Lakshmi Niwas Gossip: The Haunted East Wing
The tension on the set of Lakshmi Niwas isn't just between the actors playing the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law; it's between the crew and the supernatural! Welcome to your daily dose of lakshmi niwas written update telly updates gossip. Unlike most soap operas filmed on soundstages, Lakshmi Niwas is filmed on location in an actual 150-year-old heritage mansion in Rajasthan, and it seems the property came with some uninvited guests.
The Creepy East Wing
If you read our recent telly updates written updates, you know that Devyani wants to convert the dilapidated "East Wing" of the house into a hotel. In reality, the East Wing of the shooting location is genuinely abandoned and in disrepair. The production team only goes in there to shoot specific "ruin" scenes.
According to zee tv telly updates insiders, the crew absolutely despises filming in that section of the house. Last week, during a scheduled night shoot for Devyani's secret meeting with the investor (detailed in our Spoiler section), three separate lighting rigs blew their bulbs simultaneously without any power surge detected on the generators.
The Midnight Piano
The most chilling gossip revolves around the mansion's antique grand piano, which sits in the main hall. During a break in a 2:00 AM shoot, the sound engineer, sitting alone in the production van outside, suddenly heard distinct piano notes feeding through the lapel mic that was still attached to the actress playing Badi Maa.
The engineer radioed the director, asking who was playing the piano. The director, standing right next to the actress in the courtyard, confirmed they were both outside and the main hall was completely empty and locked. The tellyupdates written episode crew immediately stopped production for the night. The sound engineer still has the recording, and multiple crew members swear the melody played was an old colonial-era waltz.
The Badi Maa Wardrobe Malfunction
On a lighter note, the set isn't all ghosts and tension. The actress playing the formidable Badi Maa, known for her terrifying, cold stares, recently broke character in the most hilarious way possible. During a highly dramatic confrontation where she is supposed to storm away from Devyani, the heavy pleats of her authentic, 10-kilo Banarasi silk saree got caught in a floor fan.
Instead of a dramatic exit, the fan slowly began winding the expensive silk, pulling the veteran actress backward until she gracefully sat down on the floor. The entire cast, including the actress playing Devyani who was supposed to be crying, burst into uncontrollable laughter. "It's the only time I've ever seen Badi Maa defeated," the lead actor joked on his Instagram story. "And it was by a Rs. 500 table fan!"
