Twinkle assured Rinke of safe shelter and sufficient food to tide over the difficult times. She said, "In the midst of Operation Sindoor, I had urged her to come to Mumbai until things settled down. ‘Delhi could be high up on the target list,’ I told her, ‘I don’t have a bunker, but the building has a large basement. I also have two Godrej cupboards we can use as fortifications. Don’t worry about food. I have stocked two months of rations, and the best part is that I have even bought a large stainless steel paneer maker.’ She interrupted me, ‘To use as a shield?’"

Rinke felt safer staying near PM Modi

Rinke refused to leave Delhi and shift to Mumbai during Operation Sindoor. "‘No, to make homemade paneer for us.’ I explained that the fake paneer epidemic is somewhat concerning, and the food minister has already written to our health minister J P Nadda about it. ‘Just bring your kids and come quickly.’ ‘To eat paneer,’ she asked. ‘No, to be safe from Pakistani missiles'. My sister refused my kind offer. She lives within one kilometre of the PM’s residence and claimed she felt safer there than hunkering down in the basement with me," Twinkle wrote.
