Anjulika's spirit was locked in a room for eighteen years while Manjulika pretended to be her.
Ruhan reveals that he knew the truth and had pretended to be possessed so the truth was unveiled. Anjulika's spirit appears and Manjulika admits to everything. Anjulika's spirit then drags and traps Manjulika in the same room where she was locked and talks to her family. She asks them to forgive Reet because her innocence was proven because of her. She thanks Ruhan, and Manjulika is heard screaming to be let out. Anjulika asks the family to leave because she has unfinished business with her sister and proceeds to enter the locked room after which screaming is heard.
