Character bio
Ketan grew up near Porbandar most of his life, and became friends with one Darshan Chawla, as they both studied together at Shri K. H. Madhvani College. Wishing to go into agricultural tech, Ketan envied the chance to get a scholarship to be an exchange student, and to study abroad in Texas. Alas, Darshan won the scholarship instead. Ketan wanted Darshan to be successful, even telling Darshan to put off his plans to marry Mahima in order to get a foreign degree. He reasoned that if Darshan did this, he could secure a path for all of them to leave India.

However, both Darshan and Ketan's plans were quickly derailed when Daruka Naidu discovered their underground church. A riot broke out across the city, and Ketan was forced to flee for his safety along with Darshan into the woods - ironically not far from the very Hindu temple from which Daruka had recruited his band of rioters.

The two make their way a short while later to the airport, where Ketan urges Darshan to buy plane tickets and begin his journey in America. However, right as Darshan resolves to stay in India, and search for Mahima, in spite Ketan urging that to be suicide, Filforth's meteors destroy the airport. The duo are forced to flee the airport for dear life, with Ketan having a difficult time comprehending why God would make up Darshan's mind for everyone in such a dramatic fashion.

Once a freed Mahima is able to get a hold of a phone and access a still-functioning cell service tower, she alerts Ketan and Darshan to her location. The duo risk near-certain death amidst the meteor storm in their quest to rescue her. Miraculously, all three of them survive the remaining cataclysm. Ketan later flees to the north, becoming the best man at Darshan and Mahima's wedding. Darshan pursues his dreams of running a homestead and starting a carbonated beverage business without his American degree. Ketan gets a part-time business office position, and otherwise moves to Darshan's new homestead to assist with upkeep.

It's unclear entirely what becomes of Ketan afterward, although he did get to visit Texas at the behest of Stefflin Records; which invited him over to help with Corando re-telling the tale of the destruction of Porbandar from Darshan's point of view for the sake of making a music video to their song "Don't Lose Hope."
