Yuvika Chaudhary Reacts To Prince Narula's Dating Rumours During Bigg Boss 9
Last Updated: Yuvika Chaudhary reflected on how perceptions can often be deceptive and shared why she chose to look beyond these rumours and trust her relationship. Prince Narula and Yuvika Chaudhary's love story began in the Bigg Boss 9 house. While the audience cheered on them, Prince's bond with another participant, Nora Fatehi, created a wave of dating rumours. In the latest, Yuvika spoke out about these speculations related to her husband. In a candid interview, she reflected on how perceptions can often be deceptive and shared why she chose to look beyond these rumours and trust her relationship. In a conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Yuvika shared how she navigated those rumours before choosing to build a life with Prince. Yuvika said, 'When you see someone on screen, you only see what they want to show you. But when you meet that person in real life, you realise they're so much better than that. Also, nobody is perfect. What you feel for someone in person is something no screen can ever replicate. It's like friendship, only when you live with someone do you really get to know them." According to Yuvika, the society often rushes to pass judgment without knowing the full story. But she didn't judge Prince as she saw a hardworking man 'who wears his heart on his sleeve." 'If he's angry, he shows it. If he loves, he does it wholeheartedly. It's part of who he is," she added. Yuvika went on to say that she liked a partner who has lived his life before committing. She always believed that anybody she would marry must have lived freely, experienced things, made errors, travelled and met people. As being constrained too early makes a person look for freedom. She also joked that they started off as buddies, having open chats and even teasing him about his girlfriends. That connection developed naturally, and none of them anticipated that it would lead to marriage. She added, 'I told him: fly, as far as your wings can take you. That way, when you settle, you'll be at peace. Prince has flown, and I'm fully aware of that journey." Yuvika Chaudhary is balancing parenthood with ongoing film and television endeavours, while Prince Narula recently appeared as a gang boss on MTV Roadies Double Cross. First Published:

Yuvika Chaudhary REACTS to Prince Narula's link up rumours with Nora Fatehi during Bigg Boss 9: 'When you're young, working, and single...'
Yuvika Chaudhary addressed rumors linking Prince Narula to Nora Fatehi during Bigg Boss 9, emphasizing the difference between on-screen perceptions and real-life understanding. She values Prince's emotional honesty and acknowledges his past experiences, believing it fosters a stronger, more relaxed relationship. Yuvika appreciates that Prince has lived fully, ensuring no future regrets, and cherishes their friendship-turned-marriage built on open communication. Yuvika Chaudhary opened up about the swirling rumours linking her husband, Prince Narula, to actress Nora Fatehi during their Bigg Boss 9 days. In a candid conversation, she reflected on how perceptions can often be misleading and shares her honest take on love, trust, and understanding beyond the camera's lens. When asked about handling the rumours before marrying the Roadies actor, Yuvika told Bollywood Bubble that people often only see what someone chooses to show on screen. However, meeting the person in real life reveals a much deeper and better side. She acknowledged that nobody is perfect, and true understanding comes from personal experiences, which can never be fully captured on screen. She compared it to friendship—only by spending time with someone do you truly get to know them. She mentioned that in today's world, people often judge others without really knowing them. However, she chose not to judge Prince and instead saw him as a hardworking person who is open with his emotions—whether it's anger or love, he expresses it fully. While this can lead to challenges, she accepted it as part of his true personality and felt she understood the kind of person he really is. Yuvika further shared that initially, she felt the need to appear a certain way on screen, dealing with rumors and link-ups. But over time, she realized that when you're young, working, and single, it's your own life to live. It's only when you're with someone that you truly see their loyalty and real character. She wanted a partner who had experienced life fully, so there would be no regrets later. She believes that when people feel restricted, they crave freedom even more. So, she wants her partner to have the freedom to explore and grow, feeling relaxed in personal life. She knows he has traveled a lot and lived fully, and she's aware of his journey. She also joked that they started out as friends, sharing open conversations where she even teased him about his girlfriends. That connection grew naturally, and neither of them expected it would lead to marriage. Check out our list of the latest Hindi , English , Tamil , Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada movies .
