also I came across another theory that he may have kept Vatsalya alive and In hiding and I thought that in that case it could have been possible that Tej Khan was his man and they together have kept Vatsalya in hiding. I know this is a farfetched theory but it could still be possible.😆
Yeah, initially I got the same impression that Narottam is fond of Vatsalya. But when he uses Vatsalya's memories to get into the good books of Vikram, it changed my views about him. No person who loves someone will lie about him after his death for selfish reasons. He is shrewd and conniving. Much smarter than others.
That's an interesting theory Ayuzawa. But many points go against it, including the one I stated above. Why would he keep Vatsalya alive, if one of his biggest hurdle to the throne is him?
