Welcome to Rishabh's school of Over-the-top acting, where drama is the syllabus, lying is a subject, and by the time you graduate, you'll be so convincing even you won’t know if you're faking it or feeling it

Rishab has talent and is very logical in how he lies. It is unclear how he was unemployed for so long.
So the argument about how his name is not on the lease document -- well usually they put only one person's name and so it makes sense. Marriage certificate in office for some HR purposes. Okay, that is also believable.
Him claiming to be in merchant navy and being away for years -- okay that is a bit of stretch because they work for max 6 months but long distance marriages do exist. He could have just said Middle East or some foreign country. But whatever, it does make sense that when it is a long distance marriage, tongues wag.
Story time: One of my extended relatives, her hubby went to Delhi for job. she refused to relocate. Her personality is really kadoos and so people in her kid's school, community thought these two were separated/divorced and that is why she is so kadoos!! She then made him take leave to come to PTA meeting just to prove otherwise. it was amusing.
Anyway, my point is that with long distance marriages, people can definitely assume all sorts of things like the person being single. So Rishab cooks stories but he keeps it 50% within the realm of reason that it makes sense for characters to believe him. I appreciate the writer's sense of logic.
