100% agree. This is the 2nd time a attempt was made on Vatsala and the last succeeded. We haven't even been shown the body.
This reminds me of Salman Prem Ratan where the king was in a coma.
I think Vatsala is alive but is in a coma or his mum does not want to reveal the truth. She probably realises that whoever is doing it has inside knowledge. To find out who, protect her son, she will declare her son dead to the world, after Satarupa even killed for her sons sake.
However Satarupa is in a condrum, if the world believes Vatsala is dead then the heir will fall to the younger chachu son or even Natoram and she does not know who she can trust so she won't reveal her deepest secret.
There Anami enters the picture as the potential hieress. Satarupa will use Anami presence to destract everyone but allow her to quietly investigate but at the same time, protect Vatsala inheritance.
It is Satarupa selfish reason she will use Anami and Anami is right to hate her bio mom.
Unless they show Vatsala dead body being cremated, his still alive.
