Netizens Demand Yuvika Chaudhary's Arrest
Updated : May 25, 2021 06:40 PM ISTTarak Mehta Ka Oolta Chashma actress Munmun Dutt recently courted controversy and widespread backlash on social media for using a casteist slur in her YouTube video. While the television actress was booked for the offence as the controversy ragged on, actress Yuvika Chaudhary is now facing trouble for the same offense.
‘Arrest Yuvika Cahudhary’ gained huge momentum as a trend on social media after she was seen in a video, also featuring her husband Prince Narula, using the same casteist word as MunMun Dutt in a home video posted on YouTube.
The video shows Yuvika making the video while Prince was in the middle of a grooming session. The actress can be heard talking about why she doesn’t dress up while shooting these videos.

There were many who weren’t satisfied with her apology and did reply to Youvika expressing the same. No action on the part of the authorities has been initiated despite the social media backlash
