Lakshmi Niwas Twist | Priom Dev Gujjar On Cockroach Scene That Shows Raj’s Obsessive Love: May Sound Bizarre

Priom Dev Gujjar has recalled a striking cockroach sequence from Zee TV’s family drama Lakshmi Niwas, which exposes Raj Bundela’s obsessive love for Bhoomika. The scene shows Raj crossing extreme limits to protect Bhoomika, sharply shifting audience's perception of a character once viewed as a calm, ideal partner.

Until this track, viewers have mostly seen Raj Bundela, a millionaire businessman, behaving composedly and treating Bhoomika, played by Riya Munjal, with care and respect. Raj has appeared as a supportive “green flag” figure, deeply devoted and focused on Bhoomika’s happiness, set against the show’s middle-class family backdrop.

Priom Dev Gujjar and Lakshmi Niwas: the cockroach scene and obsessive love

Priom Dev Gujjar revealed that the now-talked-about cockroach moment was not new for Lakshmi Niwas. The same scene had already tested Priom Dev Gujjar during the audition phase. The actor explained that the script immediately stood out because of its unusual intensity and the unpredictable emotions it demanded.

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."

Raj Bundela in Lakshmi Niwas: changing emotions, Priom Dev Gujjar performance

The cockroach scene marks a clear turning point for Raj Bundela in Lakshmi Niwas. What once looked like pure, genuine affection now edges into obsession. As this behaviour grows more erratic, the storyline signals that Raj’s possessiveness may disrupt the bond with Bhoomika and unsettle the wider family dynamics.

The makers of Lakshmi Niwas continue to frame the narrative within everyday middle-class ambitions and relationships, while using Raj and Bhoomika’s journey as an emotional anchor. With Raj’s darker traits now visible, upcoming episodes are set to test how much the audience trusts Raj’s intentions and the strength of Bhoomika’s relationship with Raj.

The shift in Raj Bundela’s portrayal, highlighted by Priom Dev Gujjar’s recollection of the cockroach sequence, underlines a new phase for Lakshmi Niwas. Viewers who once saw Raj as flawless now face a more complex character, with future twists likely to challenge earlier assumptions about love, protection and control in this relationship.
