Simaran Kaur, star of Zee TV’s ‘Jamai No. 1,’ opens up about her character Riddhi Chotwani and what makes this role so special. Playing a strong, no-nonsense CEO, she describes Riddhi as a modern-day boss who unapologetically lives on her own terms.
Riddhi’s past has shaped her. After being abandoned by her father, she grew up with her mother’s advice to focus on her career. While she puts her all into work, Riddhi has a softer side when it comes to her family. She shares a deep bond with her mother, grandmother, and brother, showing she’s not all business.
Unlike conventional TV heroines, Riddhi doesn’t dive into melodramatic stunts to solve problems. Simaran explains how her character is relatable and grounded, representing today’s strong, independent woman. Sharp in her decisions yet kind-hearted, Riddhi is both tough and emotional, a bit like a coconut.
Simaran was drawn to ‘Jamai No. 1’ because of its fresh storyline. She says television often serves recycled narratives, but Riddhi’s multi-faceted personality offers something different. Preparing for the role was exciting—she even took cues from friends working as CEOs to nail the corporate vibe.
Standout moments for Simaran included intense scenes like burning her own car, a bold move Riddhi makes when pushed to the limit. Equally touching were emotional family scenes, like comforting her mother during a panic attack—moments that connected deeply with viewers.
To aspiring actors, Simaran shared some heartfelt advice: stay confident and patient. She believes every struggle shapes you as an artist, so keep working hard, trust the process, and success will follow.
