Prince Narula – Yuvika Chaudhary
Lovebirds Prince Narula and Yuvika began trending once again as he got his lady love’s name inked on the nape of his neck. The tattoo will remind you of the one that Deepika Padukone has. The couple got engaged some time back and are due to marry this winter. They became friends from Bigg Boss 9 and gradually fell in love. Talking about his dramatic proposal, Yuvika had earlier told Bollywood Life, “You won’t believe but we were fighting like mad until yesterday. I had no clue he was secretly planning to propose to me because he was behaving so weird in the past few days. He was arguing on silly things, initiating random fights. It was only after Prince proposed to me in front of both our parents at Taj(Mumbai) last night is when I realised that okay, he has involved everyone to make this proposal the most memorable one for me.” (Also Read: INKED!
