Who is Vishvambhar's unseen advisor for the plot against Arjun?

Vishvambhar and Vidyadhar might have thought that Savi was refusing to marry Arjun simply to make a clean getaway from Kavathe-Bhairavgad, without legally entangling herself in marriage just to get a couple of signatures.
Vidyadhar might have expected Savi to make any excuse to him, as she would to Priya or Krishna'i or anyone who isn't privy to the plan she attributes to Vishvambhar. "I need to work and earn, not play wife to the owner." "I'm too young to marry anyone." "I like women, not men." "Arjun Sir and I aren't compatible."
Or, Savi might have tried to keep Arjun infatuated by telling Vidyadhar that she loves Arjun but she can't live in the house where Bhaiyu visits, where Balaram lives.
Since this modern Savitri has had to save Arjun's life and limb so many times, she could even have said that she loves him but doesn't want to be a widow in a year!
Vidyadhar might have played along with any of these lies, pleading with Savi that when Arjun shares his wealth and responsibility with her, it will be good for the whole family. Knowing how Savi loots the rich, Vidyadhar might have tried to plant the idea that she could get a divorce settlement from Arjun. "Savitri Madam, only you can outwit Vishvambhar Māmā and Balaram if they try to cheat Arjun."
When Savi confessed that she loves Arjun, Vidyadhar's expression communicated that he actually believed her and hardened his resolve that she must take the fall for Arjun's murder. Lust for Arjun could tempt Savi to marry him and be convincing in intimacy.
However, as soon as Savi found the courage to admit that she's a thief, Vidyadhar's triumphant-pretending-to-be-kind smile was transformed into barely concealed fury. Instead of plain lust, pure love that motivated Savi to betray the plan to Vidyadhar would enable her to tell all to Arjun as well. Vidyadhar knew that he had to talk Savi out of this self-sacrificing mood.
In between Vidyadhar saying that he would confront Vishvambhar and insisting that Savi must not confess to Arjun and must marry him, Vidyadhar really should have said that Savi's remorse is enough for him to forgive her, and she deserves to be happy and free of her past. Otherwise, Savi would wonder why Vidyadhar is sounding like Vishvambhar!
Fine acting by both Rasika Wakharkar and Gaurav Malankar!
Savi was refusing to marry Arjun ...
"I like women, not men."
Imagine this scene
Arjun, for the nth time "Savitri, why won't you marry me?"
Savi, a bit drunk and a whole lot frustrated. "What part of 'I'm not interested' do you not understand?"
"But-"
"No buts and ifs. Okay, fine I'll tell you. Do you understand the difference between aesthetic attraction
and romantic/sexual attraction? I said I like you the other day because that shirt and cologne combo was really aesthetically pleasing. You looked cute. But that's all."
"I am not following -"
"Exactly! Stop following me! I don't do men. I despise all of them and hate most. Tolerate a few despite the hate. 😡"
"What have I done? Why are you so angry at me?"
Savi, chugs a bit more of whiskey?! "Look, this stays between us. The reason I can't get married is cuz it's not legal. The day SC approves our marriage, I will go and live happily ever after with my wife. Not get all the way off my back about marrying you. I like women, not men."
Arjun picks up the bottle, contemplating his existence or why he fell for someone who's door doesn't swing that way.
Fin.
Thanks for the lovely prompt.

Brilliant! Now, you just need images of Sneha blowing kisses to Savi for your book cover!

Thanks a bunch! That seems really cute! Poor Arjun, is confused and not jealous yet but will be 🤣
Also, I hate the new promo, Arjun putting sindoor and mangalsutra on Savi

I find the promo distasteful. Arjun actually pricks his thumb on the triśūla and puts his own blood at Savi's hairline - gross! As if they couldn't just walk into the temple and ask for a pinch of kuṅkū.
And that maṅgaḷasūtra might be the same one that Savi showed Kane Kākā when Arjun was in a hurry to use the washroom.
Poor Krishna'i and Priya, daydreaming of sprinkling akṣatā as these two garland each other! This couple could have had a dignified legal wedding, so why are they eloping and improvising the ceremony with a body fluid?
That's exactly what I hate about it. Like just go inside the temple and do it properly. Panditji would be more than happy to arrange for a proper wedding within half an hour.

Maybe they try that and run into the temple's substitute priests, crossed-over Gajanan and Raghav Purohit from Ramā Rāghava.
Gajanan: "I must warn you in the strongest possible terms that getting married without first comparing your horoscopes leaves open the possibility of mṛtyu-ṣaḍ-aṣṭaka-yoga!"
Raghav: "Of course, I'll perform a quick ceremony. First, we'll perform a pūjā of every individual kalaśa ..." (slips away to call Sharada, whose phone number Pradip still has)
Gajanan: "What do you mean, Arjun, your parents are dead? Don't you know how priceless a parent's blessing is? How can you be so inconsiderate of our culture and its glorious traditions?"
Raghav: "Did your father have a second wife, by any chance, Arjun? In good conscience, I cannot allow this wedding to proceed without giving her her due place. That's why I've been chanting Puruṣa-sūkta on infinite loop."
Gajanan: "Before I recite your saptapadī vows, I want your solemn promise that you will not head to a hotel room after the ceremony. Hotel rooms are society's passage to Rasātaḷa. Whatever you want to do in a hotel room, you should control your urge until you reach your own gomūtra-purified home and perform the garbhādhāna. Pāṇī soḍā ..."
Continuing...
Arjun *taking Savi to a side* : how about we find a different temple with less annoying priest?
Savi nods.
Arjun : well, uncle, thank you for all the questions, I have informed our families, who shall arrive in 3-5 business days. See you later, alligator.
Both leave and come across another small temple with no priest in sight.
Arjun puts the diva in middle. Plays the Saptapadi on YouTube.
Arjun : You are ready to get married?
Savi : can I say No?
Arjun : no.
Savi : f* you!
Arjun : that's on the agenda but later tonight *winks*
Savi : a husband in hand and a wife in bush... Works I guess? 😆
They get married with E-pundit. 😎
Savi's brain plays bi bi..Bai Bai bye bye on repeat. 🤣
Come on makers, don't be shy. Give us this crossover one hour episode 😈
