There wouldn't even be a mystery if Vimala Mausi wasn't self-motivated to narrate every detail of the plot to Chandani.
Who sent the warning that Roshani was in danger?
Vimala Mausi.
Whose expert medical opinion is it that forty-year-old Chitra, who spent all her time preparing tasty food, was too young for a heart attack, as if people aren't born with heart murmurs?
Vimala Mausi.
Who feels certain that Chitra only left Sumer because she thought he was rekindling with his ex-fiancée?
Vimala Mausi.
Who is too harmless to cyber-stalk anyone, but still knows that Sumer's ex-fiancée wasn't even in India at the time of the alleged affair?
Vimala Mausi.
Whose idle talk juxtaposes Chitra's departure and death with the threat to Roshani, allowing the listener to infer that the same person is responsible?
Vimala Mausi.
Who is too saintly and humble to make up a mystery to incriminate Sanjot as revenge for Sanjot accusing her of stealing a silver spoon?
Vimala Mausi.
Who is afraid to name outright the person that is obviously a threat to Roshani?
Vimala Mausi.
Who will get credit for playing detective to expose the mystery that Vimala Mausi has already solved?
Chandani, of course!
Who needs no proof to declare that Raunaq loves Chandani and they'll live happily ever after?
Vimala Mausi!
Why did the production house even bother to cast actors to play so many characters, when they could have just put the whole plot into the mouth of Vimala Mausi?
Vimala Mausi is like the sūtradhāra of a classical Thanjavuri Marathi play, the only actor who delivers all the dialogue.
Vimala Mausi: Now, look! The kuṟavañci dancer has arrived! The Chopda sisters bow to her and ask her if they will have fine husbands and happy marriages. (A few verses later ...) The kuṟavañci dancer predicts that Roshani will marry the owner of Veere Da Club! For Chandani, she predicts a husband with a killer chest! She says that after marriage, the sisters will always be together, yet apart!
