Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Jai Sharma is certainly not having the best of times in Emmerdale at the moment, and it's no wonder why. Many would argue that it serves him right for the predicament he's found himself in. You see, Jai has been scammed out of thousands of pounds by none other than Caleb Miligan. But here's the twist - it turns out that Jai actually wanted to invest that money into Caleb's business, secretly, in an attempt to keep it out of the divorce settlement. You see, Jai didn't want his soon-to-be ex-wife, Laurel Thomas, to get her hands on any of it.
Jai had expected to be made a partner in Caleb's business, but it quickly became clear that he had no real place in it. The company was even named after Caleb himself - Caleb Miligan International. Talk about a slap in the face. Jai was absolutely horrified to learn that he had no legal role in the company and that his money had been put into a smaller shell company. It's no wonder he was fuming when he found out, and he didn't hesitate to make a scene at the launch event for the new company.
In fact, things got so heated that Jai ended up trashing the warehouse with a forklift and even pinned Caleb against a pallet. Who knows what would have happened if Caleb's long-lost daughter, Steph, hadn't arrived at that very moment. She managed to stop Jai before things got completely out of hand. In an attempt to calm Jai down, Caleb offered him a manager's job, but Jai was too proud to accept something he considered to be beneath him.
But the following Monday, Jai hit rock bottom. He was at the Woolpack explaining to Laurel how he turned down Caleb's job offer because he felt like Caleb had tried to "rob him blind." Bear, who was working at the bar, pointed out that Jai didn't have many other options. He even suggested that Jai could ask Chas Dingle if there were any bar jobs available, but he also didn't think Jai would bring the right atmosphere to the Woolpack with his "insurance salesman wide-boy" image.
Laurel agreed with Bear's assessment, adding that Jai was also slimy, aggressive, and dishonest. In a rare moment of sincerity, Jai apologized to Laurel for the way he treated her and the money situation. She told him that he had no choice but to accept Caleb's job offer and that he should count himself lucky to have any job at all.
It looks like Jai will eventually go back to Caleb and take the job after all. But Caleb may end up regretting humiliating Jai and then allowing him back into the company. We've seen how ruthless Jai can be when he feels like someone has tried to get the better of him. It's only a matter of time before he decides to seek revenge.
