What was the treasure hidden in the blind couple's house?

The treasure was not diamonds or gold as everyone believed. Behind the painting was a chest containing a compass box, a toy gun, a toy car, and an urn of ashes, the ashes of Sameer and his parents who were killed in a car crash.

Q3

Why did Somnath keep Sameer's death secret from Mangala?

Somnath kept the truth hidden because he and Mangala had been blinded in an accident. When their son learned of their blindness, he traveled to America and lit the pyres of Sameer and his parents, bringing back their ashes. Somnath decided to protect Mangala from the devastating truth, though she later confronted him for denying her the chance to properly mourn her grandson.

He defected to help Gopal's group fight against Babli's gang.

Why did Nirali choose Lucky as her husband?

Foreshadowing: The couple mentions waiting for their grandson Sameer to return and inherit the family treasure.
