Undercover mission to uncover truth about character's child

In the upcoming track, Lakshmi and Shalu slip into the garb of men as they go undercover in a daring attempt to uncover the truth about Malishka’s child. While Lakshmi is disguised as a Punjabi man, wearing a beard and a turban, Shalu is seen wearing a wig, a beard, a mustache, and a fake stomach, and she barges into Balwinder’s backyard.

Talking about the get-up, Aishwarya said, “It was madness — but the fun kind! The first time we saw each other in full look, we just couldn’t stop laughing. It took immense patience getting the beard glued on properly, adjusting the turban just right, and staying in that getup for over 12 hours. But once we slipped into character, we were all in.”

Aishwarya revealed that the two even tried mimicking how men walk and talk.

“The crew had a blast watching us practice our ‘manly’ walks between takes! As actors, it’s always exciting to break out of your comfort zone and try something completely different. Getting into this quirky disguise gave us a chance to explore a whole new layer of performance.”

“It was challenging — but that’s what made it so much fun. Honestly, it’s shoots like these that remind you why you love doing what you do,” she added.

“Bhagya Lakshmi” is produced by Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor's Balaji Telefilms; the series stars Aishwarya Khare and Rohit Suchanti.

The show follows Lakshmi, whose life takes an unexpected turn when her family gets her married to a rich businessman, Rishi Oberoi. However, she is feeling betrayed when she learns the truth about her marriage.

“Bhagya Lakshmi” airs on Zee TV.

The dedication actors show for their craft is amazing. 12 hours in that getup sounds exhausting but she makes it sound like so much fun!

While I appreciate the effort, I hope the show doesn't rely too much on these gimmicks. The core story of Lakshmi is compelling enough without needing these disguise tracks.

The behind-the-scenes stories are sometimes more entertaining than the show itself! Would love to see bloopers from this sequence.

The show's getting interesting again after that dull patch last month. These actors deserve credit for keeping viewers engaged week after week.
