Did you enter into any agreement with the owner?

It is not clear how it matters whether your friend told that you are related to her or not? You say there is an agreement with the owner. You have paid some advance. Then upon your vacating, the owner has to give back the advance money to you. If anything is due from your friend to the house owner then she should get it from your friend and not you, provided the terms of the agreement are clear in this respect.
Otherwise, you have to talk to your friend and try to get the amount from her (as she seems to have kept some dues to the owner).

Thank you for the reply, Sir.
I tried to talk to her but she told me that she will cut more than 50% of the amount for the rents of the month that I'm not staying there and that I shouldn't have anything to do with the owner anymore. I requested her to come with me to the owner's place so that we all can talk and come to terms. She agreed two days back but now she is saying that she isn't available on that day. The owner/she hasn't returned the deposit of the previous tenant of my room. My flatmate is not complying to come with me to the owner to sort things out. What should I do in this case?
Also, I had talked to the owner's wife before and she agreed to pay me the entire deposit after listening to my woes in the condition that I bring my flatmate with me.
Please advise.

Now, it is in your hands to convince your flatmate to come with you to the owner. You cannot do anything else legally.

Okay, Sir.
Thank you.
