An FIR has been registered against former Bigg Boss contestant and actress Yuvika Chaudhary by Haryana Police for using a casteist slur in one of her vlogs.

This happened after Dalit rights activist Rajat Kalsan had filed a complaint against the actress for making derogatory remarks about the Scheduled Caste community.

Although, Yuvika had apologised saying that she didn't know the meaning of the word she used but the video is still up on her YouTube channel and is now going viral because of massive backlash.

Meanwhile, another FIR has been filed against Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actress Munmun Dutta in Mumbai for using a casteist slur in her video. Earlier, a complaint was filed in Indore under the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act.

Dutta in her apology said that she was unaware of the word used in her video because of the language barrier.
