Where and when did Yuvika Chaudhary say?

In her YouTube vlog, that has surfaced on Twitter, Yuvika Chaudhary is seen talking about her appearance in her conversation with Prince Narula. She said, “Why do I always dress like a bhangi when I am shooting vlogs?” The video also shows Yuvika’s husband and actor Prince Narula in the midst of a grooming session, where she cribs on her looks.
