Started Dating On Bigg Boss, Now Married, Actress Blames 'Buri Nazar' For Rough Patch In Relationship
Reality television often serves as an unexpected backdrop for budding romances, and for actress Yuvika Chaudhary and Prince Narula, Bigg Boss season 9 was where their love story began. The couple, who tied the knot on October 12, 2018, have been under public scrutiny, especially after welcoming their first child, a daughter named Ekleen, in October 2024. Recently, Yuvika opened up about a difficult phase in their marriage, attributing it to "buri nazar," or the evil eye.
Rumors of trouble in their marriage began circulating shortly after the birth of their daughter. Yuvika's absence from Prince's birthday celebration fueled speculation, and fans believed Prince's cryptic Instagram post hinted at marital discord. The post read, “Some people become truthful by lying in vlogs, and some people are proven wrong by staying silent”.
Yuvika addressed these rumors in a vlog by Sunita Ahuja, wife of actor Govinda. In the vlog, Yuvika accompanied Sunita to a temple, where they discussed the negative impact of "nazar" on various aspects of life. Sunita shared her belief that some family members and outsiders harbor ill intentions, saying, "I get to know who has an evil eye or does black magic on me, my kids, or my family. I get that intuition always... it's often the family who has an evil eye when he listens to his wife and kids. I always blame my family because they cannot see others happy”.
Sunita then directly inquired about the issues in Yuvika's marriage. Yuvika responded, “It was an evil eye. When you come into people's eyes so much, your energy changes”. She explained that she coped with the difficult period by turning to spirituality and focusing on self-love, which helped her overcome the problems. Sunita reassured her that such phases are inevitable, stating, “It's all a phase. No one can stop what is destined to happen. Whoever tries to break a home, god will punish them, and we will see them”.
The concept of "buri nazar" is deeply rooted in South Asian culture, where it is believed that envious or malicious gazes can bring misfortune. While some dismiss it as superstition, others, like Yuvika, believe it can significantly impact one's life and relationships.
Yuvika and Prince's relationship isn't the only one to emerge from the Bigg Boss house. The reality show, known for its drama and emotional intensity, has been the starting point for several other couples who eventually tied the knot. However, not all Bigg Boss romances have a happy ending. One of the earliest weddings on the show was between Sara Khan and Ali Merchant during Bigg Boss 4, but their marriage ended just two months later.
Currently, in Bigg Boss 19, the rumored influencer couple Awez Darbar and Nagma Mirajkar are also sparking relationship buzz. Awez hinted at wedding plans during a live session inside the Bigg Boss house, revealing that discussions about their future had taken place.
Whether it's the pressure of public attention, the intensity of the Bigg Boss environment, or, as Yuvika believes, the effect of "buri nazar," relationships that begin in the spotlight often face unique challenges. Yuvika and Prince's story serves as a reminder that even the most public romances can experience rough patches, and that faith, self-love, and support can be crucial in navigating these difficult times.
