Shakeela is identical to Gadgi Moi because Daksha Bhai orchestrated this resemblance deliberately. Gadgi Moi, Daksha's sister, is a cruel upper-caste leader sentenced to death for orchestrating massacres against lower-caste communities. Daksha needs a stand-in for his grandmother's last rites to maintain his family's reputation, so he arranged to have Shakeela kidnapped to impersonate Gadgi.
