Background
Cheerful but anxious doctor, Rashid is the youngest of a large family. His sibling are all high-flyers so he feels he needs to prove himself but doesn’t have the confidence to back himself up. Still living at home, with his overprotected mother, Rash sees his position at Holby a chance to reinvent himself.
Rash starts a relationship with porter Gemma. Despite a few rocky times, it’s clear the pair care about eachother. They plan to go travelling together, but when Gemma’s brother Iain attempts suicide, she feels her duty to stay with him. Rash wants some freedom before doing more medical studies, Gemma and his mum realise they need to let him go. But with Iain’s blessing she joins him later in the series.
Rash returns to Holby at the beginning of Series 34. His mother was dying so immediately returned to be with her. Gemma has stayed on travelling and tells him not to wait for her. Following his mother’s funeral, Rash is abruptly called upon following a suspected terror attack at Holby Market. He insists on helping in the ED. Rash decides to delay his return to work, but when he visits the ED, a young mother asks for his help with her ill daughter and he stays. Rash is assigned as new F1 Mason’s mentor, and leaves him with the mother when his father arrives at the hospital. Mason expresses his feelings about his shift to Rash, who vows that as F1 doctors, they must support each other. However, Mason then complains about Rash to Dylan. Rash and Mason have a tense relationship as Mason doesn’t own up to mistakes he has made and blames Rash. Rash meanwhile, resents Ethan for passing the responsibility of Mason on to him. The pair end in a tense argument that leads to Rash punching Ethan. However the whole team are in shock when Rash finds Mason dead in a store cupboard. Emotional Rash meets with his mother and eventually breaks into tears when a patient hugs him.
