## Early life and start in television
Chaudhary was born in Baraut, Uttar Pradesh, and raised there in a middle-class family; she did her early schooling at Lakshay Public School in Baghpat.[2](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2768910/bio/) • [4](https://hindi.starsunfolded.com/yuvika-chaudhary-hindi/) Her public entry into the industry came through the talent hunt reality show *Cinestars Ki Khoj* in 2004.[3](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/television/the-50-contestant-yuvika-chaudhary-on-doing-show-with-prince-narula-as-their-marriage-hits-a-rough-patch-a-new-phase-of-life-10495543/) A Hindi-language profile also credits her with a small role opposite [Shah Rukh Khan](https://www.edgepedia.org/shah-rukh-khan) in the 2000 Bollywood film *Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani*, before her television career began.[4](https://hindi.starsunfolded.com/yuvika-chaudhary-hindi/)
She is a trained [Bharatanatyam](https://www.edgepedia.org/bharatanatyam) dancer.[4](https://hindi.starsunfolded.com/yuvika-chaudhary-hindi/)
## Film career
**Breakthrough.** The role that changed her career, in her own telling and in press profiles, was a cameo opposite Shah Rukh Khan in [Farah Khan](https://www.edgepedia.org/farah-khan)'s *[Om Shanti Om](https://www.edgepedia.org/om-shanti-om)* (2007), in which she played Dolly.[1](https://www.imdb.com/seen/nm2768910/) • [3](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/television/the-50-contestant-yuvika-chaudhary-on-doing-show-with-prince-narula-as-their-marriage-hits-a-rough-patch-a-new-phase-of-life-10495543/) She followed it with supporting and lead parts across Hindi, Kannada, and [Punjabi cinema](https://www.edgepedia.org/punjabi-cinema): *Summer 2007* (2008), *Maleyali Jotheyali* (2009, Kannada), *Toh Baat Pakki* (2010), *Naughty @ 40* (2011), *Cigarette Ki Tarah* (2012), *Daddy Cool Munde Fool* (2013, Punjabi), *The Shaukeens* (2014), *Veerey Ki Wedding* (2018), *S P Chauhan* (2019), *Sab Kushal Mangal* (2020), and *The Power* (2021).[5](https://www.indianfilmhistory.com/actress/yuvika-chaudhary) • [9](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/yuvika_chaudhary) In *Toh Baat Pakki* she played the younger sister of Tabu's character, a girl-next-door role in a romantic comedy.[10](https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/2009/Sep/15/%E2%80%9Ci-cannot-afford-to-be-choosy%E2%80%9D-%E2%80%93yuvika-chaudhary-86581.html)
In a 2022 interview she described the film phase of her career as uneven: after *Om Shanti Om* she made, by her count, 17 to 18 films, but without industry guidance she signed projects she later regretted, and she passed on some large-banner offers for the same reason.[8](https://www.freepressjournal.in/amp/entertainment/left-good-big-banner-projects-because-of-no-guidance-yuvika-chaudhary-opens-up-on-her-journey) She also said she set personal boundaries on screen, declining kissing scenes or skin display.[8](https://www.freepressjournal.in/amp/entertainment/left-good-big-banner-projects-because-of-no-guidance-yuvika-chaudhary-opens-up-on-her-journey)
## Television and reality shows
Chaudhary's television work includes the serial *Astitva...Ek Prem Kahani*, *Dafa 420*, *Kumkum Bhagya*, *Darr Sabko Lagta Hai*, *Amma*, and *Laal Ishq*.[5](https://www.indianfilmhistory.com/actress/yuvika-chaudhary) • [4](https://hindi.starsunfolded.com/yuvika-chaudhary-hindi/) Her reality television record is extensive: *India's Best Cinestars Ki Khoj* (2004), *Bigg Boss 9* (2015), *MTV Splitsvilla 10* (2017), *Comedy Classes*, *MTV Ace of Space* (seasons 1 and 2), and *Nach Baliye 9* (2019), which she won with Prince Narula.[5](https://www.indianfilmhistory.com/actress/yuvika-chaudhary) • [6](https://matlabinews.com/2026/03/yuvika-chaudhary-biography-age-wiki-husband-web-series-list-net-worth-2026/)
**Bigg Boss 9 and Prince Narula.** *Bigg Boss 9* (2015) was the turning point in her public life: she met Prince Narula, the season's winner, in the house, and the two married on 12 October 2018.[3](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/television/the-50-contestant-yuvika-chaudhary-on-doing-show-with-prince-narula-as-their-marriage-hits-a-rough-patch-a-new-phase-of-life-10495543/) • [7](https://www.nationpress.com/entertainment/yuvika-chaudhary-joins-prince-narula-on-bharti-singh-haarshs-indian-game-show-came-only-because-of-prince) The couple has since appeared together repeatedly, including the music video "Main Tera Hi Rahunga" (2021).[1](https://www.imdb.com/seen/nm2768910/)
## Web series and recent work
Chaudhary moved into streaming with the [MX Player](https://www.edgepedia.org/mx-player) romantic series *[Roohaniyat](https://www.edgepedia.org/roohaniyat)* (2022), in which she starred opposite [Arjun Bijlani](https://www.edgepedia.org/arjun-bijlani); she said the shorter, crisper format of web shows suited her better than long-running television serials.[8](https://www.freepressjournal.in/amp/entertainment/left-good-big-banner-projects-because-of-no-guidance-yuvika-chaudhary-opens-up-on-her-journey) She also appeared in the series *Honeymoon Suite Room No 911* (2023) as Ragini.[1](https://www.imdb.com/seen/nm2768910/)
**The 50 (2026).** In early 2026 she returned to reality television on *The 50*, a JioHotstar captive-format show in which 50 celebrities survive a month of physical tasks, competing alongside her husband.[3](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/television/the-50-contestant-yuvika-chaudhary-on-doing-show-with-prince-narula-as-their-marriage-hits-a-rough-patch-a-new-phase-of-life-10495543/) The show marked her first screen work since *Nach Baliye 9* in 2019.[3](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/television/the-50-contestant-yuvika-chaudhary-on-doing-show-with-prince-narula-as-their-marriage-hits-a-rough-patch-a-new-phase-of-life-10495543/) She said she joined because of the short one-month commitment and the chance to play for fans, with the prize money going to one of them.[11](https://www.indiatoday.in/amp/entertainment/television/story/yuvika-chaudhary-prince-narula-the-50-reality-show-motherhood-challenges-2866535-2026-02-11) She also spoke publicly about the difficulty of leaving her infant daughter with grandparents for the month, and about dealing with postpartum recovery while under public scrutiny.[3](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/television/the-50-contestant-yuvika-chaudhary-on-doing-show-with-prince-narula-as-their-marriage-hits-a-rough-patch-a-new-phase-of-life-10495543/) Ahead of the show, she told IANS that she and Prince were "strong-headed" individuals who would play their own games and that viewers would see their real relationship rather than a managed image.[12](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/the-50-contestant-yuvika-chaudhary-says-prince-narula-and-i-are-strong-individuals-with-our-own-viewpoints/articleshow/127557116.cms)
## Personal life
Chaudhary and Prince Narula welcomed their daughter Ekleen in October 2024, conceived through IVF, a journey the couple documented publicly.[7](https://www.nationpress.com/entertainment/yuvika-chaudhary-joins-prince-narula-on-bharti-singh-haarshs-indian-game-show-came-only-because-of-prince) • [6](https://matlabinews.com/2026/03/yuvika-chaudhary-biography-age-wiki-husband-web-series-list-net-worth-2026/) In 2026 the couple faced and publicly addressed separation rumors; Prince Narula said a line taken out of context from one of their vlogs had sparked the divorce speculation.[13](https://www.ndtv.com/topic/yuvika) Besides acting, Chaudhary has worked as a content creator on YouTube.[3](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/television/the-50-contestant-yuvika-chaudhary-on-doing-show-with-prince-narula-as-their-marriage-hits-a-rough-patch-a-new-phase-of-life-10495543/)
