The line from Nandini that got my attention yesterday is this particular one, "Vedika is staying here because I allowed her to be". Then I realized that even if the worst case scenario happened and Ram and Priya gets separated, Nandini will never ever allow Vedika to get back together with Ram. Firstly, she wants her and her children to be the most important people in Ram's life. And for that to remain true, Ram should never have his own family. That was one of the reason why Nandini is keen on separating Ram and Priya and doing most of her dramas. Because Ram has slowly started accepting Priya and falling for her and if that happens and they start their own family in the future, Obviously Priya and their kids will get Ram's fortune not Nandini/Shubham/Shivina. Even though she should have realized by now that Ram will never abandon his family and would have arranged for things to happen smoothly even in his absence. Secondly, from start of the show, Nandini keeps reminding Ram about Vedika and his one side love almost in all of their conversations. Why would someone do that? Because she doesn't want Ram to move on and date or marry someone. Even though Ram must have accepted that he can never be with his past love and that she had happily moved on, Nandini keeps on drilling in his mind that he is still in love with Vedika. But this became invalid for a short time when Shivina was in trouble and she happily placed Ram in front to face the bullets, oops I mean arrange his marriage with Priya. And finally, if Nandini is a master manipulator like they portray her in the show, her intention is very clear and that is money and rich lifestyle for her and her children. So why would she allow another gold digger like Vedika and jeopardize everything for her family.
That's all. I have spoken. 😃
