Then maybe she was closest that day, wherever she was. I do think it was about beating the clock because there is nothing barring family from posting the surety. For Arbaaz, his mother and brother did it. SRK could have just done it himself. It would have not have required any third person. I think they were trying to get it done as quickly as possible even though plans didn't work out.
Highly doubt it.
For one, Maneshinde and gang would have to be extremely disorganized to be calling around SRK's fam and friends at the last minute to figure who is closest AND would have clean record with enough immovable assets.
For another, Juhi would have had to show some papers I imagine to tehsildar to get the certificate. My most recent experience with a bank in India required me to notarize my passport, OCI card, U.S. driver's license, all in duplicate, then get the bank form notarized. Trust me, it was a mega pain. 😆 Then there would be financial documents which people don't leave lying around at home. Juhi is not going to be carrying those with her while shopping or dining out or shooting.
My feeling is legal team knew it was a possibility and had her ready to go a few days in advance, perhaps even from the first bail hearing.
