Earlier this year, Yuvika Chaudhary had shot a video with her husband, Prince Narula. To describe how bad she looked, Yuvika had used a casteist slur. Soon after the video went viral, netizens started slamming her. Yuvika soon deleted the video and issued an apology. Her husband, actor Prince Narula, who was shooting the video also made videos defending the actress.

Yuvika was booked by the Haryana Police in May following a complaint by a Dalit rights activist Rajat Kalsan.  He registered a complaint against her for making some derogatory and objectionable remarks about the Scheduled Caste community in the video.
