SHT | QNA |

Q1.

I just sometimes get confused among the characters.. Hinduja has a right hand Bakhtawar who's sister was with Vijaypath who died then with Dev we have Karim Bhai who's wife was killed n he has a girl in Dehradun? His daughter? And there's Gurung for Inu's security.. Kadambini is one of the girl in front of Gulmohar tree? And how is Manoramaa and his brother related to them? I forgot the family's name they were searching in some Shimla resort if I'm not wrong (Purohits?)

Ans :

Hinduja's assistant (or right hand as you call it) Bakhtawar Hussain is actually a man who is working for Mahadevan. He is a spy or shadow as Mahadevan likes to call him. When Hinduja was in college, Mahadevan had initially installed Aisha Muhammed (Karim Khan's wife) as Hinduja's guard/shadow/spy. During that incident with Banu that night, the tiffin center owner who used to r*pe and beat his wife and daughters ( Hinduja had somehow found out about his barbaric torture on his wife and daughters and that had caused her to complain about him to the police. So, when Banu got caught, he wanted revenge. Mahadevan's actions was being watched by the 'Vultures' at this time so when they found out that he was providing protection to some girl in a college in Kerala, they searched and zeroed down on Banu and helped him escape prison so that he could kill/attack Hinduja in order to weaken Mahadevan.) Aisha tried her level best to fight and protect Hinduja that night. Alas, in the end Karim followed up with Aisha's funeral in Kerala itself. Then Mahadevan installed Jason Chacko in Aisha's place. He has been a part of chapters 35 & 51; that idiot disguised as Bhanu Pratap Khan. And finally when Hinduja joined civil services, and Vijaypath chose Bakhtawar as Hinduja's assistant, Mahadevan zeroed down on him and offered him to spy on/ guard Hinduja for him. Bakhtawar agreed, because Mahadevan had manipulated him into believing that Hinduja was in some kind of danger.

As for Karim's wife, as I said before, her name was Aisha Muhammed. She is there in a flashback chapter (Ch 44) and her name has been mentioned a number of times in many chapters. And yes, they have a daughter called Asiya who is roughly 16/17 in the current timeline of SHT (2023). She is studying in a boarding school in Dehradun.

Gurung, short for, Amar Gurung, is another member of Mahadevan's chief security team, along with Manoramaa Pandit and Karim Khan (Bakhtawar Hussain and Jason Chacko too, in some way). Gurung mostly looks after the technical aspect of the Dogra security unit, along with tailing/guarding Hinduja on Mahadevan's orders. Additionally, I don't know how many of the readers remember this, but as mentioned in chapter 35, Gurung's niece was also one of the many victims. She was gangr*ped and murdered by the enemy side.

The pigtails girl/Gulmohar girl is Kadambini Purohit. Her parents, as mentioned, are Keshav Purohit and Nalini Purohit (The infamous 'Purohits' who used to live in the Purohit Villa). And no, Bakhtawar was not searching for them in some 'resort' in Shimla. It was some property actually, according to the Brochure that he and Hinduja found out in the Purohit Vila (Although, it was Bakhtawar himself, who had left that Brochure in the villa on Mahadevan's orders, as revealed in chapter 61).

Manoramaa Pandit's brother Tejas Pandit, who is in a vegetative state from the last 10 years, is connected to this whole web, not directly but indirectly. How, and why? Well, I can't reveal that. You will get to know that later.

Q2.

I don't understand the last dairy entry.

Ans :

The last diary entry ( from 2021) is about Mahadevan recounting his memories about the woman who SA-ed him. It's not Shivalika, his dead ex-wife. It's someone else. And to clear it all out, Anirudh is Mahadevan's child with that woman who had SA-ed him when he was in a comatose state and it's due to this reason that he says that he found it difficult to even look at Anirudh (then, a five month old baby).

Shivalika, on the other hand was pregnant with someone else's child at that same time. Mahadevan was in a comatose state twice, first due to a fatal accident (conspiracy). It was during this time, that he got SA-ed. He couldn't move, speak or do anything that showed that he was conscious but unknown to anyone, he had gained consciousness from mind after sometime, so he could feel, hear and sense things and that caused him to feel and sense everything when that woman SA-ed him. Since, his eyes were closed, and he couldn't open them, he couldn't see who she was, so he thought that it was Shivalika. When he came out of that comatose state for the first time, he saw that Shivalika was pregnant, and that forced him to believe that indeed it was Shivalika who had SA-ed him and that the child inside her womb was his child. It was later he got to know that Shivalika was not 'that' woman, plus she was not carrying his child.

He also found out that woman's identity, and the fact that she was pregnant with his child. But immediately after, he faced another fatal attack due to drug overdose. Well, due to that, he went into a second phase of coma. He had faced many attacks in between too. It was after he got conscious the second time, did he see and touch five month old Anirudh for the first time. Shivalika, Karim, Manoramaa, and Gurung were taking care of Anirudh during this time. After Mahadevan got up, the divorce situation followed up and then, eventually Shivalika's death. As for what happened to her child and how did she die in reality, well, you will get to know that later.

Q3.

If Kadambini is the girl from dev's diary entries then what is the connection with Hinduja then?

Ans :

Kadambini Purohit is the girl from Mahadevan's diary entries - the pigtails girl/ Gulmohar girl. As for her connection with Hinduja, just know that she, Hinduja and Mahadevan, they are deeply connected. How and why? To know that, just continue reading the story. All your doubts will be cleared.

Q4.

Author, tbh now the story really confuses me , I couldn't find the link with the characters.

Like why Inu's and Dev's goals are almost alike? How did Dida died and with whose child she was pregnant? What are the secrets of Dogra family? I know there will be something very big reveal.

Ans :

Their goals are almost alike because they are both hunting for 'two sides of the same coin' (You will know the meaning of this phrase later).

Darshana Dogra/ Didaa died because she was r*ped and murdered brutally. She was pregnant with her husband's child (the man she got married to; not Jaidev). As for the secrets of the Dogra family, I can't reveal them. You will have to read the story further to know all these things. And yes, there will be a big reveal. Just be a little patient.

Q5.

When was the first time Hinduja met/saw Anirudh or felt that motherly pull towards him? And if question is anyway related to a plot twist then don't answer.

Ans :

To answer this question, I would just like to clear the fact that Anirudh is not Hinduja's biological child (Because, my gut feeling says that that's what you wanted to know but couldn't ask directly. I could be wrong as well) . As for the other things, you will come to know them later.

Q6.

Hello author. Please can you clarify the characters or the relations of them with main leads. As I am in deep reading state and some character comes out of nowhere and I will going back to the before chapter l know this may be dumb but please try to clarify it if you can. And will it be the last meet if Dida and dev before she goes to states or have they met?

Ans :

This is a very extensive and complicated question. Please specify the names of characters whose relation you want to know with the main leads. I will answer in the comment section. Honestly, I can't really answer this question in entirety until the story ends, because this whole web constitutes of multiple faces and victims.

Secondly, yes, that was the last meet between Mahadevan and Darshana before she left for the US and he left for college. I mean, obviously they met again, but only after she returned from the US.

Q7.

Hey author, Can you pls give little more details of Kadambini Purohit? Like how she and Mahadevan are related also her and Inu's relation if that's not a spoiler?

Ans:

Kadambini Purohit is one of the main characters in SHT. She is a mystery, but just in case you have missed it before, it was mentioned many times in some chapters of Part I and Part II that she was Keshav Purohit and Nalini Purohit's daughter. In a chapter of part I it is also mentioned that she had slipped from the Purohit house terrace. That had caused her death and also crushed her face, because she had crashed on a big rock, face down. Her death is also one of those things that Hinduja is investigating in private. Prosanta Tamang and Lekha Tamang used to work in the Purohit Villa as cook and maid respectively (before this, Lekha used to work in the Bohra mansion) and Lekha's daughter Chitra was Kadambini's best friend.

As for Kadambini connection with the others, just know that she has a deep connection with Hinduja and Mahadevan.

Q8.

Can you please tell who were those 'two idiots' whom Hinduja mentioned in Chapter 60 and why did she suspect them of killing the fifth person without giving any spoiler?

Ans :

No, I can't reveal who they are. As for why Hinduja suspected them of killing the fifth person, well that's because they are on her side. Just like Mahadevan has people on his side, she has 'them' on her side.

Q9.

Was Dev ever a drug addict or was he forced to consume drugs because of which he went into coma?

Ans :

No, he was never a drug addict and neither was he forced to consume drugs. It was a conspiracy. As for how did he ingest drugs in such high quantities, you will know that later.

Q10.

How is that Kerala orphanage connected with this case?

Ans :

Well, you get to know that through Hinduja, not me.

Hehe XD

Q11.

Is the Sassoon family going to play any important role in future?

Ans :

Important?

Extremely important, to be specific.

Q12.

There were four girls, including Kadambini who is the pigtails girl under the tree, right? I think it was mentioned in one scene only. One was Chitra I think, the one who was pregnant. Another girl was also mentioned if I remember and there's no mention of the fourth girl till now. Is it correct? It's just there are so many characters and I am very bad with name so can't remember.

Ans :

There were four girls - Kadambini Purohit (Pigtails/Gulmohar girl), Hinduja Rao, Chitra Tamang (She was pregnant) and the fourth girl (Will be revealed towards the climax).

Q13.

A. Why did Mahadevan get soo angry at Hinduja when she didn't tell him she was being followed when Bakhtawar would have told him about all that?

Ans :

Bakhtawar is Mahadevan's man, so he did inform Mahadevan that someone was tailing Hinduja but he didn't tell Mahadevan who that person was who was tailing her, because he himself didn't know this fact at that time (that Kalki's men were following her). And the day, he and Hinduja finally got to know that those were Kalki's men who were tailing her, he couldn't inform Mahadevan about it. And the very next day that argument happened between the husband and wife in his office. So, basically, Mahadevan was angry and scared because he knew that someone was tailing her but he didn't knew that it was Kalki who was tailing her. It stemmed from the fact that things were not in his control for some time, and that could have been fatal for her. And, he did act a bit too.

If you notice and recollect things now, that night when they were searching for Hinduja, in chapters 27 to 29, Mahadevan acted as if was meeting Bakhtawar for the first even, even in front of Karim, Manoramaa and Gurung.

(Man is well versed in Oscar winning acting). XD

B. Is this why Bakhtawar is called 'The Shadow' in his character aesthetic? And it was Bakhtawar who told Mahadevan about the trackers?

Ans :

Yes! The fact that Bakhtawar spies on Hinduja or 'shadows' her under Mahadevan's command is the reason why he is called 'The shadow' in his character aesthetics.

C. Hinduja once talked about some story of three birds. Who are those three birds? Is she one of them?

Ans :

Four girls?

&

Three birds?

Noticed any links? 👀 You can connect the dots if you want.

Also, if you noticed from the chapter 29 - Under The Rainy Night Sky, Hinduja mentioned about only three birds in front of Mahadevan, just like the identity of the fourth girl has not been revealed yet.

Q14.

A. When Bakhtawar was there with her during that villa thing and would have told him all what happened why did Devan follow them?

Ans :

Because, he wanted to 'see something' through his own eyes 👀 (What? Why? You will get to know later).

B. And since Devan has put Bakhtawar as her assistant, then why did he react soo possessively when she returned home that night?

Ans :

The level of comfort, and trust he observed between Bakhtawar and Hinduja that night, highly irked him. He didn't like it, hence that reaction. He is anyway, a territorial man, so even though, Bakhtawar works for him, Mahadevan doesn't exactly likes his presence around Hinduja.

C. How did Devan come to know that Hinduja went to meet Shera when Bakhtawar wasn't there with her?

Ans :

Simple! Momo lover Gurung. 😂

Mahadevan has all sorts of tricks up his sleeves. So, what if Bakhtawar was not there with her that morning, Gurung would have followed her around. 🤷‍♀️

Q15.

Does it mean that Dev is linked to Inu's aim? That is why her getting closer to her aim is stepping closer to Dev? Dev knew that they were going to get married in a year? Was it planned?

Ans :

Well, a little complicated situation here, but yes, he planned the married thingy. And yes, he is linked to her in many ways. And what he meant when he said that 'her getting closer to her aim is basically stepping closer to him' is the fact that Dev was living in Delhi then (still is) and she was in Odisha in 2021. And her aim was/is related to the Maia's month case, which is based in Delhi. So, to get closer to her aim, she had to step in Delhi, which is where he lives. You get it? Getting closer to her aim (The case which is based in Delhi) is equivalent to getting closer to him (lives in Delhi). That's what he meant in a twisted way.

PS : That man and his words are always mystical and twisted, I know. You will have think very deeply to understand the actual meaning behind his words.

Q16.

But how did he (Mahadevan) come to know of our cutie potato (Anirudh)?

Ans:

man like him who can keep track of a girl living thousands of kilometers away from him in Kerala, you think it will be hard for him to find out about his biological child?

Moreover, the moment, he came to know that it was not Shivalika who had SA-ed him but that other woman (including her identity), he immediately connected the dots and pulled up a few strings to know whether the child inside that woman's womb was his or not. That's how he came to know that that woman was pregnant with his child.

Then, when, that second comatose phase fiasco happened and he finally woke up for the second time, he didn't have to struggle more because Anirudh was already five months old at that time and around him, being taken care of by Shivalika, Karim, Manoramaa and Gurung.

***

There are many facts in this QNA that are supposed to be explained again, later on in the story, but since, most of you were so confused, I answered them here itself, because, those facts were not giving away any spoilers anyway, plus they will be explained again later on (Especially, answers of question 1 and few more.)

Also, I know for a matter of fact that many Einsteins and Newtons reading SHT are going to skip this QNA, so who cares? 🤷‍♀️

Lassi banaao apne dimaag ki, confusions paal ke. Mainu ki farak pendaa hai, maine toh Biryani aur dawaai khaake so jaana hai. 🤷‍♀️
