'Manifest': Why Saanvi is the true survivor of Montego Air Flight 828

Saanvi has kept quiet and done her job diligently, in spite of being discouraged by her seniors who consider the "Callings" to be the result of schizophrenia.
UPDATED DEC 26, 2018

NBC's 'Manifest' has been following the aftermath of the sudden re-appearance of Montego Air Flight 828 which went missing almost five and a half years ago. And when the passengers arrived, they were subjected to some strange voices in their heads that they began to interpret as the "callings".

While some of the passengers have assumed divine intervention in the "callings", others have been trying to reason with the help of science. This is exactly where the Jeff Rake-created show sees a fine line of difference between Parveen Kaur's character Saanvi and the rest of the passengers. 

Starring alongside Josh Dallas (as Ben Stone), Athena Karkanis (as Grace), Melissa Roxburgh (as Michaela Stone), Kaur's character stands out due to her intelligence, her presence of mind, and above all her determination to find a cure to disease as deadly as cancer.

Although Saanvi was on the plane with the other passengers, she has kept calm about the whole issue of the plane disappearing for five and a half years. However, on being exposed to the "callings" she began her own set of experiments and research that led to the discovery of certain brain tissues that were not there in her brain when she boarded the plane.
