EXCLUSIVE: Yuvika Chaudhary reveals how Prince Narula separation rumors affected her relationship, 'Humare beech distance aagaya...'
In an exclusive conversation, Yuvika Chaudhary was asked how she dealt with the separation news circulating on the internet. She shared that she was in her pregnancy phase and didn't want to stress over the rumors, so she chose to react subtly. Yuvika explained that she thought if she reacted too much to the news, it would escalate into a bigger issue.
She emphasized that her pregnancy was more important to her than the rumors. Whenever she felt she wanted to respond, she worried about creating chaos.

Yuvika continued, "Joh hona tha voh hua. I maintained my silence. Initially, mai pregnant thi, mere liye pregnancy zyada maaine rakhti thi. Fir muje baby hua, mere liyeb baby zyada important tha na ki mai logo ki sawaalo ka jawab du.Maine apni duniya mai ek wall khada kar liya tha. (Whatever was supposed to happen, happened. I maintained my silence. Initially, I was pregnant, and for me, my pregnancy mattered more. Later, when my baby was born, my child became my priority, rather than answering people's questions. I had built a wall around my world)."
Yuvika mentioned that during that time, her focus was solely on her pregnancy, her child, her body, and her life.
How did Prince Narula react to the separation news?
When asked about how Prince Narula supported her amidst the news of their separation, Yuvika admitted that he was there for her. As a couple, they showed understanding toward each other.
She remarked, "Because of all this trolling, uske vajese definently misunderstanding uss phase mai aa gayi thi. But I knew it's just a phase aur ye kyu ho rha hai (Because of all this trolling, misunderstandings definitely arose during that phase. But I knew it was just a phase and understood why it was happening)."
Yuvika highlighted the importance of considering the other person's perspective. She said, "Aate hai, har tarah ke phase aate hai. But end of the day aap yeh side dekho ki bacha aa rha hai (There are various phases that come and go. But at the end of the day, you should remember that a baby is on the way)."
The Bigg Boss 9 fame also recalled the added stress during that time, as their house was being renovated and she shifted to her mother's home at Prince's suggestion while she was pregnant.
Yuvika noted that since moving to her mother's house, the rumors intensified. She stressed how important it was for her to avoid focusing on these rumors.
Talking about the differences, Yuvika recalled, "Prince, of course thoda emotional ho jaata hai. Jazbaati hai. Logo ka sunke. uss waqt hua voh. Toh usko affect karti thi chize (Prince, of course, tends to get emotional and affected by what others say. This naturally impacted him during that time)."
The actress added, "Mai uss waqt samjaati thi lekin voh phase aisa tha. Humare beech distance bhi aa gaya tha. But ho gaya. Phase nikal gaya and that is why uss waqt mera jawab dena nahi banta tha (I used to make him understand but there was a phase. There was distance between us. But it went. Phase went away and which is why I felt it wasn't the right time to respond to the rumors)."
For the uninformed, Prince Narula and Yuvika tied the knot in October 2018 and welcomed a baby girl in 2024.

Feed your baby wherever you want to, feel proud, not ashamed: Yuvika Chaudhary
As the world celebrates Breastfeeding Week, actor Yuvika Chaudhary talks her journey through motherhood, stigma surrounding breast feeding, challenges and more. 'When my baby is cranky, not eating, or unwell, the only thing that calms her is breastfeeding,' she says, adding, 'It's not just food, it's comfort, security, and love, all in one. And I feel proud to be able to give her that.' Yuvika Chaudhary with daughter Ikleen Yuvika on her breastfeeding journey & struggles Yuvika says she had no doubts about wanting to breastfeeds it was always the plan. 'Even while I was pregnant, my focus was always on the baby more than myself. That's what motherhood does to you. Yes, it hurts sometimes, especially when she bites—but it's a phase. It'll pass. And this connection you share through breastfeeding? It never comes back again,' shares Yuvika. Adding how her journey wasn't without struggle, as she recalls: 'The first three months were horrible. I didn't know how to do it, the milk wasn't coming properly, and I was wracked with guilt.' The 42-year-old actor adds, 'Everyone thinks it'll come naturally, but for me, it didn't. I tried everything—from using pumps to hand expression—and with time, I found my rhythm.' Today, Yuvika's approach is instinctive. If her baby needs her while she's out, she feeds without hesitation. 'I don't care who's watching. It's natural. It's beautiful. Why should we hide it? If a man can urinate by the roadside without shame, why is breastfeeding still taboo?' she questions. 'We need to normalize it. Not just in homes, but in workplaces and public spaces too.' She adds, how her family or her husband Prince Narula's family have normalised breast feeding and that's how it should be. 'At my place, it's completely normal, nobody's ever told me to go to another room or hide while feeding. Even if guests are around or I'm sitting in the living room, I feed my baby right there. I've vlogged while breastfeeding, I've spoken to my mom mid-feed; it's all very casual. And I feel that's how it should be in society too. It starts with us—if we normalize it in our own homes, people around us will follow,' expresses Yuvika. Why judge moms who don't breastfeed?: Yuvika Yuvika also raises questions towards people who judge mothers, who can't or choose not to breastfeed. 'If your body isn't producing milk, it's okay. You're not answerable to anyone. Don't feel ashamed. Everything in our body happens for a reason,' she emphasizes. 'We, as women, need to stop judging each other. We are so powerful—we give life. Let's support each other instead.' For the actor balancing work and motherhood came with its own set of adjustments. 'After three months, I resumed travel for shoots, but I always planned ahead—pumping and storing milk, keeping things ready,' she says. 'And I'm so lucky—everywhere I've gone, people have welcomed me with my baby. I always tell them now, it's not just me and my manager. I come with my whole team—my baby, my nanny, everyone.' The actor shares how she everyday is a learning process as she mentions how actor Neha Dhupia has been a great source of support and information in her journey. Yuvika shares, 'Neha is like a sister to me. She helped me understand so much about breastfeeding, especially when I was struggling. Even now, every day is a learning process. There's still so much I'm discovering, and Neha has been a huge part of that journey. This whole experience has opened up a completely new world for me.' Yuvika on fighting unrealistic post pregnancy body image Addressing the unrealistic body image expectations postpartum, Yuvika says, 'People ask if I'm dieting. I'm not. I eat whenever I'm hungry. You burn so many calories while breastfeeding. I've actually lost weight faster without even going to the gym. But more than that, I focus on feeling healthy from within. What's the point of being slim if you're aching and unwell all the time?' She adds, 'This phase won't come back. And the bond we've built through breastfeeding? That's for life. Feed your baby wherever you want to. Feel proud, not ashamed. This is your body, your child, your moment—own it unapologetically.'

Gizele Thakral talks about entering Bigg Boss Malayalam 7 a decade after Bigg Boss 9: ‘Grew up watching Mohanlal films'
Bigg Boss Malayalam's Season 7, hosted by Mohanlal, was officially launched on Sunday. One of the contestants on the reality TV show, Gizele Thakral, spoke to Hindustan Times right before she entered the house. Interestingly, Gizele was also a wildcard contestant on Season 9 of the Salman Khan-hosted show Bigg Boss in 2015. She talks about returning to the show a decade later, her fondness for Mohanlal, why she's better prepared to win the show this time around and more. Gizele Thakral was a wild-card contestant on Bigg Boss 9 in 2015. She is now a contestant on Bigg Boss Malayalam 7. Gizele Thakral on returning to Bigg Boss Gizele has appeared on multiple reality TV shows over the years, including Survivor India—The Ultimate Battle (2012), Welcome—Baazi Mehmaan Nawazi Ki (2013), Comedy Nights Bachao (2016), and Bigg Boss 9 (2015). When asked what attracts her to reality shows, she said, 'I've always enjoyed doing them. But I'll admit, a lot has changed in Bigg Boss from the season I was part of to what we see on television today.' Nonetheless, the actor-model says it feels 'nostalgic' to return to the show despite the changes. 'One thing that hasn't changed is that audiences connect the most when you're completely authentic and real. I'll be true to myself just like I was in the previous season. It definitely feels nostalgic to be entering the Bigg Boss house again after a decade, but this time I'm even more determined to prove my mettle. I hope my fans continue to root for me like they did in my previous projects.' Gizele, who was a wild card contestant on Bigg Boss 9, left the show early due to an injury she sustained during a task. 'I've always felt I didn't get my fair chance to show what I'm truly capable of in that game. This time around, I'm ready to give it everything I've got and make the most of the opportunity,' she says, adding, 'I'm genuinely excited to experience this new format and can't wait to win the hearts of audiences. Of course, my biggest goal is to stay injury-free and give my best so I can finally bring home the trophy.' On her unknown Keralite roots Gizele was born in Rajasthan, and she grew up in Punjab and Dubai before foraying into modelling and acting. She has starred in Hindi films like Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3 and Mastizaade and was a calendar girl for Kingfisher. Ask her if the diktat to speak in Malayalam on the show wouldn't be a language barrier, and she says, 'Not at all! Not many people know it, but I'm half Malayali. My mom has always wanted me to do something in the language. This felt like the perfect opportunity to honour that wish. I'm really looking forward to connecting with my Keralite roots on the show.' In fact, Gizele even grew up watching Mohanlal's films and has watched the previous season of Bigg Boss Malayalam for him. 'I've grown up watching Mohanlal's films. He's truly a legendary actor, and his screen presence has always been inspiring. I watched the last season as well, and I feel he brings a wonderful sense of calm and wisdom to the show. He's a patient and supportive host who genuinely guides the contestants rather than just presenting the show. I'm really looking forward to experiencing his energy and mentorship this season, too,' she rounds off.

Royal Family "Reluctant" To Reconcile With Meghan Markle, Palace Insider Reveals Why
A recent report claims that the British royal family is hesitant to reconcile with Meghan Markle, despite being open to talks with Prince Harry. After Harry's aides met with King Charles' team, insiders revealed that trust issues remain the main obstacle in the royal feud, with Meghan reportedly at the centre of the problem. "They just don't trust her," a source told the Daily Express. The source added that the royals are wary of conversations with Meghan being used as material for her projects, such as her Instagram, cooking show, podcast, or interviews. According to the report, Prince Harry may travel to and from the UK alone, without his wife or their children, Archie and Lilibet. Notably, the Sussexes have been in a public feud with the Windsors since stepping back from royal duties in 2020 and relocating to the US. Their departure was followed by high-profile projects, including a six-part Netflix documentary, a revealing Oprah Winfrey interview, and Harry's memoir, 'Spare.' The memoir, released in 2023, became the fastest-selling nonfiction book ever, with Harry openly detailing the family conflicts within the royal family. The memoir also reveals Harry's strained relationships with his father and brother, Prince William, and how his marriage to Markle led him to fully step away from royal life. Since then, they have made only a few visits to the UK. However, recently, Prince Harry has expressed a genuine desire to reconcile, offering to share his schedule with the royal family for full transparency. "I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point continuing to fight anymore; life is precious," he told the BBC in May. Meanwhile, another royal insider claims Prince Harry's chances of regaining the Royal Family's trust are slim after sharing intimate details in his memoir. The insider claims that the family now hesitates to confide in him, fearing he'll reveal more personal stories in a a second autobiography.
