@ all: Hello 🤗
I caught the repeat of the episode a while ago. And, this time around, certain things hit me about the caller.
MSK asked the caller about the identity of the person in the photograph. Obviously, the caller sent a photograph, that did not show the face of the person Geet was with, for a reason. MSK's response was exactly what the caller was hoping for. So, we can surmise that the caller knew that MSK was unaware that Dev was at the hospital, much less that he donated blood. Well, several people know this. And that would provide us a list of suspects.
When MSK met the caller in person, in response to the latter's demand for money, MSK told him that had nothing to do with Dev. The caller questioned MSK as to what Dev was doing at his house, if that were indeed the case. Obviously, the caller knew the Khuranas' history. He knew that the relations between MSK and Dev were strained. He knew that Dev had been ousted from the Khurana Mansion. He knew that MSK would not pay off any alleged *debt* to save Dev. Well, we could actually put all of that down to common knowledge.
Now, this question was followed by a rhetorical outburst from MSK, a direction from MSK to the caller to get to the point and an offer of money for the information. Note that MSK was willing to pay money, not to save Dev, but to find out what Dev's true intentions were, to find out whether Dev was blackmailing Geet. This is per his earlier self-thoughts in the parking lot.
In return for the money, the caller handed over the second photograph to MSK. He told MSK that his wife could tell him the rest of the story and to ask her what she was doing with his brother.
Clearly, the intention was to create a rift between Maan and his Geet.
Now, if the intention is to create a rift, does it not hinge on an assumption that Geet will not disclose the truth to Maan and that Maan will be left doubting his wife?
Let's examine the conduct of the likely suspects.
- Arjun is threatening to disclose the truth to Maan. If his threats are real and not a red herring, that should rule him out.
- Grandma has given her assent to Geet to disclose the truth to Maan. If that is true, it would rule her out.
- NES does not want Arjun to disclose the truth to Maan. Hmm ... a new suspect? A woman suffering from unrequited love, whose life has been wrecked by a man who holds Maan and Geet responsible for his sister's condition.
- Dev has asked Geet not to disclose the truth to Maan. He has also asked NES not to disclose the truth to Maan. Of course, unknown to him, others too know of the blood donation. Is he the most likely suspect?
I wonder if we will see this caller again. Well, we'll wait and watch. Hopefully, today's episode should throw some further light on this.
