00:00Nana, how well do you know about the phase when Twisha had met Samarth on that dating app, how the
00:08courtship period went, any sort of red flag she sensed at that time that she may have spoken of but
00:15he probably talked her into it is just something I'm supposing and trying to get details from you. What clarity
00:24can you share of that particular phase?
00:25So I am going to be very clear and honest about it. While she was in a relationship with this
00:31guy, I was not around because I was doing courses, I was traveling, I'm into the wellness industry, so I
00:36was not in touch with her. However, this information or this substance and facts can be given by her parents
00:43exactly. But as per Samarth's psychology, I can understand that he could have predicted very well that I am a
00:49nice guy, right? We have been living in the metro cities and we know how this works, how the online
00:54dating app works.
00:55I think he predicted well enough that, okay, I live in Gopal, she lives in Noida, she's far away from
01:01her parents, I just want to get married and I just want a baby. I'm a patriarchal narcissist man, I
01:06can handle a girl with a simple mindset.
01:08So he planned everything. I cannot believe that this just happened right after the dating. He had everything planned. Everything
01:15was planned. The way they were handling things on her death made things very clear that this was all premeditated.
01:22And I'm sorry, I'm having to ask you personal details at this very sensitive time. But unfortunately, it's all out
01:27in public domain, where Tvisha's mother-in-law has claimed that she was consuming drugs, and she had admitted that
01:34she was consuming marijuana. Anything that you can share of Tvisha's habits, if any, or whether she was consuming any
01:42sort of medicines or anything? Can you speak on that?
01:46Absolutely not. If I say right now that, if I can say that Rangirwala consumed marijuana so much, is there
01:52any evidence? No.
01:53If she had so much problem while going, why did she attend Rangirwala's brother's marriage? She could have reported the
01:58same thing there, that your daughter is consuming marijuana, she's a schizophrenia. Why didn't she report then?
02:05She's making all these allegations. These are all bogus and vague allegations. You can prove nothing out of this. And
02:11also, I knew my sister, she did not need drugs to be happy, or to, you know, make herself happy.
02:18She was such a good soul. She did not need drugs and all of this nonsense that she's talking about.
02:23And you have to see the body language of Rangirwala. In the CCTV footage, on the live interviews, how she's
02:29going. My mommy, she is dying every day. You can see, she cannot sleep thinking that my daughter-in-law
02:35is in the mortuary. My daughter is in the mortuary. And look at how casually she is. There is not
02:40a single iota of fear in her eyes. No iota of fear in her eyes. She's just casually giving the
02:45interviews like it is all prepared. It's a script. They are just following it.
02:49And this script can turn around only if Samarth is arrested. Then we can take, this entire case can take
02:58a U-turn.
03:00And Nena, the time when Twisha started seeking help from a therapist, a psychiatrist, was the family fully aware? Would
03:08she discuss details of how those sessions went? Or what she would speak to the therapist about?
03:17Well, ma'am, about the sessions, I just got to know about it. However, I want to say that let's
03:22normalize couples taking therapy. If they were taking therapy, it's not a crime, right?
03:27And this does not define that my sister was a schizophrenic. A couple taking therapy is a positive thing that
03:33they are trying to work towards their marriage, right? In a generation where everything is so fast, AI is taking
03:40over.
03:41There is a lot of opinion out around here on social media. If they were seeking help through a psychiatrist,
03:47a psychologist or psychiatrist, it's not a bad thing. An analysis telling that there was something not right about the
03:54couple and they are trying to fix it. I don't think it's wrong. I'm a girl of this.
03:57So you do say this on record that this was couple therapy and not therapy that Twisha was taking solo.
04:06I am saying that if her mother-in-law is claiming it could be a couple therapy, but not Twisha's
04:13single therapy, it cannot be true. And you cannot make an assumption about somebody's mental health based on just one
04:20month analysis.
04:21If there is any psychologist or somebody who does mental analysis, he or she can tell that one month analysis
04:27is not enough. I'm into the wellness industry myself. I cannot do evaluation of somebody's wellness based on just one
04:34month yoga practice and sound healing. It takes time. It takes time. So even if they are going to submit
04:40it, I don't think the one month analogy is enough to prove that my sister was what they said, schizophrenic.
04:47It's all bullshit. She was very much in her senses.
04:51And she did not do this. And she did not do this. I can guarantee you. Her injuries, her body
04:56is dreaming that it has not done something. I mean, like, this was done forcefully. This was done forcefully.
05:04So you would say that there were no signs of self-destruction that one had really read in her ever
05:10in her life while growing up before this marriage, not that she was a person like that?
05:16No, not at all. Not at all. I mean, this girl was full of life. She was the life of
05:25everything that we did. I missed her so much on my wedding because I knew she's the energy of and
05:31fuel for my wedding.
05:32So this is all nonsense. Nonsense. She never did that. I knew her since the age of six. And till
05:392022, I knew her very deeply. Then, of course, I moved on with my life. She moved on with her
05:44life.
05:45There were no signs of self-destruction or whatever they are just telling. No, not at all.
05:50Nena, I laud you for being so brave and speaking at this very sensitive time.
05:55Twisha's loss. Extremely unfortunate. Bright girl. Young girl who unfortunately took such an extreme step.
06:02And the family seeking justice for her, not willing to perform the last rites.
06:09I understand the investigation continues. But before I let you go, one last question, Nena.
06:15How is the family now planning to take this forward?
06:19Well, right now, the situation is very bleak because at the same time, there is a lot of media around
06:26there.
06:27They're trying to figure out how to do it. Samad has not been arrested.
06:30So factually, I have a very little knowledge what we are going to do.
06:34But one thing is for sure that we are not going to let Twisha liberated without Samad being arrested.
06:41She's still in the mortuary. We want justice. We want to file a proper charge sheet against this card.
06:46And we want the support of police. The right person to talk about what is the next step is her
06:51father
06:52because he is the decision maker and he is taking the bait and forward for her daughter's justice.
06:58We want justice.
06:59So courage through this difficult time.
