Sharing insights about his character, Sandeep says, “I am playing Pramod Shrivastav, Riddhi’s father. Since childhood, Riddhi has been told that her father is a bad guy who beats her mom and has a bad character. She hasn’t seen him since her childhood. What the real truth is will prevail soon.”

There are a lot of emotional moments with Riddhi in Jamai No. 1, and sometimes, yes, you perform the scenes thinking of real emotions.”
Reflecting on how this role differs from his previous ones, the actor says, “This is really a very emotional and positive character I am playing in Jamai No. 1. I have played comedy characters in films and negative roles in many serials, but this is the first time I am playing a father who loves his daughter and hasn’t met her for almost 20 years. It’s truly an emotional ride, and I am loving it.”
Sandeep Kapoor’s entry promises to shake things up in Jamai No. 1. “My entry will tell the viewers the real reason behind him leaving his daughter. There will be lots of twists and turns and a beautiful and emotional experience for viewers.”
