Janhvi was an executive assistant who interviewed at Raj's company and was hired. Raj developed feelings for her and left small gifts at her desk to express his affection. When Janhvi did not reciprocate his feelings and went to her car after work, Raj confronted her. During the struggle, he pulled her back by the seatbelt, which accidentally killed her. To protect the company merger and his own career, Raj concealed her body and erased the security footage.

Munni disappeared because Janhvi's ghost took her as part of her revenge against Raj. Janhvi wanted Raj to feel the same grief he caused her by taking his daughter. Munni was ultimately found trapped inside a box sealed with Janhvi's spirit. Raj heard her voice coming from the box and managed to free her, discovering that she had not eaten the nut chocolates left with her, which saved her life despite her allergy.

Leena became possessed by Janhvi's spirit as part of the escalating supernatural attack on Raj's family. After Munni disappeared, the malevolent force that Raj and the exorcist were trying to communicate with revealed itself as Janhvi, not the ghost of Raj's deceased daughter Shreya. The possession allowed Janhvi to directly torment the family and specifically target Raj through his wife, intensifying the psychological warfare meant to make him confront his guilt.

• leena possessed
• spirit possession
• family attacked

The ghost appeared as Shreya initially because the family was grieving their elder daughter's death and the house carried heavy memories of her. However, during the exorcism investigation, it was revealed that the spirit was actually Janhvi, not Shreya. Janhvi likely used the guise of Shreya to manipulate the family's emotions and create psychological distress, or Munni's own grief may have manifested the familiar image of her sister. The twist reveals Raj's hidden guilt as the true source of the supernatural threat.

The nut chocolates were left with Munni as part of Janhvi's deadly game designed to punish Raj for his crime. Munni has a severe nut allergy, and Janhvi trapped her in a coffin with nut-containing chocolates to create a time-sensitive threat - either the child would die from the allergic reaction or die from being trapped. Fortunately, Munni did not eat the chocolates, which is why she survived when Raj finally rescued her.

Foreshadowing: Earlier in the film, Munni's allergy is established as a critical detail.

Raj killed Janhvi during a confrontation in the office parking lot after she rejected his romantic advances. When Janhvi tried to leave in her car, Raj grabbed her seatbelt to pull her back, intending to talk to her. However, the seatbelt tightened around her neck as he pulled, accidentally strangling her. This was not a deliberate murder but a tragic accident that Raj then tried to cover up by hiding her body and deleting CCTV footage to protect the company merger.

Janhvi targeted Munni specifically to make Raj experience the same devastating loss he caused her. Since Raj's careless action killed Janhvi and deprived her parents of their daughter, Janhvi wanted Raj and his wife Leena to feel that same unbearable grief. By taking Munni and trapping her with deadly conditions, Janhvi sought revenge through causing Raj to lose his remaining child, replicating the pain his actions had already caused another family.

Janhvi was Raj's executive assistant at his company. Raj hired her after she came for an interview, and he became romantically attracted to her. He began leaving small gifts at her desk to signal his growing affection. However, Janhvi did not share his feelings. When Raj asked her to forward an important email on the eve of a company merger, he also confronted her about her distance and the gifts, leading to the confrontation that resulted in her death.

The exorcist worked with Raj to communicate with the spirit possessing Leena and terrorizing the family. Through séances and spiritual communication, they uncovered that the ghost was not Shreya but Janhvi, and learned about Raj's guilt over her death. The exorcist helped Raj understand that Janhvi was seeking revenge and guided him to locate Munni by following the supernatural clues, ultimately leading to the box where Munni was trapped.

Raj covered up Janhvi's death to protect the upcoming company merger and his own future. After accidentally killing her, he panicked and hid her body, then deleted the CCTV footage from the security cameras. This allowed the merger to proceed without scandal and preserved Raj's reputation and career, but it also meant Janhvi's death went uninvestigated and her spirit returned to seek vengeance.

• merger protection
• corporate crime

Munni was safe because she never ate the nut chocolates that Janhvi left with her in the box. Despite being trapped in a coffin-like box with chocolates containing nuts - which would have triggered her severe allergy - Munni did not consume them. This detail is revealed when Raj finally opens the box and realizes she survived because she resisted eating the chocolates, either due to fear or her parents' prior warnings about not eating unknown food.
