuvika shared her experience: 'Since I was pregnant, I didn't want to give those rumours too much importance. I chose to react subtly and didn't create a scene. I thought if I made a fuss, it would only get worse. but I didn't realise it would escalate regardless. For me, the pregnancy phase was far more important than any gossip. I believed that such things come and go in life, but the time I had with my pregnancy would never come back. So I ignored everything. But that ignorance weighed heavily on me. I realized that if I spoke out then, it might have only made things worse, so I chose silence.'
She further added, 'Pregnancy meant more to me at that time. When the baby came, that became my priority, not answering questions from others. I built a wall around myself because I needed to focus on my life, my baby, and healing my body. I had to become strong enough to take care of my child. The changes happening in your body during pregnancy are something no one truly understands. I learned that your pain is yours alone. No matter how much you share it, it hurts the same. So, I decided it's better not to say anything or share my problems with anyone. I prefer to keep my struggles to myself rather than explaining or justifying them to others.'
Speaking about Prince's support during this time, she said: 'He was a great support. Of course, life was busy, but as a couple, we needed to show understanding. There were misunderstandings because that phase naturally came with some confusion. But I knew it was just a phase and why it was happening. Pregnancy brings emotional ups and downs, mood swings where sometimes you're happy, sometimes sad, and sometimes you want your partner right beside you. He did whatever he could to be there for me. Looking at it from both perspectives helps. These phases come and go, but at the end of the day, what matters most is that a child is on the way.'

Yuvika also revealed that during this period they had other responsibilities to manage: 'At home, there was a lot of interior work going on. Prince had always wanted a bigger home where the baby could grow up. So, when my pregnancy happened, the renovation work also began. It was a busy time. I shifted to my mother's house because during pregnancy, you need lots of love and care. Prince could either focus on work or be with me, and he decided it was best for me to stay with my mom, where I'd get all the care I needed. Later, he also moved there for some time. Taking care of the house, shoots, and everything else was a lot. And I don't think it's a sin for a woman to live with her parents during pregnancy, everyone does it. But those who didn't understand this made it an issue. I was determined not to justify myself or give attention to such things, I just wanted to focus on the baby.'
She also touched upon how the rumours affected Prince: 'Prince is a bit emotional; hearing things from people affected him. So I tried to talk to him through it. There was also a huge distance between us back then because he stayed at one place while I was at another. But that phase passed.'
Prince Narula and Yuvika Chaudhary met on the sets of Bigg Boss Season 9. They married on October 12, 2018. After six years of marriage, they announced Yuvika's pregnancy in June 2024 and joyfully welcomed their daughter, Ekleen, in October that year.
