Jai Sharma took his final revenge against his biological father Amit in dramatic scenes in Emmerdale on Friday.
This week, Jai (Chris Bisson) saw Amit (Anil Goutam) up to mischief as he handed over the HOP’s takings to a loanshark before pretending to have been mugged.
Eric Pollard (Chris Chittell) and Jai then teamed up to prove that Amit must have been involved in the death of Rishi Sharma (Bhasker Patel) last year.
Following a heated conversation this week, Amit admitted he killed Jai’s brother, with Jai shoving him down the stairs and leaving him in a pool of blood.
Viewers were left wondering if Amit had been killed but on Friday he was seen bound and gagged.
Jai and Amit finally struck a deal and Amit left the village forever without saying goodbye to anyone.
Actor Chris has now spoken out on the dramatic scenes and what’s in store next for his character Jai.
Chris said: ‘Jai has finally discovered the truth about Amit and I think this has brought out the dark side in him.
‘He’s previously tried to suppress all his feelings and he listened to Laurel and Suni who said there was nothing to see hear. That Jai should move on and accept the death of his father and take Amit into his family.
‘Well that has proved to be untrue. Amit is the villain that we suspected or that Jai suspected he was.
‘Amit has been very devious and the pain that Jai suffered over the last eight months or so since Rishi’s death has now exploded.
‘It is like a big fireball inside him and it’s all coming out in one go.
‘And Amit is feeling the wrath of Jai’s pain. I think that for Jai it’s very simple now.
‘He wants rid of Amit. He wants him out of his life he doesn’t want him anywhere near him.
‘He wants the shares to the HOP – he wants his rightful inheritance that he should have got from Rishi.
‘The fact that Rishi is no longer with him, means that Jai feels like he needs to avenge his death in some way.
‘And hurt Amit in someway.
‘Jai is not a murderer deep down but I think he has been pushed to his limit here.
‘But he has let Amit away with his life.’
He added: ‘But it has changed something inside him and going forward the way he views life and people and relationships may well be affected.
‘Certainly the way he treats business will probably be affected too.’
On what’s to come for Jai, he said: ‘I think he is going to become a bit more ruthless.
‘He feels he has been taken for a bit of a fool and he feels like that is never going to happen again.
‘So yes maybe Bad Jai is back! And do you know what I quite like bad Jai. He’s fun to play! But he’s not all bad though, he’s a good dad and he has some redeeming qualities but we have seen him go down this path before – so who knows what lies ahead…’
