Don't know if anyone else has thought about this...but if they have then I guess great minds think alike 😉
Does anyone think that maybe Padmini is Shagun and Mihir's mother...and she goes with another last name for the sake of writing books? (like a pen name) 😲
It makes sense for me because she seems to care extra about Ruhi...and she's happy that such a loving lady like Ishita is her new name and lastly, she was very scared of being caught by Toshi.
