I hv been going crazy figuring out the timeline.
Ram is now 38, Shivi must be arnd 23-24 & Shubhu arnd 26-27 is my guess. 
Ram, Adi, Vedika, Shashi, Brinda etc all in college same time so maybe max two years apart.
Ram proposes to Vedika at 18, she looks delighted so they must hv seen each other for a few years until they were of marriageable age say mid-20s.
Ram’s dad must have died when Ram was in early 20s, so Shubhu Shivi were school kids then.
If Shashi was involved then he was already a thug in his early to mid 20s ?
Unlikely Nandini would be involved in bumping her hubby off when her kids were so young. 
Thats when Ram’s struggle started for a few years & in that time (mid 20s) Vedika ditched him & married Shashi. So they hv been married about 12+yrs. Thats a really long time to not move on, the way Ram was stuck - people may not forget their first love but will not be tearing up over it daily 10 yrs later. So the Ram Vedika one-sided love story is bakwas. 
For the last 12+ yrs Shashi was flaunting Vedika in Ram’s face? Then Ram must be a colossal idiot to not figure this out in such a loooong time.
Adi & Brinda must also hv met when they were all in collrge & married a few yrs later so marred for 12+ yrs. How come both married couples are childless after being married for over 10 yrs? Neither woman has a job also.
