Fans of Emmerdale have predicted that Jai Sharma’s real mother is already living in the village, following shock revelations about his parentage this week. Having learned that he was, in fact, adopted, Jai was left reeling.
But who is Jai’s ‘real’ mother and father? A number of Emmerdale fans think that we might already know.
Jai left reeling amidst adoption shock
This week’s Emmerdale revealed that Jai is not the biological child of Rishi Sharma. Discovering an adoption document amongst a box of papers, Jai confronted his father.
As Rishi attempted to make excuses, Jai exploded, sending Rishi out of the house in a fit of rage. His betrayal was compounded when he learned that Manpreet also knew that he had been adopted.
Amidst this series of crushing revelations, viewers shared a theory that there might be another shock in store for Jai.

Writing as the episode aired, a number of fans shared their theories and reactions on Twitter. Many wondered whether Manpreet could be more involved than simply ‘knowing the truth’ about Jai.
“Jai just didn’t listen to Rishi, he said Manpreet had known for years. Was he trying to tell him something? Is she his mum?” asked one fan.

Could Manpreet actually be Jai’s mother? At present, it seems as though only Rishi’s parentage is in doubt and Jai’s mum, Georgia is his mum. Plus, Manpreet and Jai are pretty similar ages – she was always much younger than Rishi.
