Now i'v a doubt. If that lady, to whom Valmikiji introduced Sitaji and gave her the responsibility to look after Sita ji, knew that it was Sita ji then why did they shw in the old Ramayan that when Sitaji reveal her indenitiy to LuvKush she gets surprised and so did Luv Kush. (Ofcourse, Luv and Kush didnt know that they were the sons of Sita-Ram, only after the Rajsua-yug).
Did you say the other ppl living in the aashram also knw that she was their queen?

The previous serial was not based on Valmiki. The first part of the serial - from episode 3 (after Manthara's apology) centered around Kaagbhushandi, which is a character in the Tulsidas version of the Uttarkand, which has nothing about Rama's reign, Sita's exile or Kush-Luv in it.
That Ramayan was based primarily on the Adhyatma Ramayan, and bits of the Ananda Ramayan, which is why they had that. In Valmiki, there's no Vandevi either, yet there they had that. That serial was very different from Valmiki's Ramayan. Better than the current one in terms of a credible storyline, but still very different.
Also, Kush & Luv aren't kept in the dark about their identity, although they are asked to keep it from Lakshman, and only reveal who their Guru is when offered the 18000 coins. It's only after they had finished everything upto that point that Rama asked them who they were, and they responded that they were Sita's kids (not, as the previous serial showed, as Rama's kids, which led him to ask such crass questions such as prove their parentage - I hope they don't repeat that 🤬 here).
