When I read the IF article,I didn't even believe it.It was so out of the blue that Atharv was a gold medalist in shooting and could shoot blindfolded.So I even commented it is 'funny' in that article.
And the same day,The precap didn't show him blindfolded so I concluded that article is fake.But in the episode,Sujatha told that he is a gold medalist.And so much focus was given to Atharv's ear(đđđ...his hearing) that day.
So,I am curious now.Why the detail?Recovery during the terrorist track.maybe?Or just to confuse us.
