Kai bluntly replied: ‘I’m not apologising to anyone’
Sanam added: ‘I think from what I’ve gathered she wants to close that book and so do you, so can’t you just both call it quits and be civil because it is awkward for me’.
Kai said: ‘I am civil with her though that’s the thing, I’m not going to sit her and have a conversation with her’

The Financial Advisor was accused of ‘egging on’ the boys and prompting them to be disloyal while they were away from their partners last week.
But when he was confronted on the behaviour by partner Lana Jenkins and pal Samie Elishi during the episode, Ron stuck to his guns and assured that he did nothing of the sort.
After the Casa Amor girls had accused Ron of trying to stir the pot, he pulled Samie for a chat later on to clear the air.
He began: ‘I am very chill with this situation because I am very comfortable with the way that I have acted and I can, hand on heart, tell you that I did not egg on any of the boys.
‘You know how much I think of you and I said to the boys at the start that if Tom does recouple, then he’s a donut. He likes you a lot.’
Samie hugged it out with Ron as she appeared to believe him.
Denial: Clearing the air, Ron pulled Samie for a chat to explain that he was ‘comfortable’ with the way he behaved, and would never egg the boys on
However, during Casa Amor, Ron was seen having a chat in the villa with Tom, who was weighing up whether to recouple with new girl Lydia or stick with Samie.
Talking with the footballer, Ron said: ‘As much as I love Samie and everything else, how does a girl like that resist all the boys putting it on her.
‘Like, I don’t wanna put it in your head that she is lipsing everybody but I’d be very surprised if she hadn’t been open to getting to know people and doing certain things. I can’t see her coming back on her own. ‘
He continued: ‘I know it’s hard not to, but I genuinely wouldn’t deep it bringing Lydia back because If I was in your shoes, I would definitely be protecting myself. You could bring her back and then literally just focus on Samie’.
