Nancy's engagement to another man chosen by her father was revealed as part of her calculated plan. Her marriage to Roopesh was not legitimate in her eyes, it was part of the scheme to reclaim the ransom money.

Tommy initiated the entire crisis by calling Nancy's father and alleging that his daughter was dating someone from college. This false accusation planted doubt in the father's mind.

These manipulations led directly to the father offering money, Roopesh demanding the one crore sum, and the subsequent chain of events that defined the film's tragedy.

Foreshadowing: The father's initial response was trusting and dismissive, but his doubts 'began to grow as worry took hold' after the first call.
