He learns that Aarushi was advised by her friend to not promote a specific cosmetic brand, as it contains harmful chemicals that are unknown to scientists. Vasudeva and his team head to meet Aarushi’s friend, but find that he was murdered two days ago. Vasudeva retrieves a cosmetic sample from his house and finds a connection with the death of Olivia, a deceased Hollywood actress, who was killed when she drank a drugged juice.
