After Munmun Dutta, netizens have now slammed Yuvika Choudhary for using a casteist slur. In a vlog posted by her, the actor had used a term by saying 'she looks like them' which did not go well with people on the Internet. Soon after 'Arrest Yuvika Choudhary' started trending on Twitter and people slammed the actor left right and centre. However, Yuvika took to her Instagram story and issued an apology stating she didn't know the meaning.
While sharing the video, one of the tweeters wrote, "Now she'll say she didn't know the meaning. Alright. This is how our industry is! Not shocked but disappointed. She is literate but as illiterate #ArrestYuvikaChoudhary #Casteist_Termite #munmunduttavideo @yuvikachoudhary."

Her apology also didn't go well with the netizens and they still demanded her arrest. One of the users tweeted, "We don't want your apology. Yuvika Chaudhary, you have committed an offence under section 153A of IPC which is a cognizable & non-bailable offence & for which you must be and will be arrested. #ArrestYuvikaChoudhary."
