Ok now that I've cooled down a bit I've thought of another possibility besides him being really and truly dead.
So many people are thinking he's faking his death for a reason and that is reason is Bani. He's the one who got shot right so he's seen a face hopefully. This is of course someone's plan to finish him off. What if he's doing all of this to catch and expose the guy behind of of this planning. Without proof he can't go accusing everyone in sight so the first thing he needs is proof. How will he get proof...by declaring himself dead so the killer relaxes and thinks he's scot free. In the meantime Bani will come running to the hospital, Jai will tell her the plan and they'll plot this whole thing together. What do you think? Am I rambling on?
