Yuvika Chaudhary: Prince and I have only got closer

Yuvika Chaudhary is enjoying motherhood and says it has brought about a lot of positive changes in her life. The actress and her husband, Prince Narula welcomed their baby girl Ikleen in October 2024. She says, “Becoming a mother is a gift, but it does alter your life... there are sleepless nights and added responsibilities. The body goes through changes, which you don’t understand initially, but gradually you come to terms with it. The body and mind take time to heal, but when I see my baby smile, I forget about everything. Motherhood has brought me happiness and made me feel complete.”

‘I want to get back to work soon’The actress, who was last seen on TV in Laal Ishq and Kumkum Bhagya, was also doing web shows before her pregnancy. Ask her if she plans to return to work soon, and Yuvika shares, “I am working on getting back in shape, and I want to take up some good roles, no matter what the medium.” She adds, “I had my baby through IVF, so I had to give a lot of time initially to the entire process, which is why I had slowed down on the work front. Later, I wanted to focus on my child. But now, I am ready to get back as I know I can balance both.”

‘I didn’t feel the need to explain things to people’There were rumours of trouble in her marriage, but Yuvika says all is well between Prince and her. “This is a new journey for both of us. I didn’t react to rumours back then. Prince is very emotional and the rumours affected him, but sometimes I feel there is no need to clarify things. At one point, when I said Prince was busy, I meant he was busy with work. Then people started saying that I was living at my mother’s house, but that was because there was construction work going on in my house. I didn’t feel the need to explain things to people,” she says.

The couple completed six years of marriage last October. Reflecting on their journey, Yuvika says, “Every phase is different, from being friends to dating, getting married and now becoming parents. We have seen some fun days and some tough days. But as we keep moving forward, we realise that it has been an uplifting journey and only brought us closer.”
