Shruti’s strange reaction at Virat not losing his job makes me think that this whole thing is a setup by Sada/Shruti. Hear me out.
Virat is supposed to be the best of the best in his department. And we know based on the mall incident that Sada and his people are planning something big. The only way to discredit Virat would be on personal basis because professionally he is perfect.
So they plan this whole thing. He fakes his death and takes a promise from Virat knowing that it will ruin him. Shruti plays along. Notice, how easily she left. None of his comrades even came looking for her. She pretended to care about Sai & Virat’s relationship but has caused more harm. And she hasn’t quite mourned Sara’s death. Quite possibly because she knows he isn’t dead.
But now if Virat still has his job, they’ll need a plan B. Which is where Sai’s kidnapping will come in. Virat will see the true faces of his friend and friend’s wife. Figure out he was duped. Save Sai. Save the nation. Somewhere in there Sai and Virat will confess their love for each other. It’ll be an explosive confession that’ll raise the TRPs. And, and after that we’ll get the real, real wedding. So even higher ratings. It would make sense why the entire team is so confident about the show considering the hate they’ve been getting. Just my thoughts.
