The ghoonghat in T04 is not merely clothing but an interface —a point of transaction between physical modesty and digital exposure. Drawing on Chun’s (2016) concept of “habits of the veil,” I argue that the episode literalizes the duality: the cloth hides a face but also houses a technological node (NFC tag). This is a radical departure from traditional cinematic depictions (e.g., Mother India , Bandit Queen ) where the veil signifies suffering. Here, the veil enables surveillance evasion. Meera weaponizes the very object designed to erase her agency.
