Stepping into a powerful new character often demands a complete transformation, and actress Ridhima Tiwari is experiencing just that with her role as the menacing Rakshasi in Divya Prem: Pyaar Aur Rahasya Ki Kahani. Known for her expressive performances, Ridhima is now embracing a darker, more intense on-screen persona—one that stands out visually and emotionally.
Her Rakshasi avatar is designed to radiate strength, danger, and mystery. From layered fabrics to bold accessories, every element of her costume has been crafted to amplify the character’s supernatural presence.
A Never-Before Attempted Look
Sharing details of her striking transformation, Ridhima said:
“My character is dark and demonic, so naturally, black is the first color that comes to mind. But my look also has a twist: it’s a blend of black, gold, and a touch of rust, which in imagination can symbolize blood. It gives the look a powerful and mysterious vibe.”
Her outfit—an elegant fusion of a dhoti-style bottom and short choli—features rich gold borders and is topped with a dramatic veil. Heavy jewelry, including statement necklaces, arm cuffs, and bracelets, adds to the character’s intimidating aura.
The Headgear That Transforms Her Completely
Among all the elements of her costume, Ridhima highlights one that stands out most:
“What makes it even more special is the headgear; I’ve never worn something like this before.”
The elaborate piece is visually stunning but challenging to wear during long shooting hours. Still, she believes it helps her step fully into Rakshasi’s world the moment she reaches the set.
Additional touches such as black nail polish, a nose pin, and rustic-golden accents add a perfect blend of raw fierceness and elegance. Despite the heavy detailing, Ridhima appreciates the breathable fabric, which allows her to perform comfortably during extended schedules.
“This entire look is something I’ve never carried before, and I truly love it. It’s powerful, different, and perfectly matches the essence of my role,” she expressed.
A Dark New Phase in the Story
As Divya Prem moves forward with an 8-year leap, the narrative takes a darker turn. With Rakshasi rising in destructive force, Divya faces new dangers, deeper mysteries, and emotional challenges that threaten her world and family. The stage is set for intense drama and powerful confrontations ahead.
