Also, Dev Alahan, played by Jimmi Harkishin, struggles with his guilt after he was forced to make the heartbreaking decision of which of his kids he dragged from the wreck of his burning car when the smoke seeped in around them. 

Believing Asha to be in more danger he went to her aid and carried her away from the car just before it exploded.
