February 23, 2026

Mumbai: Actress Riya Munjal, who is receiving praise for her role in Lakshmi Niwas, recently shared a personal experience from her college days when she stood up against eve-teasers.

The show is currently focusing on Bhoomika and Raj Bundela’s storyline. Bhoomika, the youngest daughter of Srinivas and Lakshmi, finds her life taking an unexpected turn when millionaire Raj Bundela proposes marriage on the very first day of meeting her.

Bhoomika’s Emotional Journey

While Raj gradually wins over Bhoomika’s family with his support during tough times, Bhoomika herself struggles internally. She is shown balancing family expectations, her own feelings, and finding the courage to express herself.

Her character is lively and emotional but also strong when it comes to self-respect and making important decisions.

Real-Life Incident From College

Speaking about her personal experience, Riya shared that during her college days, she often witnessed eve-teasing while travelling to and from campus.

She said she could never ignore such situations and always felt the need to speak up, whether it was for herself or her friends. Though she later thought about the risks involved, at that moment, she believed it was important to stand her ground.

Strength and Self-Respect

Riya said this real-life strength is what connects her deeply with Bhoomika’s character. She believes every girl has the instinct to stand up for herself, but sometimes it takes courage to act on it.

Lakshmi Niwas airs on Zee TV.
