Vaani took to Instagram, where she shared that she woke up to the alarming AQI touching 447 in New Delhi. She wrote: “Woke up to Delhi's AQI touching 447, one of the highest in the world today. Maybe next year, we find a way to celebrate without dimming the air we breathe.”

Earlier this year, Vaani made her debut in OTT with “Mandala Murders,” based on the novel “The Butcher of Benares.” Set in the fictional town of Charandaspur, Uttar Pradesh, it blends mystery, supernatural horror, and psychological thriller elements. The series follows detectives Rea Thomas and Vikram Singh as they investigate ritualistic murders linked to a secret cult, the Aayastis, and a mythical entity called Yast. It explores themes of faith vs science and love vs sacrifice, combining modern police procedural with occult practices.
