Zee TV is extending its large-scale storytelling approach with a new international shoot for Lakshmi Niwas in Bangkok. The upcoming track features a crucial celebration in the family drama and follows the popular Kashmir proposal sequence from Tumm Se Tumm Tak. The channel is again investing in cinematic visuals to deepen emotion and keep viewers engaged.
The Bangkok chapter centres on Bhoomika’s birthday, a turning point for the characters and their relationship. The celebration begins modestly but grows into a lavish surprise when Raj arranges a chartered flight to Thailand. The track closes with a grand cruise party, linking romance, aspiration and a sense of wonder within the narrative.

Instead of using recreated sets, the Lakshmi Niwas team is filming across real Bangkok locations. The goal is to create images that feel true to the story and to the rising travel dreams of Indian viewers. The scale supports the emotional beat, rather than existing only for spectacle, and aims to keep the drama relatable.
Key scenes take place on a chartered plane, on a cruise, across islands and in the sea. The birthday surprise track becomes Bhoomika’s first major international trip on screen. The spectacle is designed as an emotional leap for the character as well. It also signals how Indian television is leaning towards more global settings.
Zee TV Lakshmi Niwas Bangkok sequence through the cast’s experience
Sharing the experience from the set, Riya Munjal, who plays Bhoomika, said, “Shooting the Bangkok sequence was an incredible experience for all of us. The track is a special birthday surprise where Raj takes Bhoomika on a trip, and everything she experiences, from a private jet to the sea, islands, and a cruise, happens for the first time in her life, making it emotionally very special. One of the most memorable moments was the underwater sea-walking sequence. While Bhoomika panics in the show, it was actually Priom who got nervous underwater, and I ended up reassuring him, which made the experience even more special and memorable for us. Despite the shoot being tiring, the stunning locations, smooth planning, and the team’s support made the entire schedule feel more like a beautiful trip than a shoot.”
Riya Munjal’s account highlights both the demanding schedule and the holiday-like feel of the outdoor shoot. The underwater sea-walk, island stretches and cruise portions are used to mirror Bhoomika’s inner journey. Her comment on calming Priyom Dev Gujjar during the sea-walk adds a lighter, personal layer to the high-pressure production.

Talking about the shoot, Priyom Dev Gujjar, who essays Raj, added, “The experience of shooting in Bangkok was absolutely beautiful. Everything about it was wonderful, and it was also my first international trip. Before this, I had never done an outdoor shoot, nor had I travelled abroad, so this was my first international shoot as well. That made it even more special for me. We shot across multiple locations, on a yacht, on an island, in the sea, and even during snorkelling sequences, and every bit of it was incredibly exciting. When you get the opportunity to travel while working, the experience becomes even more memorable. Working with the entire Lakshmi Niwas team, Rashmi Sharma Telefilms, and Pawan sir has been a lovely experience. Every sequence was shot beautifully and with great care. By God’s grace, everything went smoothly, and I’m truly grateful for this opportunity.”
For Priyom Dev Gujjar, the Bangkok schedule doubles as a professional and personal landmark. It serves as both the first international trip and first extensive outdoor shoot. Multiple locations, including yachts, islands and snorkelling spots, are used to create variety on screen, while also strengthening the bond within the Lakshmi Niwas unit.

Highlighting the wider plan for content, Mangesh Kulkarni, Chief Channel Officer, Zee TV, said, “Our focus has consistently been on reimagining what television storytelling can achieve. With every show, we aim to push creative boundaries while remaining rooted in strong narratives and emotional relevance. International shoots are a strategic choice for us, not a novelty. With Lakshmi Niwas, Bangkok offered the right scale and authenticity for a crucial narrative moment, aligning with our long-term focus on evolving and engaging storytelling for today’s television audiences.”
Through this Bangkok sequence in Lakshmi Niwas, Zee TV underlines its aim to pair scale with substance. The team is using real locations, elaborate set pieces and character-driven moments to shape an important plot turn. The channel continues to emphasise emotionally grounded stories while experimenting with larger visual canvases for Indian television viewers.
