[indistinct chatter]
[Indrani] Let that stay a bit vague…
-[director] Okay, sound check. -[crew member] Testing.
[crew member 2] Okay.
[director] There is somebody screaming outside.
Can we get somebody outside this window from our team?
[Indrani] There's a massive fight going on.
And now there's a woman involved, so it's not going to stop.
[indistinct shouting outside]
Can I try it?
-Chaitanya. -[Chaitanya] Yeah?
Please take care of the noise.
[funky music playing]
I have…
never lost a murder case.
The reason being…
strategy forms the most integral part of any criminal defense.
As far as my professional ethics go, if a client approaches me,
I'm duty bound to represent him.
Whether I think he's guilty or I think he's not guilty is irrelevant.
My job as a professional
is to put his best case forward before the court.
[bird screeches]
Indrani approached me to represent her because
she thought that I was the best person for the job and that is why I took it up.
They have not been able to establish as yet that,
uh, you know, Sheena is alive or dead
because forensics does not support
the theory of Sheena being dead.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Hang on. Hang on.
[Indrani] And 307, again--
Indrani, chill, chill, chill.
-Relax. -No, but there is no--
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
-Hang on, hang on. -[director] Indrani…
Let's roll.
[theme music playing]
[theme music concludes]
So, Indrani will say, "Listen, I dropped her outside the Amarsons. "
And then who is the last person she contacted after that?
[Indrani] Rahul.
-[Peter] She sent you a message? -[Rahul] Yeah.
[Peter] And she sent-- She sent Indrani a message also.
[Rahul] Okay.
[Peter] Late-- Late night on that night. So?
She sent me a message in the morning as well, actually.
-[Peter] Huh? -[Rahul] She sent me a message
in the morning,
which was completely different and kind of-- Kind of a bit weird.
[dramatic music playing]
[Rahul] I don't know. I don't know what to do, what to think,
what to say or what. I don't know.
Nothing, darling. You don't have to do anything, think anything.
People move on in life.
This is not the first time, you know, a breakup has happened.
This is not the first time, Rahul, and you need to just, you know,
pick up your life and move on.
[dramatic music ends]
[screeches]
[Indrani] I went through these phases, of course, that maybe she's dead.
Maybe she's alive and then again we think, "Oh, okay, she's dead. "
And then again, there is a bunch of SMS's that come out. So…
She was definitely alive after 24th April, 2012.
[reporter] Former media tycoon
turned murder-accused Indrani Mukerjea
has made a sensational claim that Sheena Bora is alive
and she is in Jammu and Kashmir.
Every one of us journalists who have been going to the court
have, at some point or the other, really thought that,
is Sheena really dead?
In this entire case,
Indrani has never accepted the fact that Sheena is dead.
I'm going to uncover the truth and find out where Sheena is!
I won't stop my search for Sheena.
[news anchor] Indrani Mukerjea has claimed
that a woman resembling Sheena
was recently seen at the Guwahati airport.
Why would someone just disappear from the face of the earth
when she's got so much to look forward to in her life?
And if she did, how is it even possible,
in the age of social media, cell phones and credit cards,
to just vanish without a trace?
I mean, I think it's very wishful thinking on the defense's part
to think that she is alive.
I mean, I think that's all just sort of obfuscating the truth.
[tense music playing]
[Ranjeet] See, in my entire career,
this is the most bizarrest case that I have ever come across.
This is a jigsaw puzzle
that I think and I believe that I have solved.
But still, it doesn't make sense, because as long as Sheena is not found,
the question remains, what happened to Sheena Bora?
[Vidhie] I don't know if Sheena has been killed.
I don't know if Sheena's dead.
It's ridiculous. Where is the end?
What is--
What is the start? What is the end?
You know, is Sheena dead, is she not dead?
Who is--
Where am I meant to be in this point?
Where does my heart lie?
I have spent seven years trying to figure this out.
All I know is there's a lot of money involved,
and there's a lot of deceit involved.
[news anchor] Media tycoon Indrani Mukerjea has been arrested
by Mumbai Police and charged with murder.
[news anchor 2] Sheena Bora's murder.
-[indistinct chatter] -[camera shutters clicking]
[Sahil] How come suddenly after three years after Sheena's disappearance,
the Khar police station gets to know
that Indrani Mukerjea have killed her daughter
and have dumped her body in Raigad,
some 100 kilometers from Mumbai.
[mysterious music playing]
There has to be somebody, some source.
There was a conspiracy theory
that Rakesh Maria got a call from some anonymous source
that there is a missing body found in Raigad.
And this body is actually Sheena Bora.
She has been killed. She is not missing.
And Indrani Mukerjea's driver, Shyamvar Rai,
is involved in the murder.
[Vidya] According to Mumbai police,
after the tip off,
Shyamvar Rai had gone to Carter Road area in Bandra
to dispose of a gun that he had been carrying.
Why would a driver walk eight kilometers
to Carter Road to dispose of the gun when he lives near the Mithi river.
which is perhaps the easiest place to dispose of the gun?
[Sahil] As per the police records,
the police found his movement suspicious.
They picked him up.
They found a gun on him.
They took him for the questioning.
And during the questioning, he revealed that
he himself, Indrani, and Sanjeev Khanna killed Sheena in 2012.
Why is a driver going to self-incriminate based on
being caught with the possession of a gun,
to a murder three years ago,
which necessarily has no connection to the possession of the gun itself?
You see,
when we arrest any accused,
he discloses the offense committed by him.
Whether it is one offense, two offense, three offenses.
Whatever he said, that is the truth.
It is a well-accepted practice in the police, unofficially,
that if you want to nail a gangster or a criminal,
you plant a weapon on him and then make a case
showing a recovery of an illegal weapon.
[tense music playing]
[Vidhie] I think this whole angle that there is an anonymous call
going to Rakesh Maria where the driver is holding a gun,
I just think that's all made up.
And it's just fucking bullshit.
I would definitely question
who benefits from my mom being put away?
Now, if you look back at the conduct of the driver
and his relations with the police, he can never be called a reliable witness.
And perhaps, the police coerced him.
And thereafter, he was given an incentive, "Okay,
you depose everything, and we let you off. "
An approver under the Indian law
is a person who has thrown his friends to the dogs
and therefore, his statement should not be taken on face value
unless and until it has been corroborated or supported
by impeccable quality evidence,
which has to be independent in nature.
[Vaihayasi] In his testimony,
Shyamvar Rai gave a fresh
and much more sort of preposterous meaning to the phrase,
"Truth is stranger than fiction. "
He's telling a story about how he was summoned into a room
and he's shown Skype.
Indrani came on his computer screen and then she said, you know,
"I'm not getting along with my daughter. You need to go and kill her. "
He said something to the effect of, "Memsaab told me to kill her. "
"Memsaab wanted me to do it, so I did it. "
[dramatic music playing]
[Vaihayasi] Then there is Mekhail…
Okay, I was back home by quarter to ten.
So, from Amarsons, whatever time it takes to reach home,
it should not be more than half an hour.
-[Rahul] Yeah. -[Indrani] Which is why I was asleep.
Because I had come-- I had a guest,
Mekhail, who flew in from, I am just giving you--
-Who flew in from outside, okay? -[Rahul] Okay.
One of the reasons for Indrani wanting to have murdered Sheena
was that they didn't get along at all.
She didn't like her daughter.
And that seemed to be also the issue with Mekhail.
Indrani told me, "On the 24th, I'll be in India. "
"Come, meet me. "
I took an evening flight.
I came to Mumbai.
I reached the Marlow apartment at nearly 8:30 p. m.
Nobody was home.
I called Indrani immediately.
She told me that…
"We are a bit busy. "
"I will take some time. Relax. I'll join you. "
It sounded strange, but I said, "It's fine. "
Today, I feel…
that's when Sheena was allegedly murdered.
[Vaihayasi] So according to Shyamvar Rai,
they went off to some little unknown lane in Bandra
where nobody obviously walks around.
Sanjeev Khanna was also sitting in the front seat,
and Indrani was sitting in the back with Sheena.
Indrani drugged her.
The drug took effect immediately, and she was already, like, dazed.
And then Sanjeev came into the backseat of the car
and held Sheena, apparently, by her hair.
She jumped onto Sheena's lap, and she held her down very aggressively.
And then, Shyamvar Rai was trying to aid it a little bit.
So he put his hand behind to hold Sheena.
Indrani strangled her daughter in five minutes.
[eerie music playing]
[Vaihayasi] Then from there, they go to the Taj.
Shyamvar Rai's sitting outside the Taj,
which is one of the most busy places in Bandra, with a body…
while, apparently, Indrani went to have some cup of tea
while the body is sitting in her car.
And he's sitting in the car guarding this body.
They took the body home.
In the garage, they took the body from inside the car,
put it inside the trunk.
[Mekhail] After a while, she came home.
I was on the terrace at that point.
She offered me whiskey.
The first sip I took…
I felt…
the taste of a chemical in my mouth which I had tasted earlier.
[ominous music playing]
I became alert.
A man came and was standing near the door.
And that's when I saw Sanjeev Khanna.
And actually, I got really scared
because the last time he was around, I went to that rehabilitation center.
The effect of one sip of that drink was so much that I couldn't…
I started becoming dizzy and all.
I threw it back.
Soon after, I felt that, maybe, she is waiting for me to pass out.
Suddenly, she said, "I need to attend an important meeting right now. "
I found it strange.
People don't normally go for meetings at 1:30 or 2:00 at night.
After Indrani left,
the first thing I did, I ran down.
And I went to the airport directly…
to leave for Guwahati.
I could have been killed that night.
[Vaihayasi] Shyamvar Rai, he stuck to his story all the way through.
So they moved this body, they were able to make the body sit up on the backseat.
They put lipstick, and they combed the hair.
On the way to dumping the body,
they stopped at petrol pumps.
They must have passed lots of people on the highway,
but there, the body is going straight,
and then they drove all the way to Pen.
They carried the body from the car into a wooded area.
Rai said that he held the feet, and Sanjeev held the head.
[dramatic music playing]
[Vaihayasi] The way he portrayed himself, he was the wonderful servant
who did everything that Madam wanted him to do.
So this entire plot,
according to the prosecution was,
planned, executed, and seen to it that an end is reached
by Indrani.
[tense music playing]
[news anchor] It's the biggest breakthrough yet.
The DNA results have confirmed
that the body found in the Pen forest did indeed belong to Sheena Bora.
This is the first concrete proof.
[Vaihayasi] The prosecution was unveiling
their strongest piece of evidence.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Vaihayasi] The DNA which they took from Indrani
apparently matched the DNA sample
from Sheena's remains.
The evidence that have been put forth by the prosecution,
the defense has been digging holes into it.
The DNA analysis in this particular matter,
the manner in which it has been done, is, uh…
hilarious.
[Rajdeep] As the trial has started,
the defense has actually pointed out serious flaws,
such as the DNA analyst filling out part of a graph by hand
and the defense seized upon these and upon any technicality
that could possibly get DNA evidence thrown out of the courtroom.
I'm refuting the claim of the prosecution
that the body found by the police
is Sheena's body.
[director] But, are you guys asking for another DNA test
to prove that this body is not Sheena's?
Why should the defense ask as to whether that body
is Sheena's or not?
It is the burden of the prosecution to prove my guilt
beyond all reasonable doubts.
My job is to punch holes in the prosecution's case.
[Rajdeep] People will only be convinced that Indrani is innocent
if the defense can pick holes in the police version,
that are the size of a lunar crater.
I don't think Indrani Mukerjea or her defense team
has given a powerful counter narrative
to, in a way, completely challenge and debunk the police version
that has already stayed in the public imagination for so many years.
-[news anchor] Found a body here. -[news anchor 2] Samples have…
[news anchor 3] Latest news coming in is that
Indrani Mukerjea may have impersonated her daughter for quite some time
even after Sheena Bora's murder.
Sources have told India Today that Indrani used her daughter's mobile phone
for up to a year after her death.
Reports are suggesting that Indrani Mukerjea
also broke up with Rahul Mukerjea
over the phone, impersonating her daughter.
[cell phone chimes]
I do not know who sent those messages.
I personally do not believe it was my mom, who would send messages like that.
[Vidya] Prosecution had produced a witness,
who was basically a secretary to Indrani,
and she was privy to all that Indrani was doing
to cover up Sheena not being around.
The witness told the court that Indrani tried to, you know,
get into the email ID of Sheena.
When they could not succeed, created an ID for Sheena Bora
[Vaihayasi] She had created an email ID called
sheenabora@hotmail. com after Sheena went missing.
This is from sheenabora@hotmail. com.
Sunday, 27, Jan 2013.
"You did not even have the decency to respond to me with a simple thanks
when I wished you on your birthday. "
"You need to stop telling lies about me. "
"Stop it now. "
"Sheena. "
It doesn't-- It doesn't sound…
It's just-- It was such a random email that I got.
Like, I was just so confused when, you know…
Someone-- Some-- This is some--
If it wasn't Sheena, it was clearly someone. Right?
These are all allegations which are not backed by anything.
So there is no corroboration.
Of course I'm denying it. Of course I'm denying.
I have this daughter who decides to disappear on me,
and then decide to have nothing to do with me all over again.
Why am I going to be even bothered to…
You know, forget about creating a new ID.
Why would I want to have anything to do with her again after that?
[news anchor] The call data records point towards
the locations of Sanjeev Khanna, Indrani Mukerjea
and the driver, Shyamvar Rai.
All of these three, pointing towards
the same locations as far as CDR is concerned.
[Vaihayasi] According to Shyamvar Rai,
the day before the murder, they did all the, you know,
recce for how the murder's gonna happen
and where the bodies are gonna happen.
Shyamvar Rai told the police that Indrani calls Peter.
That's how they got Peter into the whole scene.
She explains the two places that she's found magically within a couple of hours
of, you know, recce.
[Vidya] Peter, according to the prosecution,
is part of the entire conspiracy.
He was very much involved, and knew step by step
as to what is being planned, what is being done.
And Indrani was informing him every few minutes.
[director] Please answer the question about the media report
about Indrani's call records showing she was in Raigad on the 23rd.
You're not denying the fact that the land was seen? Correct?
[Indrani] Yeah, yeah. 23rd, the land was seen.
-That was it. -Okay.
Whoever knows Indrani knows that she's addicted…
to buying properties.
There was an agricultural land which she intended to purchase.
That property…
when she had a look at,
she came back and was seriously contemplating buying that.
It is just basically, you know, we were looking at, you know…
-[director] Farmland. -Farm-- Farm-- Farm house.
[interviewer] So, it was, like, a strange coincidence that…
-No, it was not… -…that area, that they are claiming
-Sheena's body was found in… -But everyone who lives in Bombay
-looks for property there. -…is the same area that--
So, to kind of build their farmhouses. Everybody has farmhouses there.
[Ranjeet] It definitely is a coincidence
that Indrani happened to be in Raigad district
looking for an agriculture property on the 23rd.
But everybody who goes to Raigad for looking for properties,
to build farmhouses there, is not necessarily doing a recce
for disposing of dead bodies, correct?
We're getting in some breaking news that Indrani Mukerjea
will now be filing for divorce from her husband, Peter Mukerjea.
Peter's role as well leaves a lot of questions unanswered.
FAMILY COURT, MUMBAI
He always claimed to know nothing, when it would seem he knew a fair deal.
And if that's true, neither can point to the other
without incriminating themselves.
I think that led to incredible tension between the two.
[tense dramatic music playing]
2019 is when the divorce got finalized.
Everyone was saying that, "Oh, " you know,
"Indrani is making life so tough. She's taking everything that Peter has. "
I was just like, "Fuck this, she's doing this again. "
"What the hell is going on?"
I went to court so I could give my dad a hug.
And, um…
I saw my mom sitting there, and…
She was so excited to see me.
I yelled at her. I just straight up, I was like,
"What the fuck are you doing? How can you do this?"
I told her that she'd stolen all the money from my dad,
and I told her that she had done this.
I told her that she was a murderer.
I told her that, "You have murdered Sheena. "
[exhales deeply]
[tense dramatic music continues]
I just went home…
I took a bottle of gin, and went inside the room and locked it.
All she wanted to do was just give me a hug.
I just kept drinking. I just kept drinking, drinking, drinking.
And I went into my dad's, you know, bathroom
and I just, like, opened 14 to 15 different pills,
all different colors, and just kept popping all of them
one by one by one by one by one.
[music fades]
[siren blaring]
[EKG monitor beeping]
[Vidhie] I just remember waking up in the hospital.
The moment I woke up…
I just saw my mom's face in my mind,
and I just cried and cried and cried and cried.
And I missed her, like, I actually allowed myself to miss her.
I wasn't there for her. I should have been there for her.
But you know, just as my mom got bail, I was like, "I love my mother,
and, you know, she's out and I want to live with her. "
When I publicly kind of took a stand for my mother,
Peter's family,
they cut me off within a second.
I don't think I was ever part of the family to begin with.
So there's no real betrayal, you know.
So… I… I'm just being really honest.
And the side I'm picking right now is my mom's.
And hopefully that side is the truth.
To me, the word "family" isn't that important in my life because…
I don't know what family means to me,
like the way other people know it.
I'm not trying to be a detective with my mom.
All I'm focused on right now is being there for my mother as a daughter,
you know, murderer or not.
[Ranjeet] In my 18, 19 years of practice,
I have never encountered a matter like this.
Each and every character of this particular story
is extremely unique.
Everybody has got their individual agendas.
The kind of people that are there in this family,
you just can't say who is really attached to whom.
What is playing on each one's minds.
What role does money and property play on the interpersonal relationships
within the members of this family?
Mekhail, especially, has had his own agenda.
Nobody with a sane mind, who is running away from a killer,
sends a message to the killer saying, "Hey, I love you so much. "
And then continues to send those kind of messages. So that is…
I mean, you know, ridiculous!
[Mekhail] My relationship with Indrani is all about financial aid.
I don't want to make her unhappy in any way.
People do ask me, "Why didn't you go and find Sheena?"
What could a 20-year-old do,
when he was looking after his dying grandparents?
How would I leave my house?
[director] For three years, you claim you're looking for Sheena.
You've never even sent one email asking where she is.
Right.
[dramatic music playing]
[director] You say the grandparents' health was really bad.
But then on the other hand, you are going and buying an SUV?
Their health was not deteriorated or bad when I bought that car.
-[director] You bought the car in 2014. -Yeah.
[director] You just told us that their health was so bad
that you couldn't even look for Sheena and even send an email to Sheena
because their health was so bad.
Yeah, that's… until I bought the…
their health deteriorated, I said…
They were already sick.
I wanted to buy a SUV. It was like a dream for me,
to drive a SUV, because I never drove a SUV.
I was 22 years old.
I didn't have so much brain.
Mekhail is a whinger, let me tell you that.
Mekhail is a lazy bum.
Nothing else. And he is a liar.
You always have the black sheep in the family.
I think Mekhail is just that.
And I am judged because,
"Why did you walk out on your kids?"
I don't think I need to apologize for that.
[Rajdeep] Look, eight years on in this case,
there are lots of lies floating around,
and one of the difficulties in reaching the truth
is when all the key members of a family
are perhaps hiding
and not revealing the real truth.
Perhaps know much more than they've revealed already in the public domain.
And that to my mind,
makes it almost impossible to separate…
truth,
half-truths from the lies
that have been floating around.
Say-- Say-- Say again. I didn't get it.
I'm saying she's okay. You've got nothing to worry about.
[Rahul] Okay.
-[Peter] All right? -[Rahul] All right.
Where is she? Any idea?
[Peter] I have no idea. I have no idea where she is.
[Rahul] Okay. What did-- What did she say?
[Peter] And I… Huh?
[Rahul] What, what… What all did she say?
-She said, "Hi, I'm okay"? -[Peter] She didn't say very…
she didn't say very much to me.
Indrani said, "Listen, will you please speak to Jiju and…
and say that, you know, you're fine?"
-[Rahul] Yeah. -[Peter] So she said just that.
She said, "Jiju, hi! I'm… I'm fine. " And, you know…
[Rahul] Okay. Well, I, you know, you know…
actually, Papa, if you… no, no, no, actually.
Enough is enough, all right? Enough is enough.
Actually, if you listen to the…
If you think about it with a clear head and some logic, right?
This still is the same thing. I have to take your word for it, right?
I have to take Indrani's word for it. You didn't even hear her call.
I mean, she-- She--
Indrani has got Sheena's phone number, right?
She phoned her. Indrani and Sheena have come together
and probably, the chances are, that Sheena has said,
"I need to do my MBA, and I need funding for it. " Right?
And Indrani has said, "Right, I'll help you. "
"I'll help get out of here as quick as you can to go and do your MBA. "
This is the thing.
We've just got engaged, okay?
So, that's why I can't buy all this.
And, look, Papa, I love you, but you--
You know, you're pushing my limits here, man.
And I'm sure I'm pushing yours as well, but I'm sorry, I cannot buy this.
I'm still going to do my thing.
I'm going to continue on my, whatever it is, until I get some…
Some hard, clear, factual evidence that Sheena is okay, all right?
And that probably means me speaking to her.
So until I get to that stage,
I'm afraid this is all going to stay as it is in my mind, all right?
Rahul was important, most important witness of the prosecution.
It's their star witness.
We did a lot of background check and homework on Rahul.
To the extent that we got Rahul's earlier criminal record in India
and UK dug out.
Rahul Mukerjea has admitted in the court yesterday
that his house in the UK was raided by the police.
They caught him cultivating marijuana at his place.
They found six to seven plants at his residence.
They blacklisted his driving license because he committed traffic violations…
What she does to everyone in the court…
character assassination.
I smoked weed. Rahul smoked weed.
In front of the whole world, she…
does a character assassination of every person.
Everyone does small mistakes or stupid stuff in their childhood.
It has nothing to do with the case!
[dramatic music playing]
[Vaihayasi] Easily, the biggest moment in this case
was when Rahul came to court,
and he lived up to what we were all waiting
on the edge of our chairs for.
I was given to understand that Rahul
is a professionally trained actor.
Now, there was the key.
You see, theatrics can have a great level of impact,
and it is being widely reported in the media.
The moment he stepped into the box,
I know that this was not a regular witness,
and that we had a hard nut to crack.
[Vidya] Everyone really wanted to know as to what Rahul would come out and say,
when he's put in the witness box.
He did explain the entire thing.
Rahul was speaking about how much he loved Sheena.
How much he missed her,
how much he was looking out for her to return.
[Vaihayasi] But the defense's strategy was just to attack him.
And I don't think it really worked,
because you still had an overwhelming sense
of empathy for him.
When lawyer Sangle was talking about your, you know,
"We don't want to know the details of your love story. "
So, when he said that, it was like he was slapping Rahul.
And you could feel it.
He was-- He felt hurt, he felt knocked down.
Until Rahul came to the stand, I didn't feel that anybody was credible.
I didn't feel that I was seeing the truth anywhere.
But when Rahul came to the stand,
I finally felt that a lot of what he was saying was the truth.
He turned out to be the prosecution's strongest witness
'cause he really was the only person who looked for Sheena.
Nobody looked for Sheena, he looked for Sheena.
He would call up Sheena's real father and say, "Come on, look for her. "
He's continuously pestering
Siddartha Das, Sheena's biological father.
[Indrani] Alleged.
-I broke… Indrani, please. I'm… -[Indrani] Sorry.
-Sorry, sorry, sorry. -I'm in the flow. Okay?
[Vaihayasi] Rahul called him…
I think 77 times or something.
Because Rahul was living with Sheena
and Rahul was not married to her, so he had no legal rights.
So he wanted somebody who was her blood relative,
to put in a complaint.
So he was trying to convince her real father to do that.
Rahul told his love story like he was the man who loved this girl.
I mean, you could see it in his face.
Like when he would talk about Sheena in court,
his face would soften and you could see that his mind was going back.
[soft choral music playing]
[Vaihayasi] He brought her into the room. You felt that this girl had gone.
You felt the loss, the grief, the mourning.
And he reminded the court many times, that why are we here?
We're here because a girl has been murdered.
And very often when trials are going on for years together,
you forget what you're there for.
But he kept sort of bringing it back.
You felt that he was doing it because he wanted justice for Sheena.
[dramatic music playing]
[Indrani] You know, when I had hired my lawyers,
and I had come out of prison…
I had formed a WhatsApp group…
and named it "Justice for Sheena. "
Because at that point, when I came out of prison,
I believed that…
Sheena may not be alive.
I'm going to now change this, and I've seriously decided,
that I need to change that to "Justice for Indrani. "
Because I deserve justice.
I have spent six and a half years in prison,
for a girl who's probably still alive.
Okay, so at this point in time,
I think… I am, honestly, for me,
justice for myself is very, very important.
Because I have not just gone through this trial in court.
I have gone through this trial in the media.
Media just decided, everyone decided that
I was guilty.
I was called names. I was called a bad mother.
I think I have been a good mother.
I may not have been the perfect mother,
but I think I have been a good mother.
I love Vidhie a lot, I do.
I am very angry with Mekhail, for the way he has behaved,
and for all the lies that he has spread.
I have been extremely, extremely hurt by Peter.
He lied and lied and lied.
And that really made me angry
because all his lies put me into further trouble.
I think I have no family.
I think my family has let me down,
really, really badly.
And I feel really, really betrayed by it all, by my first born,
by Sheena.
I honestly feel that Sheena could have been the best.
And I feel she was diligent, she was warm,
very, very kindhearted.
Now, from that "was, " I think it is an "is, "
because if she is alive, then I take back all the things that I have said.
Because then I think she is very manipulative
and she is a very, very naughty girl.

A person decides to leave, a 25-year-old woman.
When I left home, did my parents come looking for me?
No! They didn't, right?
So nobody's talking about that, right?
Why not?
I do not need to answer to anybody anymore.
I think I'm just on my own,
and I'm very happy to be the way I am because I think…
I am in more control of my life. My emotions.
And I feel really detached from everybody.
I don't have to really pretend to be Peter Mukerjea's wife,
or I don't have to be…
You know, Vidhie's grown, Mekhail's leading his own life,
Sheena is hiding somewhere in Kashmir or whatever.
So, I am just to myself, I can just be myself.
I can laugh, I can cry. I can just do whatever I feel like.
I can say whatever I feel like and I feel great.
I really feel free now. Honestly.

[Kaveree] When you examine a case like Indrani Mukerjea…
I wouldn't even now say that I'm convinced that she didn't do it.
I really cannot say that. It's too complicated a case for me.
But I have always wondered…
this person, she had re-made from practically nothing.
She had worked pretty damn hard to build this life for herself.
Just the idea of protecting that carefully made-up life
would be enough for someone to commit murder?
But, you know, when you read about monsters,
when you read about psychopaths,
when you read about certain successful people
who sometimes are borderline psychopaths, perhaps it is possible.
Indrani Mukerjea can never escape Sheena Bora.
She will never be able to escape her in her lifetime.
Sheena Bora will travel with Indrani Mukerjea till the end of her time.
And so will the idea that she could have killed Sheena Bora,
who was her daughter.

[director] Did you murder your daughter Sheena?
What a stupid question.
