Deepika Padukone made her debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in the 2007 blockbuster Om Shanti Om. While her career skyrocketed, not many remember another actress who also made her debut in the same film. Unlike Deepika, she could not leave a mark in Bollywood.
The actress is Yuvika Chaudhary. She also made her Bollywood debut with Om Shanti Om alongside Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan. (Credits: Instagram)
After appearing in Om Shanti Om, Yuvika appeared in films like Summer 2007, Toh Baat Pakki!, Naughty @ 40, Khap, Enemmy and others, but none of them made a significant mark at the box office. (Credits: Instagram)
She also had a role in the Akshay Kumar-led multi-starrer The Shaukeens, but that too failed to succeed commercially. (Credits: Instagram)
Yuvika later shifted her focus to Television. She participated in reality shows like India’s Best Cinestars Ki Khoj, Bigg Boss 9, MTV Splitsvilla 10, and Nach Baliye 9. (Credits: Instagram)
She won Nach Baliye, alongside her husband Prince Narula. (Credits: Instagram)
Yuvika was last seen in the 2022 TV show Cyber Vaar. (Credits: Instagram)
Recently, Yuvika also supported Deepika Padukone’s demand for 8-hour workdays. (Credits: Instagram)
Speaking to Hindi Rush, she said it is not easy to become a mother and then to work after becoming a mom is not at all easy. She loves work, that’s why she is willing to work. She deserves that much respect after she has worked for so many years.” (Credits: Instagram)
Yuvika added, “She is right, she should get that time. People should not be this ruthless. This journey is difficult, they should support.” (Credits: Instagram)
She also revealed that she herself had turned down good projects to prioritise her family. (Credits: Instagram)
