How did the River know so much about Jahnavi?

Correct Answer

The River knew so much about Jahnavi because she visited the riverbank every day, or almost every day.

The River mentions this when it says, 'when you have been coming here to see me every day, well, almost every day.'

Since Jahnavi came to the river regularly, the River observed her closely and learned about her life, her fears, and her dreams.

The River knew about her daily routine, her family situation, and her desire to go to school because it had been watching her for years.
