Vikram picked up his camera and started a new project: "The Silent Protectors." He decided to photograph people who, like Aryan's father, work behind the scenes. Riya became his assistant. The two searched the city streets for those "hidden heroes."
One rainy night, Vikram asked Riya, "Will I ever be forgiven?" Riya pulled out the same red string and said, "Before asking for forgiveness, you must change yourself." Vikram took the first photo that night, one that showed no animosity, only pain and hope.
