Jamai No. 1, the popular drama produced by Prateek Sharma and Parth Shah’s LSD Studios, continues to grip audiences with its intense storytelling and emotionally charged twists. In a recent episode, the plot takes a shocking turn when Neel (played by Abhishek Malik) is falsely accused of molestation by Sayli (Sonal Vengurlekar), leading to his arrest. Amid the turmoil, Simaran Kaur—who plays Neel’s devoted wife Riddhi—steals the spotlight with a gut-wrenching emotional breakdown, filmed in a single, uninterrupted take. In a moment filled with anguish and fury, Riddhi stands up for her husband, determined to prove his innocence and expose the truth. What made the scene truly remarkable was the raw emotional authenticity Simaran brought to it. To embody the desperation and helplessness of a woman fighting for her loved one, Simaran dug deep into her emotional reserves. Known for her committed and methodical approach to acting, she spent time alone in her room before the shoot, preparing herself mentally and emotionally to fully inhabit Riddhi’s turmoil.
Reflecting on the experience, Simaran shared, “The moment I read the script, I knew it would be both challenging and special. I didn’t want to just act—I wanted to live every emotion my character was going through. It wasn’t easy. I locked myself in my room, stayed silent, and let the weight of the situation sink in. I imagined what it would feel like to watch someone you love get accused of something this serious and to feel completely helpless. The emotions just took over. I’m grateful it was captured in one take—moments like these tests you as an actor, but also leave you deeply fulfilled.”
Simaran’s moving portrayal has added yet another layer of realism and emotional depth to Jamai No. 1, making the show even more compelling for viewers. As the story unfolds, all eyes are now on Riddhi—will she succeed in proving Neel’s innocence, or will Sayli and Kanchan (played by Papia Sengupta) succeed in driving a wedge between the couple? Stay tuned as the drama intensifies in the upcoming episodes.
