Emmerdale viewers are convinced that they know the real reason why Rishi hid Jai’s adoption secret for so long.
Last night it should have been a happy day for Jai as he just got engaged to Laurel, but things took a turn for the worst as he found out he was adopted after he found adoption papers that showed Rishi was not his biological father.
During tonight’s episode of the ITV hit soap Laurel was worried that Jai would turn back to drugs as a way to cope but he lashed out at Rishi.

Jai told Rishi that he’d found the adoption papers but Rishi insisted that he hid the news for his best interest and it was “just a piece of paper.”
Rishi insisted that Jai’s mum is his mum, and gave birth to him and his father was mistaken for a mistaken one night stand.
Rishi explained that Jai’s biological father had vanished before he was born. Jai was still not happy and claimed that Rishi was keeping something back from him.
He wanted to call his mum but Rishi advised against it. Jai’s mum, Georgia left the village in 2015 after she had an affair with Rodney Blackstock.
The fact that Rishi didn’t want to ring Georgia, it made Jai even more suspicious and fans have now rushed straight to Twitter to share their theories as they claim there is more to the story.

While @VictoriaMuzz added: “#Emmerdale If Rishi married Jay's Mum when she was pregnant, why not just put his name on the b/certificate? Why adopt him? Must be more to who the bio father is.”
