Akshita Mudgal 'would go home with swollen eyes' after shooting on 'Lakshmi Niwas' emotional track
Mumbai, June 26
Actress Akshita Mudgal, who essays the role of Radhika in the television show 'Lakshmi Niwas', has opened up on her recent experience of shooting an emotionally demanding track.
In recent episodes, audiences have witnessed one of the most turbulent phases in Radhika's life. From being questioned over her marriage to seeing her parents bear the brunt of society's taunts, Radhika found herself battling confusion, heartbreak, and circumstances she never imagined.
Talking about the same, Akshita Mudgal shared, "Radhika has always been someone who can endure anything herself, but the moment her parents are hurt or questioned because of her, that's when it really breaks her. She never did wrong to anyone, so to see her constantly facing taunts and blame was emotionally exhausting".
For Akshita Mudgal portraying these emotions was quite challenging. While Radhika is a strong-headed girl who believes in doing good and standing by what is right, the circumstances around her pushed her into a phase where she began questioning everything around her.
She further mentioned, "As an actor, staying in that emotional space for 12-13 hours every day was difficult. There were days when I would go home with swollen eyes because once you start living a character's pain for so long, it stays with you even after pack-up. But somewhere, I also feel Radhika's journey is a reminder that no matter how unfair life gets, you have to find the strength to stand up again. I hope girls who relate to her story find encouragement and hope through her journey".
As Radhika finally begins to find answers and embrace a new chapter in her life, viewers can look forward to an emotional yet heartwarming journey ahead.
'Lakshmi Niwas' airs on Zee TV.

I've been watching Lakshmi Niwas since it started, and this track really moved me. The way Radhika is standing up for herself despite all the taunts is something every girl needs to learn. But honestly, I wish the show would also show more supportive male characters instead of just putting all the burden on women.
Akshita is such a talented actress! I saw her earlier in shows too. It's not easy to cry on cue and make it look real. I hope more people appreciate the hard work actors put in behind the scenes. Radhika's journey is a mirror of what many women face in our society, and I'm glad Zee TV is showing this.
I don't watch much Indian TV, but this article caught my eye. It's interesting how soap operas in India tackle such serious social issues. Here in the US, our shows often avoid these topics. Props to Akshita for her dedication.
My mom watches this show religiously, and even I've seen a few episodes now. The emotional depth is actually impressive for a daily soap. But I think the show sometimes overdramatizes things. Still, Akshita's performance is top-notch. Hope she gets more recognition!
"Going home with swollen eyes" - that's real dedication. As someone who's worked in the media industry, I know how taxing emotional roles can be. The fact that she's using her character to inspire girls who face similar situations is beautiful. 💖 More power to you, Akshita!
