Actress Yuvika Chaudhary and Prince Narula became parents of a daughter in 2024. The duo welcomed their first child through IVF, after six years of marriage, in 2018. The actress recently talked about the difficulties she faced while conceiving. Yuvika further opened up about the emotional and physical turmoil she went through during her IVF journey. She also credited her husband, Prince and parents’ support during the process. Here is what the actress shared about her journey to motherhood.
In an interview with Nayandeep Rakshit for his podcast, Yuvika shared that she had difficulties conceiving naturally because of their conflicting schedules. The actress said, “One of us was always travelling during my ovulation window. Even when we tried naturally, it just never aligned. I sometimes wondered if it was just nazar (the evil eye).”
She added, “I went to a doctor, and she scared me. She told me I couldn’t have babies — maybe she saw a business opportunity.” After this, Yuvika urged Prince to plan for child immediately.
As Yuvika began the egg freezing process, the actress was confronted with risks. She said, “They took my signature, saying that after anaesthesia, there’s no guarantee I’ll wake up fine. I was physically weak at the time, and Prince asked to cancel it. He told me, ‘You’re more important to me than having a child.’”
“The second doctor encouraged me to freeze my eggs and try for a baby. I told them — this will be my first and last try. The process involved numerous injections, but I was ready,” she added.
She mentioned that the IVF process worked in her favour in the very first attempt. Yuvika said, “He was crying. I was numb. It was one of the happiest moments of our lives.” She also added, “My family stood by me like a rock. I’m truly blessed.”
Yuvika Chaudhary and Prince Narula met on the popular reality show Bigg Boss season 9 as contestants. The duo dated for a few years before they tied the knot in 2018. Yuvika is known for her work in Om Shanti Om, Maleyali Jotheyali, Naughty @ 40, S.P. Chauhan, Toh Baat Pakki and Summer 2007 to name a few. Whereas, Prince Narula is known for his work in MTV Roadies and Splitsvilla.
