Niharika is the absolute queen of the underworld, but she stands completely alone in her empire. There is no one in her corner, no one to hold her hand, and no shoulder for her to cry on. She is a cold-blooded killer who buried her heart a long time ago. She lives in total isolation, drinking like it's her religion and smoking like it's her only oxygen. Honestly, taking lives is the only reason she even bothers staying alive. She doesn't believe in God at all, and if He actually does exist, she is officially His biggest hater. Yet, despite being this terrifying, lonely mafia boss who has absolutely nobody, she still does the intense Mahakal Akhanda Sankalpa Puja every single year. She does it all for someone else—someone who isn't even there with her.

That is because underneath all that scary, intimidating energy, Niharika is a massive, unapologetic simp for the memory of the one she loves. She is totally whipped and hopelessly devoted to a ghost, dropping to her knees to pray to the gods she hates just to keep that absent person safe. She is the ultimate, isolated protector who would happily murder the whole world without blinking, utterly alone in the dark, destroying herself for a love that leaves her completely by herself.
