No, Lavanya, I think we are in for a lot of fun as Roopa does a lovey dovey act with Chandra, and he does not know how to take it!๐ Last night's episode - with him ending up as Nandini's teddy bear ๐- gave a strong indication of how he is going to start melting pretty soon. So he would be like putty in the hands of a cheeky, aggressive Roopa, whom he would of course assume to be Nandini.That is not the real issue The real issue is what on earth Sunanda is aiming for. I think she wants to get rid of Chandra - remember the highly disapproving look on her face as Nandini is rejoicing when Chandra recovers consciousness? . So she must be planning to use Roopa to seduce him first and then bump him off.Of course the Sunanda-Aapama duo would first have to get Nandini out of the way first for this to work.Now Sunanda cannot reveal this real motive to Aapama, who does not want Chandra dead, quite the opposite, but does want Nandini to vanish from the scene. So Sunanda will have to tell her a cooked up story about a quite different yojana.What will that be? Question No. 1.What of the cheroot smoking Roopa? She will hardly be a pliable puppet for keeps. She might fall for Chandra herself, like Helena and Nandini, and then she might want to simply replace Nandini in Chandra's life for keeps, and let Sunanda go to the blazes. Question No.2.How did Roopa materialise anyway? Is she a twin sister of Nandini's, which is totally implausible in the case of a royal birth with the doctors and the maids and the soldiers around, as Anne (AJSharma79) had pointed out earlier, stressing than Nandini was born outside the palace, when Avantika was returning from somewhere. It would have been impossible for Sunanda, who was not there then, to have smuggled one baby out without running a huge risk.Or is she a lookalike that Sunanda has chanced upon somewhere, like Maham Anga stumbling upon her own lookalike Lakhi? This is more plausible. She could then have kept her hidden all this while, planning to palm her off on Nand some day as a twin of Nandini's. Whence her constant references to a great secret that he would desperately want to know. Question No. 3.I suppose Roopa's identity would be revealed when she cannot tackle any of Nandini's high level pustakein!Well, these three Qs are enough to be going on for the moment. I will try and think of some more soon, and so can you! Did I not say it would be fun?Shyamala Aunty
