[Obviously the man with the moustache who is now her father in the show is a different man to the one in the photo before, because they just took a photo of someone and used it for Gopi's parents back then but now they decided to have her parents be alive in the story and so actually cast some actors in the roles of her parents.]
If the CVs actually remember that Gopi had her parents photo before and have her take it out of the cupboard and look at it again, I wonder if it will be the same photo she had before or one of the actors who are now portraying her parents. If it is of the new actors then it will be strange, because she didn't recognise her father when she saw him in person, whereas she has seen the photo before and she is supposed to have a good memory (although the CVs will and do conveniently forget when it suits them that Gopi has an excellent memory because she had to remember absolutely everything before she learnt how to read or write!). If they show the photo to us again then I think it really should have the same people in it as before - not the parents who have turned up now (although SNS does tend to defy logic at times!).
If the CVs actually remember that Gopi had a photo (and that is a big "if"!) then they will probably now say that Urmila gave her a photo of some random people and told her that the couple in it were her parents.
Articles have mentioned that Gopi's parents lost her in the Kumbh Mela, and her father hasn't cut his moustache since then and her mother has lost her mental balance. Urmila recognises the father, so she obviously has something to do with them.
Do you guys think Urmila took Gopi from the Kumbh Mela? Do you think they are even actually related? And if this "Gopi as an orphan" situation does involve some kalakaari of Urmila's then where on Earth was Jeetubhai back then? Was he on a seemingly-permanent business trip back then as well?
I guess it is possible that Jeetubhai's sister and brother-in-law (Rashi's aunt/fayi and uncle/fufa) actually died, but that Gopi isn't really their daughter.It could be that their baby died with them, but Urmila found Gopi somewhere and pretended that she was their baby, and Jeetubhai and Rashi don't know about this baby-swap job of Urmila's. If that is the case then maybe the photo Gopi has is of Jeetubhai's actual sister and brother-in-law,
Urmila could have done this baby swapping because she potentially wanted to hide her involvement in their deaths and/or the kidnapping of baby Gopi. Or it could even have been just so that she could have a little servant girl for free. (She wouldn't have to pay a relative and could make out to everyone that she was such a kind woman in giving her orphaned niecea place to live and "looking after" her, but if she hired a girl from outside the family then she would have to pay her, surely. And we all know how much Urmila hates having to spend money when she can avoid it!)
They also made it very clear that Rashi did not see the man with the moustache (she was not interested at all!). Perhaps he is her real uncle and she would recognise him? (If Gopi went missing as a one-year-old then I'm guessing Rashi would have been about two years old at the time, and she would probably be able to recognise people, just like one-year-old Meera can now.) This would mean that they never actually died and that Urmila has been lying to everyone about them being dead the whole time. In the past Urmila has refused to tell Rashi anything about what actually happened on Gopi's birthday, the day her parents supposedly died, so maybe they never really died at all?
Not sure if Dhaval actually saw the moustache man, but he is more distantly related to him (Dhaval is Urmila's brother's son) and he grew up in Mumbai anyway, and he is supposed to be a whole year younger than Rashi, so he would probably not recognise him even if he had seen him. Or he might - you never know with SNS!
If the CVs remember that Gopi had a photo of her parents before (at least, people who she thought were her parents!) then they should get Rashi to look at it and then we can see if Rashi is able to identify the people in it as her aunt and uncle or not.
And they should bring back Jeetubhai from his seemingly-permanent business trip now! His presence could help clear up the whole mystery! And if he were to look at the photo then he would definitely be able to tell if it was of his sister and brother-in-law, even if Rashi cannot because she was too young to remember them at the time they "died"!
Who knows what will actually happen in the show, but what do you guys think?
Any theories on Urmila's involvement in this whole "Gopi-thinking-she-is-an-orphan-her-whole-life-only-to-find-out-she-is-not" drama?
Of course it is possible that everyone, including Urmila, honestly thought that Gopi's parents really had died, but it turns out that they didn't and there was nothing sinister involved at all.
I would just really like to know WHY they are suddenly now changing the thing that shaped Gopi's character the most - her being an orphan.
Seriously, where are they going with this track??? š
