Romit Raj now turns a killer in Betiyaan..

Ghar Ki Lakshmi Betiyaan� Changing tracks?.

It's going good for Zee TV once again. The channel has managed to rope in audiences with Saat Phere and Kasamh Se which have proved to be a real competition for the rival channels. Now, it's the turn of Ghar Ki Lakshmi Betiyaan, which was launched with a lot of fanfare to counter Star's Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki in the 10 pm slot. A few months back the show invited a lot of flak for its regressive representation of women but now it seems to be getting on the right track. Now, its back in news once more. Hold�no rushing to conclusions. The serial recently created a history of sorts when the shaadi sequence between Bhavishya (Kartik) and Saraswati (Kshitee Jog) was shot in a way that it appeared a real shaadi to other unit members. Comments Rajan Shahi, the series director of Betiyaan, "I felt more like the father of the bride than a director while shooting the sequence. I mean so detailed and authentic was the whole set-up that it seemed like a real shaadi. We shot all the 40 ceremonies that are associated with the traditional Gujarati marriage. I had to take three days rest to get back to work, as I was completely drained by the opulent affair." The storyline of the show will witness a fresh turn of events with the marriage of the eldest daughter Sarswati (Kshitee Jog) to Bavishya (Kartik) turning out to be a huge fiasco. Bavishya locks Sarswati in a hotel room on their honeymoon trip and henceforth his character would turn oppressive. Saraswati on the other hand chances upon her former admirer and she finds a new support in him. Lakshmi (Twinkle Bajpai), the youngest of the four daughters will continue to fight for her elder sister as she does for her mother. But, somehow over a period of time she will also be more subdued and less of her rebellious self, as she has fallen in love. So, a lot of drama expected in the coming weeks on the show. For all those uninitiated, the story is about the Garodia family who are blessed with three girls and wish a son's birth. Destiny blesses the family with a fourth baby girl and the family head Suryakant Garodia gets married for a second time to find a male heir for the family and is finaly blessed with a son. Now, with a new wife and an old family a lot of drama gets generated in the show. Rajan Shahi has directed popular serials like Jassi Jaise Koi Nahin, Millee, Kareena Kareena and Viraast to name a few. His forte has been the female centric themes that have become a niche genre post Jassi's popularity. Commenting on the overall treatment of the show which critics typecast as stereotypical, "I don't agree with these statements. We are not rooted in the stereotype but in reality. The story of Betiyaan does echo in many households. Women continue to be the fairer sex whereas men are supposed to carry forward the progeny. We are holding a mirror to that reality and if in doing so we are labeled as regressive, it's awfully ridiculous. Finally, in the show all the female leads will rise above their oppressive circumstances" says the experienced director.

Romit Raj now turns a killer in Betiyaan..
Telly Buzz recently wrote about Romit Raj aka Yuvraj in Ghar Ki Lakshmi Betiyaan turning grey. Now to the shock of viewers, he turns into a killer. In the upcoming episodes, he will soon be killing his own father.

“Suryakanth Garodia (Yatin Karyekar) is going to die in the show, and his son Yuvraj will kill him,” says our khabroo from the sets.

Elaborating on the story line our source adds, “It’s Pavitra (Jasveer Kaur) who provokes Yuvraj to kill his own father, and he does it. It will be shown that after killing Suryakanth Garodia, Yuvraj and Pavitra throw the other members of the family out of the house. Now the Betiyaan have no support and get to the streets.”

Well, all this is a result of Yuvraj being brainwashed by Pavitra. “She tells Yuvraj that his father should love him in the same way as he loves his son Naman. Unfortunately, Suryakant does not love Yuvraj as he is his step son. This is what keeps pinching Yuvraj and he ends up killing his father,” quips the source.

“It’s Jhumki (Sonia Singh) who supports her family by working and proves that betiyaan can also be the best support to a family”, adds our source.

What about the marriage of Jhumki? “Well the truth about her being a prostitute earlier comes in light, and Siddharth (Yash Pandit) breaks the relationship,” concludes the source.
