There have been several reports regarding trouble in their relationship. Since their baby girl, Ikleen, was born, rumours are rife that things are not good between the two.

Yuvika Chaudhary reacts to divorce rumours While addressing the rumours and clarifying her ‘Prince is busy’ statement, Yuvika, in an interview with ETimes, shared, “This (parenthood) is a new journey for both of us. I didn’t react to rumours back then. Prince is very emotional, and the rumours affected him, but sometimes I feel there is no need to clarify things. At one point, when I said Prince was busy, I meant he was busy with work. Then people started saying that I was living at my mother’s house, but that was because there was construction work going on in my house. I didn’t feel the need to explain things to people." Further, while talking about how they have come closer, Yuvika continued and said, “Every phase is different, from being friends to dating, getting married, and now becoming parents. We have seen some fun days and some tough days. But as we keep moving forward, we realise that it has been an uplifting journey and has only brought us closer.” Siwet Tomar on rumours about Prince & Yuvika’s relationship Earlier, in a conversation with us, Siwet Tomar, a close friend of Prince, also clarified that all is good between the two and said, “As for the news circulating recently, I don’t think anything like that will ever happen between them.

Prince won the reality show and continued dating Yuvika. They tied the knot in 2018. In June this year, they announced their pregnancy and also held a grand baby shower in August.

05 March,2025 07:24 AM IST | Mumbai | The Hitlist TeamSudhanshu Pandey recently left Anupamaa, leading to speculations of a supposed rift between him and the show's main lead, Rupali Ganguly. Several speculations suggested that Rupali was the reason behind Sudhanshu's exit from the show in 2024. Now, Sudhanshu has reacted to all such reports and talked about his equation with Rupali Ganguly. In an interview with Screen, Sudhanshu opened up about his decision to announce his exit and shared, "The reason why I announced my exit on social media was because I felt responsible towards my audience. Those who were wondering where Vanraj had gone—I had to tell them that I was not going to be a part of the show. I didn’t want them to be later shocked or heartbroken. At least I told them personally, and they didn’t come to know from other sources." Sudhanshu Pandey on rift with Rupali Ganguly Further, while addressing reports of an alleged rift with Rupali Ganguly, Sudhanshu said, "Even though there are so many stories going around, whatever I said was my side of the story, and it was 100 percent the truth. Stories have nothing to do with reality, so don’t believe them. All is well; the four years have been fantastic. I will cherish being a part of Anupamaa all my life. The equation with Rupali is all okay. I was chatting with her recently. She messaged me about something on Instagram, and we were bickering about it. So it is all fine." Gaurav Khanna on rift with Rupali Ganguly Just after Sudhanshu left the show, another main lead of the serial, Gaurav Khanna, also quit, and similar reasons were stated for his exit. Gaurav, while reacting to the claims, shared, "I don’t engage in retaliatory interviews or respond to rumours. What matters is the work we’ve created together. I’ve always focused on my craft, and what happens beyond the ‘action’ and ‘cut’ is secondary." Paras had earlier said in an interview on Chuddy Buddy Season 2, "Some of my scenes were cut. I wanted my storyline to progress because it suddenly ended. And everyone knows who was behind that. The channel didn’t want to get involved in the process of the show, which was already performing well. It was like, if she had a problem doing scenes with a particular person, they would just remove that person. The channel wouldn’t question her. I don’t want to name that person, but everyone knew who it was."

01 March,2025 09:00 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentTelevision actor Aman Verma, who is known for hosting the show 'Khullja Sim Sim' is now making headlines after his wife Vandana Lalwani filed for divorce after 9 years of marriage. According to reports, the couple was unable to resolve their differences and therefore decided to pull the plug on their relationship. Aman Verma and Vandana Lalwani’s reason for divorce A source close to the couple informed ETimes, “There have been issues between them for a while now. Despite their efforts to resolve their differences, things didn’t improve. They even planned to start a family, but their differences became too deep to reconcile. It was Vandana who decided to file for divorce.” When Aman was reached out for a comment, he replied, “No comment. Anything I need to say will be communicated through my lawyer at the appropriate time.” Aman met Vandana in 2014 during the shoot of Hum Ne Li Hai – Shapath. They got engaged in 2015 and exchanged vows in 2016. In an earlier interview with the same portal, Aman spoke of his wedding stating, “Marriage has changed me as a person. I am calmer and do not see any situation with the aggression that I used to before. Also, for me, marriage was a big step because I lived alone for many years and had decided that if I do get married, it will only be when I find the right person. It has been six years now and I have no complaints, I am enjoying life with Vandana.” Aman Verma’s acting journey Aman made his acting debut with 'Pachpan Khambe Laal Deewarein' in 1993, and later appeared in 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi', and 'Kumkum - Ek Pyara Sa Bandhan'.

The actor, who was the target of a sting operation, had taken up 'Bigg Boss 9' as his comeback on the small screen. During his short stint in the house, Aman Verma maintained a low profile and was urged by host Salman Khan to come out of his shell.

The three take on goons in a high-octane fight sequence. Kaur says, “The sequence is a perfect mix of action and fun, where we not only got to fight, but also performed to a song to outsmart the goons. What excites me most is how this storyline highlights that women can take charge, stand up for themselves, and fight for their safety and rights. Personally, I have always believed in nari shakti, and this episode beautifully reinforces that.”
