When Romit had to walk back barefoot
Romit Raj aka Yuvraj of Ghar ki Laxmi — Betiyaan aired on Zee TV, recently got the shock of his life when he lost one of his favourite possessions and had to walk back home barefoot. Yes, we are talking about his expensive pair of shoes which got stolen from a temple he visited in Lokhandwala. "The temple is next to my house. I entered the temple the day after my first episode got aired to take the blessings of god. People recognised me and started chatting. As I went out I realised that my shoes were stolen. I was terribly hurt as I had to walk back home barefoot," says Romit.
Romit was razy about the particular pair and was depressed by what happened. "I practice Vipasana which teaches one not to get attached to material things. I have also learnt a lesson from the man who must have stolen my shoes i.e never leave your shoes outside a temple. Now I always keep my shoes in my car before visiting the temple", exclaims the young actor.
Well, guess Romit's bad deeds (more so the image of the thief) in the daily saga must have got the better of him off screen. Maybe someone mixed up his reel and real life images and wanted to teach him a proper lesson! (Sampurn)
