What Happens at the End of Shaque: Trust No One?

Throughout the runtime of the series, we are forced to confront the horrible truth that everyone around Anvita is only wearing a mask – there’s nothing truthful about the relationships that she cherishes so much. While she believes her husband, friends, and mother-in-law love her, the truth is that none of them has been truthful to her. As a result, in the end, Anvita learns that everyone’s secrets culminated in the kidnapper getting away scot-free.

When Apeksha was born, someone claiming to be a nurse kidnapped the baby. No one in Anvita’s surroundings was primarily responsible for it, but everyone added to the misfortune in their own way. Bhaskar, running a surrogacy racket, deleted the video of the nurse running away with the baby to cover up for one of her surrogates coming to the hospital. Alok and Shreya’s affair is exposed, along with the revelation that they had run away after causing an accident, leaving the other person injured and alone on the road. Plus, she also comes to realise that she had been drugged.

With every picture that Anvita received of her daughter on her birthday, it is revealed that, in the end, it was someone who knew her well and still contributed to her misery. The question, thus, isn’t simply about whether or not her daughter is alive but whom among her close ones was responsible for it.

Who Abducted Anvita’s Daughter and Why?

We finally come to realise, thanks to a DNA test, that the kidnapper was Sakshi. As it turns out, nine years ago, Sakshi had come to Shimla on her own without telling her husband and found herself in an accident – the same accident that Alok and Shreya ran away from. As a result, Sakshi lost her child. Unable to get over the grief, she decided to take revenge against the people who caused her harm and, after realising that Anvita is pregnant, chose to steal her baby to make up for her loss.

With the help of her househelp, she orchestrated this entire thing and successfully ran away with Apeksha as a form of revenge. However, eventually, she felt guilty after realising that Anvita was innocent in all of this and started to send her photos to let her know that she is taking care of her daughter.

It’s a twisted and shocking revelation that showcases the destruction that one wrong decision causes and the ripple effects that it can have. It’s a fight between two mothers who, despite understanding each other’s truths, are unable to run away from the consequences of their actions.

Why Does Anvita Struggle to Trust Her Judgments?

This is a rather depressing revelation that audiences might have seen coming. In a heartbreaking twist, we see that Madhu was drugging Anvita from the beginning at the behest of the baba because she did not approve of Alok’s relationship with her. She wanted to frame Anvita as crazy to ease Alok out of the marriage, believing that her son was destined for bigger and better things and could do better than her. She even approved Alok’s affair with Shreya, believing the two to be a better pair. However, the truth is eventually revealed by Inspector Khuranna who takes her into custody.

Do the Guilty Face Justice?

In the end, everyone responsible for their illegal actions faces justice, including Bhaskar, Madhu, the false baba and others. However, when it comes to Sakshi, they have an emotional face-off, at the end of which Sakshi chooses to end her life realising that she has caused enough damage to innocent people.

What Does the Ending Mean?

In the end, we see Anvita happy with her two daughters who are happily playing together. She remembers Khuranna’s words that good things will eventually come her way, and it’s evident that she was finally granted respite from the torture that she has faced over the years. It’s a blessing and a curse because it opened her eyes to the room full of backstabbers that she had around her and let her have a fresh start in life.

The series, thus, showcases that the truth will come out eventually and that trust is something that one shouldn’t easily give away. When everyone around her doubted her, Anvita held on to hope that eventually proved to be fruitful.
