After Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actress Munmun Dutta, TV actress Yuvika Choudhary has found herself amidst hate comments on social media for using 'casteist slur' in a recent video featuring husband Prince Narula.
In a vlog posted by her, the actor had used the term 'bhangi' (a member of one of the lowest untouchable castes traditionally assigned to sweepers) by saying 'she looks like them' which did not go well with people on the Internet. Soon after 'Arrest Yuvika Choudhary' started trending on Twitter and people slammed the actor mercilessly. However, Yuvika took to her Instagram story and issued an apology stating she didn't know the meaning.
Now she'll say she didn't know the meaning. Alright. This is how our industry is! Not shocked but disappointed. She is literate but as illiterate #ArrestYuvikaChoudhary #Casteist_Termite #munmunduttavideo @yuvikachoudhary pic.twitter.com/4S7JDlTJjK

While apologizing, Yuvika stated, "Hi guys, I didn't know the meaning of that word that I used in my last vlog. I didn't mean to hurt anyone and I can never do that to hurt someone. I apologize to each and everyone, I hope you understand. Love you all."
However, even her apology could not get things back to normal as it didn't go well with the netizens and they still demanded her arrest. One of the users tweeted, "We don't want your apology. Yuvika Chaudhary, you have committed an offence under section 153A of IPC which is a cognizable & non-bailable offence & for which you must be and will be arrested. #ArrestYuvikaChoudhary."

Earlier, Munmun had landed in legal trouble for using the same casteist slur in a now-deleted video on YouTube.
