Hiya, I too now remember that first meeting between Arti and Meera that you mentioned and how surprised Arti was that Meera looked just like the friend who had linked them up. However, subsequently, both Meera and Arti kept mentioning that it was Arti's boyfriend (of course, they said "lover") who introduced Meera to Arti. So there's a puzzle to be solved. Did the creative team suffer from amnesia and forget along the way that it was a female, Meera-lookalike, and not a male friend, that had linked up the two women? Highly likely.
Srima's theory that Arti might have been able to transform herself into a slightly plumper Meera-like character owing to Singapore food is highly credible. Singapore is known as a gluttons' haven and Singaporeans' favourite past-time is eating. Arti/Meera obviously did not eat what is known as Indian rojak at a food outlet in an area known as Geylang Serai. For if she had, she would have joined some 150 unfortunate people who were hit by food poisoning last week due to the contamination of cooked food with raw food. Two women have died so far. (Rojak, I believe, was the creation of the Indian Muslim community in Malaysia/Singapore.)
