Prince Narula and Yuvika Chaudhary recently won hearts with their chemistry and teamwork on The 50. While the couple impressed audiences with their performance on the reality show, being away from their daughter for nearly a month turned out to be the most emotionally difficult part of the experience.

In an exclusive conversation with mid-day, the couple opened up about staying locked inside the palace for 26 days and how much they missed their little one during the journey. Prince admitted that being separated from their daughter was incredibly hard for both of them.

"This was the most difficult thing for us. I was counting the days. When these 26 days will end and we will go and meet her," Prince shared emotionally. Recalling the moment the show wrapped, he added, "When my show ended at night, I ran away first to see her. We were counting every minute."

Yuvika agreed and revealed how both of them constantly spoke about reuniting with their daughter. Despite the distance, the couple felt grateful that their daughter handled the separation maturely. "But we are blessed to have her. How beautifully she managed," Prince added.

The actor further explained that their daughter found adorable ways to stay connected with them emotionally even while they were away. "She used to take our photo and talk to us. ‘Oh mom, dad,'" he revealed with a smile.

The conversation also turned lighter when the couple spoke about their daughter's bond with Prince. Yuvika laughed and shared, "And she loves his songs. She doesn't listen to anyone else's songs." Prince jokingly reacted, "She is a big fan." Yuvika then teased him by calling their daughter "your daddy's girl."

Apart from the emotional challenge of being away from family, the duo also reflected on returning to a reality show together after a long gap. Prince revealed that he mainly agreed to participate because he wanted Yuvika to experience the format with him once again.

Reflecting on their The 50 journey

"I did it for her basically. I wanted her to do a reality show again and with me because she didn't do it with me for a long time," he explained. Prince also said that before entering the competition, he encouraged Yuvika to focus on her own journey. "I said, ‘Baby, play your game. This is your journey. I am there for you.'"

However, Yuvika admitted that having Prince beside her gave her the confidence to survive the intense environment of the show. "I am blessed that he was with me in the show. Otherwise, I would have never survived. Reality shows are not easy," she confessed.

She further praised Prince for handling stressful situations calmly and said she often wondered how he managed the pressure. Prince responded by pointing out that viewers only witness a small portion of what contestants actually experience. "What it looks like, it is one certain time you guys see for one hour. We manage for 24 hours every day," he said.

Prince Narula and Yuvika Chaudhary were recently spotted at Phoenix Marketcity for Candy Safari with their little munchkin Ekleen.
