Shruti proposes the fake abduction because she wants to extort money from her father Chandrasekhar, whom she resents for his materialistic corporate world and for neglecting her. She reveals to Vikram that she shares his distrust of her father's values. The plan allows her to get her share of the hidden family wealth and escape to Australia, while also getting revenge on her father.

Earlier, Shruti tells Vikram she distrusts her father's materialistic world, hinting at her deeper resentment.

Shruti is actually Sanjana, the twin sister of Chandrasekhar's daughter. Years before the story, Sanjana accidentally killed her twin sister (the real Shruti) while trying to stop her from taking drugs. She fled home and adopted the name Shruti, living separately from her father.

The mysterious woman Vikram meets at the beach house is never clearly connected to Chandrasekhar until the revelation.

Chandrasekhar frames Vikram to protect his family's reputation and his own image. When the truth about his daughter's death emerges, Chandrasekhar orchestrates events to make it appear that Vikram kidnapped and killed his daughter. This allows Chandrasekhar to avoid scandal and maintain his respectable public image, shifting all blame to an outsider.

Chandrasekhar's visible distress at his daughter's public embarrassment hints at his desperation to control family narratives.

Chandrasekhar had two daughters - Sanjana and Shruti, twins. Sanjana (who later posed as Shruti) accidentally killed her sister Shruti while trying to prevent her from taking drugs. Sanjana fled home out of guilt. When Chandrasekhar discovered what happened, he chose to cover up his daughter's death rather than report it, using the tragedy to manipulate events against Vikram later.

The news reports a body resembling Chandrasekhar's daughter early in the story, creating confusion that later gets resolved.

Vikram agrees for two main reasons: first, his professional pride is wounded when Chandrasekhar gives the theme park project to a more experienced manager instead of him despite his months of work. Second, he feels humiliated by the public rejection. Shruti's proposition offers both revenge against Chandrasekhar and a way to get quick money, appealing to Vikram's belief that stepping into illegality is acceptable if he doesn't get caught.

Vikram's earlier vandalism of Chandrasekhar's beach house shows his willingness to act on his anger.

At the warehouse, the truth finally emerges: Shruti is actually Sanjana, the daughter who supposedly died years ago. Chandrasekhar had orchestrated the entire situation to frame Vikram and protect his reputation. Sanjana, realizing her father never loved her and had welcomed her supposed death, murders Chandrasekhar in cold blood to exact her revenge.

The earlier revelation about Sanjana's true identity at Vikram's apartment sets up this final confrontation.

Sanjana kills Chandrasekhar because she finally understands the truth about her father - he never loved her and had actually welcomed her death to preserve the family's reputation. After years of neglect and realizing he would rather frame an innocent man than acknowledge what truly happened to his daughters, Sanjana sees murder as the only fitting revenge for his betrayal and cruelty.

Chandrasekhar's manipulation to frame Vikram rather than accept responsibility reveals his true character to Sanjana.

After Chandrasekhar is killed and Sanjana takes over the company, she hires Vikram as the project leader for the theme park project - the same position he was denied at the beginning. This marks a twisted completion of his original professional goal, though he achieves it through participating in crime, kidnapping, and now an alliance with his accomplice.

Vikram's original ambition was to lead the theme park project, which drives much of his early motivation.

Chandrasekhar approves the theme park project but insists a more experienced manager lead it because he wants to maintain control while also keeping Vikram close enough to execute his later manipulation. This condition effectively robs Vikram of credit for his work and fuels his anger, making him more receptive to Shruti's criminal proposal.

The condition appears to be a business decision but is later revealed as part of Chandrasekhar's manipulation.

Shruti and Sanjana are twin sisters, both daughters of Chandrasekhar. The real Shruti died years before the story begins when Sanjana tried to stop her from taking drugs. Sanjana then assumed her sister's identity and name, living under the false identity of Shruti to escape her past and her father's judgment.

The daughter who storms into Chandrasekhar's office is actually Sanjana (posing as Shruti), while the real Shruti is already dead.
