No, Aarti Ji your plant is not *R. ciliatiflora* as I have stated in my previous mail sent minutes ago. Now, I would stress on *Asystasia*. You can see your flower has the form of *A. gangetica*. Don't rely in google search of *Asystasia*. I spent quite some time on finding correct *Asystasia* images of various species in the net. There is lots of mix-up over the net. What has been marked as *A. macrocarpa* in certain flickr account has other wrongly identified species. *A. macrocarpa* should be similar to *gangetica* I think.
We need to dig more to identify this particular species. Because, I do not know if any other genus, say *Strobilanthes* can have similar species.
