Emmerdale fans have ‘worked out’ who Jai Sharma’s ‘real mum’ is after the DNA bombshell that Rishi isn’t his biological father.
Though Rishi insisted that Georgia is his biological mum, but slept with someone else and got pregnant before marrying Rishi – leading to Jai screaming at his dad for lying to him all these years.
But now doubt has crept in for fans, who think that Jai might not be Georgia’s son after all – and his biological mother could be a lot closer to home than he thinks.

And some viewers are convinced that Rishi’s ex-wife Manpreet could be Jai’s mum after he told her about his true parentage before telling Jai.

Taking to a Reddit thread which asked: “Who do you think Jai’s real parents are?”, one fan wondered: “Is Manpreet old enough to be his real mum? Feels like a twist that they could throw in there…”
While a viewer over on Twitter theorised: “In # Emmerdale am I the only one thinking Manpreet could be Jai’s biological mum? Weird that Rishi told her and could be lying about more than just his dad…”
Somebody else asked: “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?”
“So if Manpreet is Jai’s mum his aunty Meena is in for a shock!” another fan giggled.
“I think Manpreet is his mum!” a fifth social media user echoed, as someone else wrote: “Is Manpreet really Jai’s mum?!”
According to the Emmerdale Wiki page, Manpreet was born in 1973 – just two years before Jai in 1975.
However, it isn’t unusual for a soap to ‘forget’ a character’s initial age to fit in with a storyline.
Other fans have suggested that Georgia is Jai’s biological mum – and Rishi could be about to gain an estranged brother who cheated with her before they married.
One Reddit user said: “Perhaps Rishi will suddenly gain an estranged brother who slept with Rishi’s wife, hence him not being mentioned before?”

“Deffo this one if the spoilers of a long lost cousin who is meant to be Nicky’s new love interest are true,” somebody else agreed.
Another fan echoed: “I wonder if his dad did return and expressed a wish to be part of his child’s life (or see him if he returned after Jai was born) but Rishi paid him to leave. Sounded like he didn’t tell Jai everything.”
One Twitter user posited: “”Bet Jai’s biological dad isn’t just some one night stand but a relative of Rishi’s – brother or cousin?”
While another said: “Rishi is hiding something or someone relative perhaps a brother a bad apple in the family, banished from the family.”
