I can't help but wonder at Satrupa's motive in finding Anami and in reinstating her as heir.
I mean, this is the same mother who pulled the trigger on her own head after Vatsalya's loss - because she had nothing to live for. And she knows why she's lost her son: for the Royal Steel inheritance, etc. Any sane mother would surely (now that Baldev has separated himself from her, well verbally) hold on to her surviving child and hide her from certain death.
But instead, there goes Satrupa's to dig out her daughter from safety and drag her into certain danger... All for what? If the killers could get to her beloved son, they can surely get to her daughter.
And then what... She'll be left with less than nothing!!
Unless of course Vatsalya is still alive but in a coma or suchlike, and she wants to safeguard the fortune for him for when he returns.
Or unless it is to prevent the inheritance from falling into the hands of Avdhoot and Pujans clan. So revenge then... Stronger than love?!?
Or unless she wants to resuscitate her almost dead marriage... But is that more important than the life of her surviving child?!!
Or unless the gurus diktat is absolute... And we know it's not otherwise Satrupa would have given up her son those many years ago.
Either way, I am yet to come to terms with her motive. One thing seems a little clearer, that Amani is little more than a pawn to her at this point.
Concern for Anami must have warred with her lust for power, money, or revenge or blind obedience to her Guru in that endless night. But it fell short somewhere. Which is why Anami is fronted now into the fray.
I have to confess I am intrigued as I wait for the motive to unfold.
