Simaran Kaur opens up about playing Riddhi Chotwani in Jamai No. 1, highlighting her character’s emotional evolution and newfound openness to love. She calls the role one of the most fulfilling of her career.
Simaran Kaur, who brings the strong yet emotionally complex Riddhi Chotwani to life in Zee TV’s Jamai No. 1, is thrilled the way her character has evolved. From a woman wary of love to one who openly confesses her feelings to her husband Neel, Riddhi’s journey has added both depth and reliability to the show’s narrative.
In an exclusive chat, Simaran Kaur opens up about Riddhi’s emotional transformation and what makes her arc stand out. She shares, “Her past and upbringing taught her that love often brings distraction and heartbreak. But Neel proved her wrong — patiently and persistently, he broke through her emotional walls. And now, she’s not just in love, she’s embracing it.” 
Recent episodes have seen Riddhi finally express her love for Neel, much to the delight of viewers. The blossoming romance between the two leads has quickly become a fan-favorite track. “This is a massive leap for Riddhi. She’s someone who’s always feared being emotionally vulnerable, so seeing her take that step is incredibly powerful,” she says.
Simaran Kaur also reflects on her own experience portraying Riddhi, calling it one of the most rewarding roles of her career. She says, “Riddhi is bold, successful, and unapologetically herself — but she’s also deeply human. She feels deeply, fears loss, and fights for what she believes in. That’s what makes her so real.”
She adds with a smile, “It’s been a joy peeling back her layers — from her confident boardroom persona to the emotional chaos she navigates at home. Riddhi is a force, and I’m so proud to play her.”
