Video footage:-
Mr Ansari : I'll start from the start, while I was making the staff clean the kitchen after royal dinner the night before Princess Mannat's death I spotted flower seeds in a bowl. I thought as the dinner was in the lawn they might have fallen in the bowl.
Next morning when I found out that Princess Mannat is no more, I was shocked as she was young and couldn't just die in sleep. Hence I did some digging that's when I found out that the flower in Suraiyya Ma'am's pot is poisonous.
To fulfill the demand of King Murtaza's will Ranimaa searched for you, I wanted to save you from the one who harmed Princess Mannat that's why I was sending you chits. Still you married Mr Zia Shah so now it was my duty to protect you from that person.
That night when you were roaming alone in the palace I only warned you through chit. Later to help you I clicked CCTV camera's loop button so that you can find out the truth which I'm also trying to find.
I knew that King Murtaza use to maintain a diary and always kept it in his study that's the reason I wanted you to find it so that you'll know anything that will help you in your investigation.
The moment your powers will be transferred to Prince Sharik you'll be out of this palace like a tissue paper therefore I sent that chit telling you not sign the Power Of Attorney paper's.
Until now I wasn't sure who is the culprit of Princess Mannat's death although on your engagement when I overheard her talking to herself in her room I found out it was her.
I wanted to tell the truth to everyone nonetheless stopped myself from doing as no one would believe me. Her words have more weight than mine because she is a royal member whereas I'm a worker.
Last week I was amazed when she ordered me to arrive in the dungeon. I went through the tunnel near my room. As soon as I entered the dungeon she hit on back of my head with a metal rod and said...
Person : What did you thought? You'll reveal my identity to Nayab furthermore save her. It's not gonna happen she'll also die the same way Mannat died.
Soha{curious} : Who is she uncle?
Mr Ansari : Sh...she...I..... {He close his eyes as the sedatives started working}
###
Nayab{devastated} : Still we don't know who is this person?
Soha : It can be either Ranimaa or Suraiyya Ma'am.
Nayab : Suraiyya chachi has a motive on the other hand why would Ranimaa wanna kill Mannat?
Soha : Everyone in this world is wearing masks to hide their inner demon.
Nayab : Maybe, I'll take a leave now.
Soha : Be careful.
Nayab : I'll, you too take care of yourself and Mr Ansari.
Soha : Sure.
