Simaran Kaur breaks down on screen in a one-take emotional scene for Jamai No. 1

Popular drama Jamai No. 1 continues to engage viewers with its high-voltage storylines and emotionally charged moments. In the latest twist, the narrative takes a dramatic turn as Neel (played by Abhishek Malik) is wrongfully arrested in a shocking molestation case filed by Sayli (Sonal Vengurlekar).

Amid the chaos, Simaran Kaur, who portrays Neel’s devoted wife Riddhi, delivers a powerful, heart-wrenching performance as she fights to prove her husband’s innocence and uncover the truth.What made this particular scene truly stand out was the emotional realism Simaran brought to it. To capture the helplessness, anger, and desperation of a woman standing up for her loved one, Simaran tapped deep into her emotional reservoir.

The intense sequence was shot in a single take—a rare feat, especially for a scene that demanded such vulnerability and emotional depth. Known for her methodical approach to acting, Simaran took time to prepare in solitude, locking herself in her room before the shot to fully absorb her character’s emotional turmoil.Simaran said, “The moment I read the script, I knew it was going to be a challenging yet special scene.

I didn’t want to ‘act’ it—I wanted to feel every bit of what the character was going through. It wasn’t easy. I locked myself in my room before the shot, read my script, stayed quiet, and allowed myself to truly absorb the gravity of the situation. I imagined what it would be like to see someone you love being accused of something so devastating—and to feel completely powerless.

The emotional rush just took over, and I surrendered completely to the scene.

I’m glad the team captured it in one take. As an actor, these are the moments that test your limits, but also leave you deeply fulfilled.”Simaran’s raw and moving portrayal adds yet another layer of authenticity to Jamai No. 1, making it a must-watch for viewers. In the upcoming episodes, it will be interesting to see how Riddhi fights back to clear Neel’s name. Will she succeed in uncovering the truth, or will Sayli and Kanchan (Papia Sengupta) manage to drive a wedge between the couple?
