Yuvika Chaudhary reveals doctor told her ‘you can't have babies', panicked actor told husband Prince Narula to plan baby ‘right now'
Actor Yuvika Chaudhary and Prince Narula had their first child together, baby girl Ekleen, in October last year. However, the process was challenging for her as she underwent egg freezing for three years before successfully conceiving through IVF in the first trial. During a recent interview with Nayandeep Rakshith, Yuvika opened up about the difficulties and spoke about the moment the couple got blessed as parents. Prince and Yuvika, who got married in 2018, embraced parenthood after seven years of marriage. When asked if there was any pressure from either of the families, she replied, 'My parents never pressurised us. They just wanted us to have a child, whenever we want. But now, they all want us to have have one more kid. More than anyone else, Prince says that there should be one sibling.' The Om Shanti Om actor was initially unaware about the process of In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF). 'I didn't know what IVF was, got to know about it in someone's interview. Either it was lack of knowledge or I never took interest in this part of life. While I was exploring my options to freeze eggs, I visited a doctor and she scared me and said, 'You can't have babies'. She must have thought that she can make some business from me,' she revealed. ALSO READ | Yuvika Chaudhary made a mess of her 'Ek chutki sindoor' dialogue in Om Shanti Om, but didn't get scolded by Farah Khan: 'Sabko daant padti thi' Yuvika further added, 'I panicked and asked Prince to plan a child right now, I thought my cycle is late. I started the egg freezing process and they took signatures that after anesthesia, we don't take guarantee if you will wake up normal or not. Because I was weak, Prince asked to cancel, he said I am more important to him than having a baby.' The duo then decided to change their doctor. 'We switched doctors and she boosted my confidence to try for a baby and get my eggs frozen. I told my doctor that this is my first and last trial. They put so many injections during this process. I would try naturally as well, but maybe it was a nazar thing that whenever it was our ovulation period, one of us had to travel,' she shared. Everything went by smoothly and Yuvika's first IVF trial was successful. 'My first IVF trial worked for me. When the doctor transferred my embryo, I looked at her, hugged her, and said, 'Congratulations, I will be pregnant'. She was nervous, but I was confident, I had faith. I got to know within a week that I am pregnant. She asked me to go on bed rest, but I was making reels with Prince, we didn't know that I was pregnant,' she said. 'Home test didn't have anything twice, but the blood test revealed that I was pregnant. Prince got the result news first and he revealed it to me. He said, 'We are pregnant', with tears in his eyes. I couldn't believe, I was numb. We told our parents immediately, we both were crying,' the actor concluded.

Telangana shocker: Woman loses twins due to botched delivery by nurses on doctor's 'video call' instructions
In a shocking incident of medical negligence, a woman lost her unborn twins due to an allegedly botched delivery procedure. The incident took place in the Rangareddy district of Telangana on Sunday. The woman, identified as 26-year-old Butti Keerthi, a resident of Eliminedu village in Rangareddy, had conceived twins after seven years of marriage. She had conceived through In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) five months back and was under the care of Dr Anusha Reddy. According to a Times of India report, Butti Keerthi lost her unborn twins after nurses administered her an injection on the instructions of the doctor on a video call. On the morning of May 4, Keerthi experienced unbearable pain and was rushed to Vijaya Laxmi Hospital in Ibrahimpatnam in the district. Dr Anusha Reddy, who was not present at the moment, decided to treat the woman over the phone after being informed by the hospital staff. The doctor instructed nurses to administer an injection to control Keerthi's pain. Unfortunately, the injection failed to control the pain and also ruptured her stitches. "I had an ache in my abdomen. Over the phone, they asked me to take an injection. I was worried, so we came to the hospital within half an hour. The doctor advised the nurses over the phone and they started the treatment on her instructions. The nurse checked me twice. I started bleeding. It is only after my babies came out that the doctor arrived. She said the babies had died. The doctor didn't check me at all," a heartbroken Keerthi said, according to a report by NDTV. B Venkateswar Rao, District Medical and Health Officer for Rangareddy district, said Keerthi is safe and "it was extremely unprofessional of the doctor to let the nurses perform the complex procedure. We will conduct a thorough inquiry and submit our report to the police and higher authorities," according to a Times of India report. An FIR has been registered against the private hospital for medical negligence in the matter. "We have registered a case under section 106(1), read with section 3(5) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which pertains to medical negligence. We will initiate an action based on the district medical and health officer's (DMHO) report," said Ibrahimpatnam police station SHO I. Jagadeesh, according to the ToI report. The state health department officials have also sealed the hospital. First Published: 6 May 2025, 05:40 PM IST
