Theirs is a match made in heaven. Yuvika Chaudhary, who is all set to tie the knot with Prince Narula on October 12, believes that he came to Mumbai because he was destined to meet her. The couple will get married in Mumbai, with the pre-wedding functions — haldi, mehndi and sangeet — taking place on October 11 and 12. A reception will be held on October 21 in Prince's hometown, Chandigarh.

The bride-to-be, who is currently shopping for her big day, shares, “I have butterflies in my stomach. As the day is closing in, I am getting jitters. There is the pressure of organising everything properly and in time. It’s also an emotional time for me, as I am all set to embark on a new journey with Prince.”

Talking about arrangements, the actress had to get her wedding invite made in record time. Apparently, she was upset after a sample invite was leaked before she could give her nod to it. She says, “I was extremely upset when the first sample card was leaked before it could reach me. The team behind it must have done it for publicity, but that wasn’t fair. I would have liked to announce it myself. It was disheartening, but I managed to get a card of my liking designed on short notice. It is like a vanity case with a Ganpati idol and a photo frame in it. The idea is to use it for years to come, and it will serve as a memory of our wedding.” Talking about honeymoon, the actress says that is a surprise her 'Prince' charming has planned for her.

Think about it, and relationships that blossom on reality shows are often looked at with aspersions. There are many who believe that people fake love on national television to extend their stint on the show.

However, Yuvika and Prince have now silenced the sceptics with their marriage announcement. The actress says, “We were strangers inside the Bigg Boss house. While Prince developed a strong liking for me in the beginning of our stay, I wanted to take some time. We fell in love much after the show ended. I even told him inside the house that if he is trying to be pally with me for the ratings, I am the wrong girl. However, his feelings were genuine. He would often tell me that I should talk more, as he feared that I wouldn’t last for long on the show (laughs!). We are one of those few jodis whose love blossomed on the reality show. In fact, I was all set to fly off to New York for a course and changed my plans just a day prior to entering the house. Also, I had been declining their offer almost every season. I was taken by surprise when his mother came to my family with his rishta when he was still inside the house. So, in a way, Prince and I were destined to be together. I tell him jokingly that he came to Mumbai for me.”
