Zee TV’s family drama Lakshmi Niwas continues to keep audiences hooked with its emotional storytelling and layered characters. While the show largely revolves around the aspirations and relationships within a middle-class family, the character of Raj Bundela, played by Priom Dev Gujjar, has stood out as the charming and seemingly perfect partner to Bhoomika, played by actress Riya Munjal.
Introduced as a wealthy businessman with a calm demeanor and a deeply caring nature, Raj has so far come across as the ideal “green flag”, someone who loves Bhoomika wholeheartedly and goes out of his way to make her happy. However, as the story progresses, viewers witness a surprising shift in Raj’s personality. What initially appears to be pure love slowly begins to reveal shades of obsession and possessiveness, bringing a dramatic twist to the narrative and adding new layers to his character.
Surprisingly, Priom shared that the intense cockroach scene he recently shot was actually the very scene he had performed during his audition. Speaking about the moment, the actor shared, “Interestingly, the scene I recently shot for the show is actually the same one I performed during my audition for Lakshmi Niwas. When I first read it, I remember thinking how intense and unusual it was. In the scene, Raj sees a cockroach on Bhoomika and reacts in a very extreme way; he kills it and even eats it just to show her that nothing can harm her while he’s around. It may sound bizarre, but that moment really captures the obsessive and unpredictable side of Raj’s love for Bhoomika. Until now, audiences have seen him as the perfect partner, but this scene reveals the darker layers of his personality and how far he can go when it comes to protecting her.”
As Raj’s behaviour begins to take a more unpredictable turn, audiences can expect major twists that will challenge everything they believed about his character and his relationship with Bhoomika.
