1
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,240
[Indrani] Yeah,
let me just show you a few photos.
2
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:29,760
That's little Sheena.
3
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,760
She's cute, isn't she? Very, very cute.
4
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,800
The happiest years in my life
5
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:49,400
were when I had
all the three kids together with me.
6
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,200
I mean,
I've loved all my children, you know.
7
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:55,440
Here, this is in fact--
8
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:56,760
This is Mekhail and me,
9
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,120
I can't remember now where,
on a holiday together.
10
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,720
[Mekhail] The truth is
that's not a family holiday trip.
11
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,720
This photograph is of… 2005.
12
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:14,960
This is the first time,
13
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,520
after my birth, I met Indrani.
14
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,840
[eerie music playing]
15
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,560
[Mekhail] Indrani called us
to Kolkata to meet her
16
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:27,920
in a five-star hotel.
17
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,520
She started to tell us,
18
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,400
"I'll help you financially
for your further education, "
19
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,440
and also take care of her parents,
my grandparents,
20
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,440
under one condition.
21
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,080
That we do not call her mother.
22
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,520
We must call her our elder sister
in front of everyone.
23
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,280
[camera shutter clicking]
24
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,640
[Mekhail] "You need financial aid,
I'm gonna help you. "
25
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,160
"But you have to maintain this secrecy. "
26
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,960
The main reason she told us was
27
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,200
that the person she is married to now,
28
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,360
Peter Mukerjea,
is a very famous personality.
29
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,920
He is very rich and a powerful person.
30
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,800
And she doesn't want anything
from her past
31
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:10,520
to cause trouble to that.
32
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:12,280
[camera shutter clicking]
33
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,080
[eerie music continues]
34
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,000
[Mekhail] Then she said,
"I have one more daughter. "
35
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,840
"She also shouldn't know you are my kids. "
36
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:25,960
She didn't want the world to know
37
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,400
she had two more kids.
38
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,680
On the flight back, Sheena and I,
39
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,960
we were devastated.
40
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,000
[tense music playing]
41
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:46,960
[sniffles]
42
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:54,720
That's when our grandparents
43
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,080
explained to us that,
44
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,280
"This is your chance…
45
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,080
to think about yourself. "
46
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:11,480
We all decided that, for our betterment,
we would accept the deal.
47
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,400
Maybe getting on that plane
was the wrong idea.
48
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,320
Then maybe Sheena would still be with me.
49
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,360
[music intensifies]
50
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,200

00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,000

[ominous music playing]
54
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,240
{\an8}[Rahul] Just hear me out,
the story keeps changing.
55
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,000
{\an8}And there's, you know,
there's something fishy going on.
56
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,920
But I want to ask you something, right?
57
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,000
{\an8}Now, I need you to be honest
with me, right?
58
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,480
{\an8}[Peter]
Ask me, ask me, ask me…
59
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,400
{\an8}[Rahul] Because if I get to know
later on down the line that you guys
60
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,200
did know something
about what was happening,
61
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,080
then that'll really hurt me.
That'll really--
62
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,600
[Peter] Darling, I promise you,
cross my heart, swear to die.
63
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:07,360
Listen, cross my heart, swear to die.
I'm not telling you anything…
64
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,600
I'm not making up anything,
and I'm not telling you anything
65
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,200
that I do not know.
66
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,360
[tense music playing]
67
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:16,960
[news anchor 1]
It's been almost a year
68
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,400
since the sensational
Sheena Bora murder case came to light.
69
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,960
There have been many twists
and turns as well.
70
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,680
But nothing as sensational
and as shocking as this.
71
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,520
[news anchor 2] CBI booked
media magnate Peter Mukerjea
72
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,360
for conspiracy in the murder.
73
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,000
While they've spoken
about this conspiracy,
74
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,680
what wasn't public till now was just
75
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,760
why the CBI has
charge sheeted Peter Mukerjea,
76
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:41,720
why they have arrested him.
77
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:44,080
[news anchor 1]
Twenty exclusive audio tapes!
78
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,280
[news anchor 3]
Conversations you can clearly hear,
79
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,520
how Peter and Indrani
were misleading Rahul,
80
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,640
thereby indicating a coverup.
81
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,280
[news anchor 4]
In fact, these are conversations
82
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,920
which had been recorded by Rahul
83
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,920
around 2012, the time that Sheena Bora
had in fact gone missing.
84
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,240
[eerie music playing]
85
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,640
[news anchor 5]
Rahul himself provided
86
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,400
the clinching evidence against his father,
Peter Mukerjea, to the CBI,
87
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,800
which is believed to have led
to the former media baron's arrest.
88
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,080
[indistinct chatter]
89
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,320
[reporter 1] Did you tell
the CBI that your father knew?
90
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,200
{\an8}[reporter 2] Do you think
your father is innocent?
91
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:23,120
{\an8}I can't give the reasons at the moment,
92
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,160
{\an8}because I don't want to compromise
the case, which is being investigated.
93
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,000
But, needless to say,
my father is innocent.
94
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,080
I'm pretty sure of that.
95
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,320
I'm certain of that.
96
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,840
[Indrani] Peter writes a letter to me,
97
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,160
just a day before my birthday,
98
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,440
where he says that,
"I am… I am praying for you,
99
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,800
that you are going to be able
to prove your innocence. "
100
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,560
And, you know, "I am your Romeo, "
and "Like Romeo and Juliet,
101
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,760
we are going to meet
and all of this is going to be over. "
102
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,880
And the next day,
on 5th January 2016,
103
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,120
he files a bail application
104
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:04,200
saying that Indrani must have done it all
and I am not aware of it.
105
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,480
{\an8}[reporter 1] Peter now says it was
his wife, Indrani, who hatched the plan
106
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,240
{\an8}and carried out the murder.
107
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,200
[reporter 2] Labeling his wife
"a highly ambitious woman"
108
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:16,880
who was willing to sacrifice
her own children
109
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,200
to achieve her ambitions.
110
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:20,160
[indistinct chatter]
111
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,200
I do not believe
there has been at any point
112
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:29,160
where Peter had ever, ever, ever
asked me, "Where is Sheena?"
113
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:31,360
Ever.
114
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,600
In 2006, Sheena came to Bombay,
115
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,240
when she got admitted to
St. Xavier's College for her university.
116
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,760
I had funded her entire education.
117
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,080
I did feel that she was a lot like me.
118
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,600
She looks like me.
119
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,840
Even from a personality point of view,
120
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:02,080
she's strong, she's very strong.
121
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,080
[eerie music playing]
122
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,600
[Indrani] She's also very ambitious
like me, extremely ambitious.
123
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,920
Which was another reason
I got her to Bombay.
124
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,000
I thought it would give her
a better platform
125
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,200
if she was in a bigger city
and got to meet more people.
126
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,600
And she had the potential
because she's bright.
127
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:26,840
Everything was fine. We were a really,
really happy family together.
128

-[camera shutter clicking]
-[eerie music concludes]
129
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,880
[Vidhie] She was living at home
in Marlow, in the guest room.
130
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:40,040
{\an8}That's when we cultivated this really
beautiful bond.
131
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,080
Me and her just became so close
that we did everything together.
132
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,040
[soft dramatic music playing]
133
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,640
[Vidhie] Ironically, we were like sisters.
You know, it was-- it was so lovely.
134
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,720
-[soft dramatic music fades]
-[rain pattering]
135
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,680
[Indrani] And this is Sheena
and Mekhail in Germany.
136
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:02,680
Can you see?
137
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:06,800
Nice memories.
138
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,680
Then there is…
139
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,120
Mekhail and Sheena, I think,
this is in Disney World.
140
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,120
[interviewer] Were you
with them on these trips?
141
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,160
[Indrani] These trips? No.
142
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,960
When they went for these trips,
I was so, so caught up with my work.
143
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,600
I was just setting up a media channel,
and a network of media channels.
144
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,600
[tense music playing]
145
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,600
[Abhijit] I saw a big change in her
after she married Peter.
146
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:35,760
{\an8}There was a big change
because she saw success,
147
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,440
{\an8}she saw power, she saw money.
148
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,280
Peter and myself, we were very similar,
nature-wise, you know.
149
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:46,360
Ambition.
150
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,040
Drive, fire in the belly.
151
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,080
[Kaveree] Peter was Rupert Murdoch's man
in India.
152
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,720
He was the head
of a hugely successful channel.
153
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,400
He was the face of Star TV.
154
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,160
Around 2005, 2006,
155
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,760
when Peter becomes disillusioned
with Star,
156
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,640
{\an8}here you have Peter and Indrani
deciding to set up INX media.
157
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,480
[Indrani] I really put my heart and soul
158
00:09:15,560 --> 00:09:17,640
into setting up INX media.
159
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,360
{\an8}When I joined, that was the kind
of buzz around the project.
160
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,920
It was something that was grand.
It was destined for great things.
161
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,320
[tense music continues]
162
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,040
[Rajesh] People would say
that it could be the new CNN or BBC
163
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:33,640
that comes out of India.
164
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:42,400
[Indrani] Whilst everybody wanted
Peter's expertise and the core team,
165
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,400
I think they also wanted a fresh face.
166
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,000
{\an8}I was the face of INX.
167
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,320
Mrs. Indrani Mukerjea,
168
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,000
the CEO of INX Media.

00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,240
A few words, please.
172
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:10,160
Good evening, everybody! On behalf of INX,
I'd like to welcome all of you today.
173
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,960
[tense music playing]
174
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,880
[Kunal] Both Peter and me used to be
competing with each other very strongly.
175
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,160
{\an8}And he also plays golf, which I also did,
176
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:21,840
{\an8}so we became good friends.
177
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,520
I was surprised that Peter named his wife
178
00:10:26,680 --> 00:10:28,400
as the CEO of the company.
179
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,760
I never considered her to be capable
of running this kind of business.
180
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,600
That was one big red flag there.
181
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,960
[Kaveree] Here you have a woman
who doesn't come from pedigree,
182
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,640
who doesn't come from a famous surname.
183
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,560
And I think that
is one of the reasons why,
184
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,000
although she was very much part
of a very powerful couple,
185
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,240
she was always seen as
an outsider.
186
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,880
[camera shutter clicking]
187
00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,520
[Vir] And the Mukerjeas
were very, very clever.
188
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,840
{\an8}They had a PR man whose job was basically
189
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,200
{\an8}to promote Indrani as the greatest
media person in the world.
190
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,680
[camera shutter clicking]
191
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,640
She was somebody
who was very conscious about the image
192
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,920
that the media carried of her,
as a corporate leader.
193
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,520
That is when the Wall Street Journal
starts writing about her.
194
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,280
{\an8}[Abhijit] News came out
that she was amongst
195
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,120
{\an8}the 50 most powerful women in the world.
196
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:22,720
She sent that to me
197
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,920
and told me, "See, Margaret Thatcher's
name is there. "
198
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,280
"My name is there. " So on and so forth.
199
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,960
[Vidhie] They really thrived in
their success and more.
200
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,480
My mother, she's given me everything
I could have asked for.
201
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,200
But to Sheena and Mekhail…
202
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,240
she was a different mother to them, yes.
203
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,000
{\an8}[applause]
204
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,200
{\an8}[Mekhail] At first,
205
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,840
{\an8}Indrani took care of our financial needs.
206
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,240
But gradually, Sheena started feeling
207
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,480
that she was being treated differently
than Vidhie.
208
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,240
They both were daughters.
209
00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:04,600
They were staying in Marlow together.
210
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:07,880
It was very difficult for Sheena
211
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,480
because she couldn't call Indrani "Mom"
in front of anyone.
212
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,680
From her heart,
she wanted to call her "Mom. "
213
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:20,760
Since our childhood…
214
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,440
we have been waiting for that feeling.
215
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,400
And when we found it,
216
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,800
we saw it for someone else.
217
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,520
[Vidhie] We didn't choose
for our life to be this.
218
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:42,360
We didn't choose…
219
00:12:42,680 --> 00:12:45,320
this, all of this, for us,
to happen to us.
220
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,320
And then I found out
my dad got arrested.
221
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:51,480
I was in London.
222
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,880
I locked myself in a room,
223
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,680
and I had a bottle of Jack Daniels,
224
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,800
and I just drank that
and, like, slept for three days.
225
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,240
[somber music playing]
226
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,640
[Vidhie] I felt so alone at that time.
I'll be really honest,
227
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,000
I felt so bloody alone.
228
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:14,520
My dad's side of the family was just
walking around eggshells being like…
229
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:17,880
you know, "Is Vidhie going to betray us?"
230
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,840
"We need to be careful of Vidhie. "
231
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,360
[dramatic music playing]
232
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,920
[Vidhie] I kind of had
no income source, nothing.
233
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,000
You know, the ropes tightened on me.
234
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,920
-[indistinct chatter]
-[camera shutters clicking]
235
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,720
[Vidhie] And I was given
a very clear ultimatum.
236
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,600
"You know, if you're with Indrani,
sorry, we can't help you. "
237
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,280
The more I start to say
more nasty things about my mom,
238
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,480
the more the family accepts me.
239
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,080
And I remember my Aunt Shangon
240
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,440
having this conversation with me,
where she was just like,
241
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,800
"I think you should stop calling
Indrani, like, 'Mom. '"
242
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,200
"And I think you should call
her by her name or, you know, Lucy. "
243
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,000
[chuckles] Lucy is Lucifer.
244
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,000
[tense music playing]
245
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,720
I would've slapped Shangon Das Gupta
246
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,200
if she would've ever
called me Lucy to my face.
247
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:16,400
I would've socked her and taken all
her teeth out. I promise you that.
248
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,960
And I would do it now
if she ever dared to call me that.
249
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,040
I told myself, "I can't miss my mom.
She's not my mom. "
250
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,960
And I started calling her Lucy.
251
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,840
[ominous music playing]
252
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,960
[Vaihayasi] The trial began
in February of 2017,
253
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,000
two years after Indrani was arrested.
254
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,120
[advocate] The course of the trial
will determine
255
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,320
whether Indrani is guilty or not.
256
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,360
I have full faith in the judiciary,
I have full faith in the court.
257
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,680
[news anchor] We still don't know
after all of this investigation
258
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:52,920
what was the motive?
259
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,880
Motive is the primary element.
260
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,960
{\an8}It will be very difficult for the judge
261
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,640
{\an8}to convict someone without
establishing the motive.
262
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,320
[Vaihayasi] I've been following
this case from very first day
263
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:06,400
it came to trial.
264
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,200
There are only a few
265
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,840
{\an8}very suspenseful high points
we all were looking for in the trial.
266
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,640
{\an8}So one was when Mekhail showed up.
267
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,800
[ominous music playing]
268
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,880
[Mekhail] Initially, I was nervous.
269
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,040
{\an8}Because all this stuff was new to me.
270
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,320
{\an8}The courtroom, the lawyers,
the way they question.
271
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,160
But I calmed myself down and said,
272
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,880
"You have to fight for your sister. "
273
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,000
[news anchor]
Sensational details and revelations
274
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,840
coming in from Mekhail Bora's statement,
275
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:47,000
saying that he was being tortured
to declare him mentally unstable
276
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,960
so that the truth does not come out
of their relationship with Indrani.
277
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,240
[tense music playing]
278
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,240
[Mekhail] In 2005,
when I was 15 years old,
279
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,560
Indrani took me out for lunch,
and she told me,
280
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,200
"You're going to Bangalore
in two hours. "
281
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,600
"Your bags are in the car,
clothes are ready. "
282
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,440
"In Bangalore,
you will do your 11th and 12th grade
283
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,160
and that is my decision. "
284
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,400
I didn't even know where Bangalore was.
285
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,440
[ominous music playing]
286
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,320
[Mekhail] I still remember very clearly.
287
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:35,560
I was crying. She dropped my bags.
She didn't even say bye to me.
288
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,200
Her car drove off
from the hostel basement.
289
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,120
Once I reached the school,
I was totally lost.
290
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,480
I did not have a mobile phone at the time.
291
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,480
I had no communication
with Sheena and my grandparents.
292
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:56,440
Even after I stayed there
for one year in Bangalore…
293
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,280
I was not allowed to speak to anyone
except Indrani.
294
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,920
-[bird caws]
-[tense music playing]
295
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:07,880
[Mekhail] She told me to come to Bombay.
296
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,280
That day I was introduced to a slim man
with specs and a moustache.
297
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,440
His name was Sanjeev Khanna.
298
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,040
I didn't know he was Indrani's ex-husband.
299
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,280
She said, "He is my colleague. "
300
00:17:25,360 --> 00:17:29,200
"He will take you to a bar. Go with him. "
301
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,720
Last thing I remember
was having a tequila shot.
302
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,760
-I was blackout.
-[tense music concludes]
303
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,440
[Mekhail] When I regained consciousness
in the morning…
304
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,600
[tense music playing]
305
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,960
[Mekhail] …both of my hands
were tied to a bed.
306
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:57,560
My legs were tied.
307
00:17:58,120 --> 00:18:01,200
[ominous music playing]
308
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,440
[Mekhail] Two or three ward boys entered.
309
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:15,880
They started hitting me.
310
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,040
After half an hour, a doctor came.
311
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,040
"Since you're addicted to drugs,
you've been admitted here
312
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,440
by your sister, Indrani. "
313
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,760
[ominous music continues]
314
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:35,440
[Mekhail] And you are at
Masina Mental Health Care Center.
315
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,160
I don't know what injections they gave me.
316
00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:50,440
They gave me shock treatment.
317
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,360
At that time, I was totally broken down.
318
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:01,840
[ominous music concludes]
319
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,280
[bird chirping]
320
00:19:08,360 --> 00:19:10,960
[Mekhail] After a month,
Indrani came to see me.
321
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,760
Indrani asked me,
322
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,920
"You okay?" I said, "How can I be okay?"
323
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,160
"What did I do?"
324
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,440
She started shouting at me.
325
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,280
"He's lost his mind!"
326
00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:28,080
"He's getting so aggressive. "
This and that.
327
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,200
[somber music playing]
328
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,600
[Mekhail] Immediately after,
they literally dragged me away from there.
329
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,200
They didn't even let me speak.
330
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:44,760
That one-year period was so…
331
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,040
The torture I was put through,
332
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,880
it was no less than a death for me.
333
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:53,800
And somehow, I survived that.
334
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,520
Then, it struck my mind that maybe
all of this happened
335
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,280
because before I was admitted there,
336
00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:05,000
I'd disclosed to a few people
337
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:06,640
that she is my mother.
338
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,560
[ominous music playing]
339
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,720
[Indrani] As a mother,
what am I supposed to do?
340
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,680
Let him kill himself
with different types of drugs?
341
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,200
As a mother…
342
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,840
I took the right decision
to take him to a doctor.
343
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,760
I cannot understand, you know,
344
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,760
you're damned if you fend for your kids,
345
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,680
you're damned if you don't!
346
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,720
Oh my goodness!
347
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,960
[camera shutter clicking]
348
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,000
[Indrani] And this is them skiing.
349
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,800
Skiing holiday in Switzerland.
350
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,800
Both Sheena and Mekhail.
They look happy.
351
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,480
Does this look like
a life of, you know, sadness,
352
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,640
no money, no wealth, no creature comforts?
353
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,880
This is not even creature comforts.
This is, like, luxury.
354
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,000
Does it anywhere look like
I had given them a life
355
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,160
where Mekhail was so unhappy?
356
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,240
This is Mekhail laughing and happy,
and that's with both his sisters.
357
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,120
With both Sheena and Vidhie.
358
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,840
And that's Sheena and Vidhie together.
359
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,440
Do you see? This is at home,
this is in Marlow, this is here.
360
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,400
See, my relationship with Sheena,
361
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:38,480
in between 2002 to 2008,
till Rahul came in, was perfectly fine.
362
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,320
You can see all these photographs.
363
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,720
Everything fell apart when Rahul came.
364
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,000
[tense music playing]
365
00:21:46,120 --> 00:21:49,320
[Indrani] Peter brought Rahul to India
366
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:54,800
to basically settle down and to spend time
with us and to get a job.
367
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,720
[Vidhie] My mom and Rahul,
they didn't get along from day one.
368
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:06,200
He just wasn't settled to the idea
of my father marrying my mom.
369
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,680
Even before their wedding,
370
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,720
Rahul really caused a big problem.
371
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,600
Just fighting, calling my mom names.
372
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,640
Humiliating her in front of other people.
373
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,280
So, my mom then was just like,
374
00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:23,760
"You know what? Fuck it.
Why do I need to take this shit?"
375
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,960
"I'm not going to be nice to you. "
Rahul was the same.
376
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,160
[camera shutter clicking]
377
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:33,040
[Vidhie] Sheena and Rahul met
around 2008, 2009.
378
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,120
Rahul was spending a lot more time at home
when Sheena was there.
379
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:40,960
One weekend,
380
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,440
I remember waking up super early,
and I remember…
381
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,360
I was that kid
who'd just open the door, like,
382
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,760
I didn't even know what knocking was,
you know. I'd just open the door, and, um…
383
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,800
I just saw both of them, you know,
sleeping in the same bed, cuddling.
384
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,440
I felt a little betrayed.
385
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:00,960
I felt a little angry.
386
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,240
I felt like there was this whole ruse
going on.
387
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,920
They started to have
a relationship pretty quickly.
388
00:23:10,360 --> 00:23:13,040
I do believe
they fell madly in love with each other.
389
00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:15,080
That is something I can't deny.
390
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:20,040
Our house help, Maya,
went and told my mom.
391
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:21,960
She was unhappy.
392
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:27,480
[Indrani] That is inaccurate,
that I disapproved of the relationship.
393
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,680
But I was very concerned
394
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,960
about, uh, Rahul.
395
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,760
Rahul is a layabout. He just doesn't work,
he doesn't do anything.
396
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,840
And Rahul came and brainwashed Sheena
so much against me.
397
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,320
[Vidhie] My father and I,
we met Rahul and Sheena secretly.
398
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,080
Rahul was kind of, like, egging her on.
399
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:53,280
Just being like, "You should…
400
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,360
you should tell-- you should tell Vidhie,
you know, you should tell--
401
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:56,680
you should tell her,
you should tell her. "
402
00:23:57,360 --> 00:24:00,520
We were sitting out on the terrace,
and Sheena was just like,
403
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,520
"You know, so there's something
I have to tell you guys. "
404
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,200
"Indrani is actually my mother. "
405
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,600
And I was like, "Really?"
406
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,200
I was like,
"Does that mean we're sisters?"
407
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,720
That was my first reaction. I was
like, "We're sisters, that means. "
408
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,640
And she was just like, "Yeah. "
Like, she held my hand.
409
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,480
She was just like, "We're sisters. "
410
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,120
[soft music playing]
411
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,760
[Vidhie] I looked at my dad
and I was just like, "This is crazy. "
412
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,760
Like, "We should confront mom about it. "
413
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,520
And when we did,
we both confronted her together about it,
414
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,480
but she was just like, "That's rubbish. "
415
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:35,880
Like, "That's not true. "
416
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,720
[soft music fades]
417
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:43,360
I did not think it was the right time
to tell Vidhie
418
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:47,440
that Sheena was my daughter. And…
419
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:54,360
I think the way it kind of came across
at that point, you know, I didn't--
420
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,080
Actually, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no.
421
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,560
That is not-- Vidhie never
asked me, excuse me.
422
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,480
I didn't even know that they had met.
423
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:06,160
I found out that Vidhie and Peter
ever met Sheena, was after my arrest.
424
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:10,200
I didn't even know they met.
Oh, so that's a complete lie. No!
425
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:14,360
[Vidhie] After that,
426
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,960
Sheena and Rahul became like this unit.
427
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,360
-It was like them against my mom.
-[camera shutter clicking]
428
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,080
[Vidhie] Then just, like,
fights started erupting.
429
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,560
A lot of fights.
And then Sheena became…
430
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,040
I think Sheena became very angry.
431
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,120
[eerie music playing]
432
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,960
[Vidhie] My mom and Sheena
just stopped any kind of contact.
433
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,800
Rahul and my dad stopped any
kind of contact. And yeah, sure,
434
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,720
my mom did play a part in saying,
435
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,360
"Listen, you know, if this is how
your son's going to behave,
436
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,040
you can't be in touch with him. "
437
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,200
[Indrani] We were very stressed out,
and I was doing my work in INX.
438
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:55,880
I used to perhaps sleep, you know,
439
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,640
for three hours a night
or sometimes, you know,
440
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,040
work every Sunday,
and that's how the team was working.
441
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,120
[tense music playing]
442
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,200
[Rajesh] At INX, she did
not have a sense of control.
443
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,280
She was extremely insecure
about her position.
444
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,960
She had the suspicion
that there was a conspiracy against her.
445
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,000
And that there were people who were
out to malign her,
446
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:25,560
who did not want to accept her authority
in her leadership position.
447
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,160
There were review meetings that Indrani
would come to Delhi for,
448
00:26:32,120 --> 00:26:34,080
she would come scream at the meeting.
449
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,640
She'd call up people in the dead
of the night and start crying.
450
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,920
Please, do feel free,
uh, you know, to give us
451
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,960
your genuine feedback.
Instead of writing nasty things,
452
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,040
you can just let us know.
We'll correct it all,
453
00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:51,360
and then you can write good things
about us.
454
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,520
INX's new channels went on air.
455
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,600
{\an8}It didn't make that impact
the way it was expected.
456
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,480
It didn't become the disruptor
in the media industry
457
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,760
-and then things started falling apart.
-[suspenseful music playing]
458
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,480
[Sahil]
Then the stories started coming out
459
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,360
about how people were thrown out,
how the fights became ugly.
460
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,840
Immediately, everybody knew
that it was going to go down.
461
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,280
[Indrani] I was a woman,
I was not from the industry,
462
00:27:17,120 --> 00:27:19,720
I was young, I was inexperienced.
463
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,920
So obviously, it all happened
because Indrani was made the CEO.
464
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,800
[Kunal] INX had gone and raised
465
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,120
huge amounts,
a few hundred million dollars.
466
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,760
This whole money fizzled out in two years.
467
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,960
So where they spent so much money,
468
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:37,760
I really couldn't figure out.
469
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,400
This was something
which was being closely scrutinized
470
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,280
by not only the rivals and the public,
but also the investors
471
00:27:44,360 --> 00:27:46,600
and also the government.
472
00:27:48,360 --> 00:27:50,720
[Sahil] The Enforcement Directorate
was already investigating.
473
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,080
And they had a suspicion
that the money was siphoned off.
474
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,360
[Dilip] They sold the company
and moved to the UK.
475
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,320
Their non-presence in India
for many years
476
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,680
{\an8}became a subject of…
of conversation and gossip,
477
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,640
{\an8}and then they… they actually
vanished from the scene, as it were.
478
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:15,080
When you look at this situation,
there's just so much money involved.
479
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,080
And I think money is a big motivator
480
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,800
to do a lot of fucked up shit.
481
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,920
[dramatic music playing]
482
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:30,200
[dramatic music concludes]
483
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,280
[Sahil] Some people
started questioning that,
484
00:28:32,360 --> 00:28:34,400
"Did Sheena know about the INX case?"
485
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,520
"Did she have some details of INX case?"
486
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,800
"Was that the reason
behind Sheena's disappearance?"
487
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,640
What came out of that CBI charge sheet
is public knowledge.
488
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,920
No financial angle was found out ever!
489
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,440
They stick to what the Mumbai Police
was talking about.
490
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,120
Then the conspiracy theory
starts coming in.
491
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,360
[Vidhie] During those years in England,
492
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,440
my mom was just extremely
stressed out by what was happening.
493
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:05,120
And she was just so volatile,
and she was so anxious.
494
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,880
Me and my dad became so close
495
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,520
that I started viewing my mom
as the really strict one…
496
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,600
who wanted to control what I ate,
497
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,800
control how many Barbies I got.
498
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,120
But my dad was just like,
"Just give her everything. "
499
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,680
She was perhaps far more strict
500
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,600
and a little more violent
than she needed to be.
501
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,040
It was like a slap on the face
is just nothing.
502
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,120
Like, I would get slapped
for answering back.
503
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,240
It really emotionally traumatized me
and scarred me.
504
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,000
[brooding music playing]
505
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:06,880
[Vidhie] During that point,
Rahul sent one email about the engagement.
506
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,680
And you know, my mom
was not really happy with it.
507
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:13,960
Things were really tense,
508
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,520
and I think it just got
more and more tense.
509
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,880
[Sahil] Indrani came
with a completely fresh
510
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,240
and new identity in Mumbai.
511
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:30,360
Nobody from her close circles
had any inkling about her past.
512
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,360
For her, Sheena revealing
all these things
513
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:39,960
would have shattered her image
in the social circuit.
514
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,120
[Mekhail] I believe the thought
of Sheena and Rahul's wedding
515
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:45,880
really scared Indrani.
516
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,840
Everyone in Guwahati knew
that we were her children.
517
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,720
At the wedding, the lie would be exposed.
518
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,280
Indrani called our grandparents.
519
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:07,280
She told our grandmother
that she must convince Sheena
520
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,560
that if she gets married to Rahul,
521
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,160
Sheena will lose her share
from the Guwahati property
522
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,640
and they will change the will accordingly.
523
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,760
Indrani… used money
524
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,280
to control my whole family.
525
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,240
She used it as her weapon.
526
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:31,440
"If you do not obey my orders,
527
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,440
then I will stop your financial aid. "
528
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,040
Sheena was the only person in the family
529
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,320
who Indrani couldn't control
with her money.
530
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,200
She was happy.
She said, "I am happy with Rahul,
531
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,600
and I want to spend my future with him. "
532
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,400
What I went through…
533
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,640
[suspenseful music playing]
534
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,440
[Mekhail] Afraid of the consequences,
535
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,280
I warned Sheena,
536
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,120
"Please be careful. "
537
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,840
[Rahul]
Now, what Sheena had actually told me
538
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,000
{\an8}with regard to all of this
is that she had--
539
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,920
{\an8}she got a place in Oxford Brookes,
but it's not until January.
540
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,880
{\an8}And at work, as far as I know,
she's doing very, very well.
541
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:24,480
She's on her way to getting a promotion.
She got rated "Excellent" recently.
542
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,920
There's no reason why she would
suddenly drop her job and disappear
543
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:30,560
without informing anybody.
544
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,520
[Indrani] So three years,
Sheena and myself were not in touch.
545
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:38,920
I said, "Listen,
546
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,640
you guys please carry on,
you know, with your life. "
547
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,640
"And I'm in England, you're in India. "
548
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:47,600
Rahul was of course still not working.
549
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,320
"And if you're happy there,
you be there, but just--
550
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,040
you know, let's kind of maintain
our distance. "
551
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:57,720
So, it was one fine day in 2012,
when Sheena contacted me,
552
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,560
and that's on record. It's on record.
553
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,880
Sheena contacted me that,
"I need to meet you, I need to see you. "
554
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,000
[tense music playing]
555
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,080
{\an8}[Peter]
After not speaking for three years,
556
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,000
{\an8}she is the one who initiates an email.
557
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:30,640
{\an8}[Rahul] Yeah, I know, I know.
558
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,440
{\an8}-[Peter] Why?
-[Indrani] Why?
559
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,040
{\an8}[Peter] Why does she initiate an email
so that she can go and die?
560
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,040
[Rahul] No, no,
I'll tell you why. Because…
561
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,840
Because me and you weren't in touch, Papa.
562
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,760
And she felt-- she felt bad for that.
563
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,640
She thought if she can patch things up
with Indrani to a certain extent,
564
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,520
then maybe that will also change.
565
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,520
[dramatic music playing]
566
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:57,840
[Indrani] I had met Sheena
567
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,440
on 7th April 2012.
568
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,360
7th, please get this date right,
569
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:09,760
7th April 2012.
570
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,880
Sheena and I met in Kalina Hyatt.
571
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,120
[Rahul] I said to her,
"Look, if you go and meet Indrani,
572
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,680
uh, you go and meet Indrani for dinner,
right? That’s cool. "
573
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,280
"You sent her an email,
trying to patch up things. "
574
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:24,880
"You go and meet with her.
And you want to do your MBA
575
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:25,800
or we know that, right?"
576
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:27,280
"If she can help you financially,
577
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,400
and, you know,
but she puts conditions on it…"
578
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,640
"I'm just saying, I'm not saying
this is what-- what's happened,
579
00:34:31,720 --> 00:34:34,960
and that we must…
we must, you know, not be together,
580
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:36,920
then I'll understand that.
You go and do your education,
581
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,280
you do what you need to do,
and I'll accept that. "
582
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,200
"And, you know, in the future,
I'll also be doing my thing. "
583
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:43,880
"And in the future, we can meet again. "
584
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,080
It was a long dinner.
585
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,560
We were talking about
a lot of things and…
586
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,000
But, you know, there were a lot of things.
587
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,320
We were catching up on three years.
588
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,480
She wanted to pursue her higher education,
589
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:01,400
and she just wanted
to get out of that relationship.
590
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,000
That was absolutely there.
591
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:04,840
There was no denying that.
592
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:07,960
{\an8}The only reason now I can--
593
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:09,680
{\an8}I am putting two
and two together are that--
594
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,040
{\an8}The only reason she contacted me basically
was because she wanted the money.
595
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:14,880
That is the only reason she contacted me.
596
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:15,960
[Rahul] Okay.
597
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,400
[Indrani] There was no other reason
that she wanted to contact me.
598
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,920
[interviewer] Did Sheena ever ask you
for money?
599
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,840
Sheena never asked me for…
ever, ever, ever,
600
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,200
for a large sum of money.
601
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:30,960
In fact, on the contrary,
I must admit, even for her education,
602
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:35,000
she said that she would actually
like to take a bank loan.
603
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,120
It's beneath her dignity to, kind of,
604
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,640
demand and ask for money
until and unless she really needed it.
605
00:35:41,720 --> 00:35:45,560
And after she started working,
she has never taken,
606
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,880
never ever asked
or never taken anything from me.
607
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,040
[dramatic music playing]
608
00:36:01,720 --> 00:36:05,960
On April 24th, 2012, I was in Bombay.
609
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,080
Beyond that…
610
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:18,320
I am not going to be able
to speak at this point.
611
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,240
Because the matter is sub judice.
612
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,520
[interviewer]
Did you see Sheena on the 24th?
613
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,960
See, I cannot comment on it now till--
614
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,200
[interviewer] But hasn't that already
been established in court?
615
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:37,360
No, of course not.
616
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,480
[tense music playing]
617
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:53,520
[Indrani] Rahul dropping Sheena does
not establish that I met Sheena.
618
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:59,440
It has not been established so far
619
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:03,560
that I have met Sheena on any day,
620
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:07,320
either on the 24th or later,
621
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,520
or any day in 2012.
622
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,400
[Indrani] Rahul?
623
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,080
I'm just giving you the sequence
of events, okay?
624
00:37:19,240 --> 00:37:21,160
Sheena came at 6:30 to Amarsons.
625
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:22,440
[Rahul] Yeah.
626
00:37:22,720 --> 00:37:24,440
[Indrani] Okay, she bought a sari there.
627
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,040
I was back home
628
00:37:30,720 --> 00:37:32,080
by quarter to ten.
629
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,520
[tense music continues]
630
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,800
[Indrani] This whole story itself
631
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:16,960
is so bizarre.
632
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:28,480
I've not been the perfect mom,
but that also does not make me a murderer.
633
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,880
Why do I need to commit a murder?
634
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:38,840
It's so ridiculous.
635
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,880
I am convinced about one thing.
636
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,160
Sheena is definitely alive.
637
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:53,560
And I know…
638
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,920
she's roaming around somewhere.
639
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:03,880

640
