Rinku might be the baby of the ICT gang, but even he was emotionally aware to understand that something had changed, dramatically, in the weeks since Shubman was back. He understood something about a kidnapping and Ishan saving the day; he overheard Shikhar talking to Siraj about Ishan's haunting gaze, causing shivers to erupt on Rinku's arm. One day, when he came across Shahneel trying to coax Shubman to get ready and go out with Sara and he snapped, actually snapped at his sister, was when Rinku understood - something was simmering and it wasn't going to end well.

Not knowing what to do, he turned to the only person he knew would help - Virat.
