Are the 9W flights on a separate booking?
You cay 'connection' so let's assume they are on the same booking.
In which case it is 9W who is responsible for rebooking you should you miss the VS flight. They will rebook according to their policies. A hotel would also depend on their policies so you may have to pay for that and possibly reclaim from your insurance. Being on an award shouldn't make any difference to the rebooking.
As this is more of a 9W rather than a VS issue I've alerted a mod to consider moving your post to the 'India Based airlines' board.
