Reality television icon Prince Narula found himself at the centre of a social media storm on Monday, January 8, after a video purportedly showing his arrest by police officials went viral. The footage, which spread rapidly across platforms, left fans concerned and sparked widespread speculation about the Roadies winner's circumstances.
Clarification from the Star: It Was a Shoot
Breaking his silence on the swirling rumours, Prince Narula has firmly denied any arrest. Speaking to the publication TellyChakkar, the actor set the record straight. He clarified that the controversial video was not a real police encounter but was filmed as part of a brand promotion. "It was a part of a brand shoot. I’m not arrested," Prince stated, putting an end to the false reports.
The video, which began circulating in the morning of January 8, showed Narula being escorted by individuals in what appeared to be police attire. This led to initial reports on social media claiming he had been detained by the Delhi Police, causing significant shock among his fanbase.
Prince Narula's Career and Past Controversies
Currently, Prince Narula is taking a step back from television screens to focus intently on his singing career. The multi-talented winner of shows like Roadies, Splitsvilla, and Bigg Boss has previously delivered popular music and is now dedicating his efforts to new projects in the music industry.
This incident is not the first time Prince has been embroiled in controversy. He made headlines in mid-2026 for his intense rivalry with fellow YouTuber and reality star Elvish Yadav during their time on Roadies. Their relationship featured several public disputes and verbal exchanges. Notably, they had a major, public confrontation during the Roadies XX finale in mid-2025.
Interestingly, their relationship wasn't always contentious. When the show commenced, the duo got along well and even collaborated on a music video. However, following their fallout, Prince took the step of blurring his face in that same music video, highlighting the depth of their discord.
Professional Journey and Recent Appearances
On the professional front, Prince Narula remains a sensation in the Indian reality TV space, having conquered multiple major shows. Beyond reality TV, he has also acted in television series such as Badho Bahu. More recently, he was in the news during the grand finale of the show Lock Upp, where he mentioned that fellow contestant Karan Kundrra was aware that Prince himself was not a participant in that season.
This latest episode of the viral 'arrest' video underscores the speed at which misinformation can spread in the digital age, even concerning high-profile celebrities. Prince's prompt clarification has helped quell the rumours, redirecting attention back to his ongoing creative pursuits in music.
