Further, trying to justify his stand on the incident, the Roadies judge said, “There are many things where people need to take action on and this issue was very small as she was not aware of the word and its meaning. She was not aware of the fact that the word she used is referred to any specific cast because we do not believe in the caste system. I am Punjabi and she is jat. And if things would have been different, we would not have been married in the first instance.”

Adding, Prince spoke about how Yuvika even apologized for her mistake and made it clear about her intentions. Yuvika Chaudhary had allegedly used a casteist slur in the latest video of her YouTube channel which featured her husband, Prince Narula.
