Simaran Kaur preps for her courtroom act for Jamai No. 1, says 'Watching the classic Bollywood movie Aitraaz, gave me great insight'
TV's gripping family drama Jamai No. 1 has kept viewers glued ever since its inception with its twists, turns, and intense emotional arcs. Now, in a dramatic new development, Riddhi (
Simaran Kaur
) will take a bold stand as she steps into the courtroom to defend her husband, Neel (Abhishek Malik), who has been falsely accused of a heinous act by Sayli (Sonal Vengurlekar).
The upcoming episodes promise to showcase a powerful transformation — Simaran's character evolves from a devoted wife into a fierce lawyer, fighting for justice.
What makes this even more special is that Simaran is essaying the role of a lawyer on screen, and she's left no stone unturned to make it authentic and impactful. From understanding legal nuances to watching courtroom dramas for reference, Simaran embraced the challenge head-on. Among her key inspirations was the critically acclaimed Bollywood film Aitraaz, where
Kareena Kapoor Khan
delivered an unforgettable performance as Advocate Priya Saxena Malhotra, defending her husband in a high-stakes harassment case.
Simaran brought the same energy to her role, making Riddhi both fiercely determined and emotionally relatable in the face of injustice in Jamai No 1.
Sharing her preparation process, Simaran Kaur said, 'I was really excited when I found out Riddhi would fight Neel's case in the court. It's such a powerful plot progression—from an emotional breakdown to regaining composure and stepping into a courtroom as a woman on a mission, it will definitely inspire many.

Before portraying the role of a lawyer, I wanted to understand the body language, tone, and confidence that a lawyer exudes.
Watching a few courtroom dramas, especially the classic Bollywood movie Aitraaz, gave me great insight, especially about how Kareena's character presents herself in court with quiet strength and strong moral conviction. I took notes on how to build that energy into Riddhi without over dramatising.'
She further added, 'It wasn't just about memorising lines—it was about owning that space. I worked with the team on my delivery, rehearsed a lot, and even practised speaking while pacing, just like a real courtroom lawyer. I hope audiences can feel the sincerity and fire that Riddhi brings to the scenes. This track is going to be one of the most empowering chapters for my character yet.'
As the show enters this intense legal showdown, the stakes have never been higher. But will Riddhi be able to dismantle Sayli's web of lies and prove Neel's innocence? Or will the courtroom drama tilt in favour of Sayli's manipulative plans?

He added that when audiences back unique stories, it gives the filmmaker the courage to bring stories that are closer to their hearts.
