Vikas shouted at the nurse, and that's when she told him that the patient had only a few hours left. From that day, he prayed that this wouldn't happen to him, but the fear came true when, in March 2022, the nurse told him, 'visiting hours don't apply to him'. Talking about the same, Vikas said:

"The nurse told me that visiting hours do not apply to you. It was my biggest fear. When they say visiting hours do not apply to you it means the patients has few hours or minutes. Mai haath jod kar bol raha hoonp please apply this.. Vo mera sabse bada fear tha, I can't get over it. When she passed away she was holding my hand."

Vikas further recalled his bond with his sister, Radhika and shared that sisters are different. He said, 'Jitna gussa behna chadwa sakti hai utna koi nahi chadwa skta.' He added that sisters are a form of mothers, daughters, and grandmothers, and they are the first ones to fight with the world and with you.
