Adultery that is section 497 of IPC is a very serious offence in which the offender may be convicted for imprisonment for a period of 5 years. Adultery is something which takes place only when a man do sexual intercourse with the wife of another man. Normal phone calls and chats do not amount to adultery but having said that, these phone calls and chats can't stop the police to register FIR against you. The act of adultery is to be proved in the Court of law which is the later part. But you may be arrested if her husband files an FIR or case against you under the said section.
Now let's come to the second part. If at all, he files a case against you and you are arrested, strong evidences are needed in Court of law to convict you for the said of fence.
Usually, there are no direct evidences against adultery and it has to be proven with the help of circumstantial proofs such as; photographs of the spouse with a third person at secluded place where they may get intimate or at places like hotels where they may get an opportunity for physical relationship. If this is not your part of the story then you do not have to worry much. Stay calm and watch whether he takes any step or not.

No , only only video call and WhatsApp message is not attract 497 I.p. c . If you have sexual relationship with the woman and the woman admit that she has sexual relationship with you then you will be in trouble.
hello,
sec. 497 deals with the offence of adultery. that means if a person has physical relationship with wife of another person without consent of that person, then only a person can be guilty of that offence. mere conversation over phone or video chat is not an evidence at all. don't worry. he needs concrete evidence to prove the offence.
