Nidhan ji ... my ID as well be validated by our friends familiar with species of *Trichodesma* ... some white paper (not able to find now on the internet) focused on their calices and stamens. *T. indicum* and *T. zeylanicum *seem to come quite close.
To me, your plant does seem to be *T. indicum*, though the colours could be different by variation. The JPGs -- Trichodesma amplexicaule -- (1), (3), (6), (8) show hastate calyx - agrees with *T. indicum* *T. zeylanicum* illustrated in Shrikant ji's Further Flowers of Sahyadri has calyx rounded at base, and the corolla lobes spirally twisted at apex. This is just my thoughts; let us wait for validating comments. Regards.
