Her husband Prince Narula is also in the video getting a haircut. Her comment has drawn a lot of backlash on Twitter and #ArrestYuvikaChoudhary has been trending on number 2 on the site.

Here is how users on Twitter reacted to the clip:

Yuvika Choudhary has also issues an apology after being criticised online, saying that she "didn't know the meaning" of the word.

Bahujan activists are calling for more awareness about these issues on Twitter. They claim that mere apologies are not enough and hiding behind the "I was not aware" excuse is not valid anymore. Educating oneself about issues related to caste is imperative in uplifting the marginalised in the country.
