Emmerdale viewers accuse Jai Sharma of killing dad Rishi as financial problems exposed

Emmerdale fans were left fearing for Rishi Sharma's life on Monday evening after he collapsed during a heated row.

The latest episode of the ITV soap saw Rishi's children, Jai and Priya (Fiona Wade), butt heads as they argued over whether or not to sell their home.

Jai (Chris Bisson) is desperate for money so that he can purchase the property he currently lives in with his partner Laurel after Kim Tate (Claire King) announced she was selling up.

"What'll kill Laurel is the truth. That you won't be able to get a mortgage because of your sky high loan repayments," Kim told Jai during a heated discussion.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not willing to lose money just so as you can hide your financial situation from Laurel," Kim added.

Worried about what to do next, Jai paid his Rishi (Bhasker Patel) and sister a visit after Laurel suggested they apply for a mortgage together.

"Kim has put a for sale sign outside Mulberry, I've tried to talk to her but she won't back down," Jai told them, before adding: "I need to sell my share of this place."

But Priya was having none of it and let loose at her sibling as you told him: "You really are the most entitled, egotistical man on the planet!"

The argument spilled out onto the street as Bernice confronted Jai about his plans to try and buy Mulberry and make her homeless.

As Rishi shouted at Jai, it became clear that the argument was a bit too much for him as his face turned.

After attempting to head back inside the house, Rishi was seen collapsing on the gravel as Priya and Jai rushed to his side.

"Oh my God! Is he breathing?" Priya asked as she screamed at Jai to call an ambulance.

Emmerdale fans were left worrying that Rishi would die and took to Twitter to comment.

One person posted: "Holy Shizzle Jai Killed Rishi."

Another tweeted: "Well done Jai, you may of just killed your dad! #Emmerdale."

And a third person added: "Jai killed Rishi hate him even more now #Emmerdale."
