In this opening segment of the Manifest with IMK interview, host Paridhi Dhingra asks RJ Parikshit about his feelings toward his late mother. Parikshit responds with a simple, heartfelt wish that his mother could have been present to see his life. The host then reframes his grief, asserting that the emotions he attributes to his mother are actually rooted in an existing internal tendency to cling to people and a "missing factor" that predates his mother's death. She explains that crises, such as the loss of a parent, do not create new feelings but amplify pre‑existing emotional patterns, and she proposes to explore how this longstanding attachment developed in his life.

Let's begin with something beautiful. What do you feel about your mom?
यार, only one thing. I hope she was here to see.
What you're feeling with mom is not about mom. I I know hypothetically it feels that if mom was here, you wouldn't feel this. Hypothetically, it feels that way. I guarantee it's not true, and I'll prove it to you right. You've been feeling like this for a moment. The difference is, crisis and opportunities don't make you feel anything. They only multiply what you already have. Mom is obviously gone, so that's a crisis. Now that crisis multiplied what you already had inside you, which is the ability to not let go of things and not let go of people and feeling missing factor. And missing factor has been part of your life long ago before moment. Let's find out how.
