Jhanvi Gupta

Jhanvi Gupta was one of Kiran Rathod's friends during $$.

Two weeks before Day 1, Jhanvi met Dev at a party, and arranged to see him at another party at Sun Villa the night before Day 1. She invited Kiran, by posting on her Friendspace account, but Kiran refused as it was her mother's birthday celebrations. However, at 12:10am, Kiran called Jhanvi and said she wanted to come after all, and so Jhanvi drove to her house and picked her up. At the party she introduced Kiran to Dev, and they drank shots. Dev then introduced his friend Rohit, who had a new Mercedes. Rohit offered to take them for a drive, and they agreed. However, when Kiran asked to be taken home, the boys refused, and Dev threatened Jhanvi. Kiran told the boys that her father was a government official, but Dev started choking Jhanvi. He let go once Kiran stopped resisting, but Jhanvi started coughing in the back seat. Rohit parked by an abandoned building and Dev made Kiran call her mother, threatening to hurt Jhanvi further if she did not. Dev then slammed the car door on Jhanvi's hand, and Kiran relented. Later Kiran dressed her wounded hand, and Rohit injected her with heroin to soothe the pain. A short while later, while Dev and Rohit were arguing, Kiran and Jhanvi escaped by running into some abandoned buildings. Rohit and Dev gave chase, and they almost caught them before the girls escaped through a fence. They met a man on the street, and asked to use his phone, but he responded by grabbing Jhanvi. Kiran then hit him with a tree branch, and they grabbed his phone and ran. Kiran managed to call her mother for help, but Dev and Rohit appeared, so they continued running, but Jhanvi was hit by a car. Kiran was recaptured, but they left Jhanvi on the road, alive but wounded. A homeless man passed her by, and stole her watch as she lay on the ground. At around 3:30am, Dev returned to the scene with the intention of killing her, but an ambulance arrived and loaded her onto a stretcher. She was taken to JD Hospital, and Dr Nabare worked to save her life. Just before 5am, she went into critical condition, but the doctors managed to stabilise her. After her surgery, she was taken to a room and was visited by Kartik Chandrashekhar, who was posing as her father. She didn't recognise him, but he quickly suffocated her in her bed.
