Lakshmi Niwas actress Riya Munjal: “I Used To Confront Eve-Teasers In College”

Lakshmi Niwas is currently witnessing an engaging track centered around Bhoomika and Raj Bundela. Bhoomika, the youngest daughter of Srinivas and Lakshmi, played by Riya Munjal, finds herself at the heart of unexpected developments when millionaire Raj Bundela (played by Priom Gujjar) enters her life. Raj, immediately smitten with Bhoomika, takes the first step of proposing to her family on the very first day he meets her. His unswerving support for the family in times of need helps win their confidence, and Srinivas and the family seriously consider his proposal.

Bhoomika’s story is much more complex. A bubbly and full-of-life girl suddenly lands in a situation that she was not emotionally prepared for. As the story moves on, the audience gets to see her turmoil, torn between family needs, her own feelings, and the strength to voice them.

Interestingly, this emotional strength is something Riya Munjal deeply connects with in real life. Riya Munjal shared, “During my college days, travelling to and from campus, there were moments when I would witness eve-teasing or see someone behaving inappropriately, either towards my female friends or towards me. I’ve never been someone who could ignore such situations. My immediate instinct has always been about speaking up or confronting it, even if later, I would think about the risks involved. But at that moment, you just feel it’s important to stand your ground.”

She added, “That’s why I relate to Bhoomika so much. She may seem bubbly and emotional, but deep down, she has that strength. She might take time to process things, but when it comes to self-respect or standing up for what’s right, she doesn’t back down. I think every girl has that instinct within her; sometimes you just need the courage to act on it.”

With Bhoomika’s character slowly unfolding new shades, viewers can expect a powerful emotional arc that reflects the journey of many young women as they find their voices.
