Interesting theories about Vedu ; even i have doubts on step mom Nandini only.
unfortunately there is no reference point from the previous version of BALH for us, as there was a former GF of Ram and he doesn't yearn for her; she would hv gone abroad or something, then suddenly makes an appearance for some time long after Ram & Priya are married i think, and just disappears.
What i mean to say is, this former GF was not an important character before like it's now 🤔 let's see
