She is edgy, crazy and right,” says Banerjee. Bhumi Pednekar’s character in Toilet: Ek Prem Katha (2017) and Parineeti Chopra’s in Jabariya Jodi (2019) has inspired Simran Pareenja’s role in Lakshmi Ghar Aayi.

"For the wedding sequence, I had to dress up as a bride. While I was excited about wearing the designer red lehenga, getting into the dress and running in it was really tough. To be honest, the outfit was really very heavy, it was almost 25 kgs. On top of it, there was the wedding jewellery. In fact, it also took me nearly 2-3 hours every day to get in and out of the look," she said.
"To climb up and down the stairs to go to the 'Kumkum Bhagya' set and then having to run for several sequences was a task, but I wanted it to look real and hence, I gave my best. I feel all my hard work was worth it and I have to say, I felt wonderful and pretty in the bridal outfit. The whole wedding sequence was fantastic to shoot," Pooja recalls shooting for the Zee TV show.
