Fans have turned anti - rishi: Not really. They are against this new Rishi whom they do not recognize at all. The change in his character is that drastic.

Story Arc: Hope atleast something is achieved by this on - off marriage thing. till now they have ruined rishi, indira, inshi (atleast for me) & mocked the whole institution of marriage. God alone knows where they are heading wid this stuff. About the IPLs & ManShi, neither should have come as a surprise. IPLs were planned well in advance + the CVs knew the popularity of Inshi (which is the same as the audiences not liking indu & rishi being paired wid anybody else)...so y experiment in a crucial phase like the IPLs? is dis adventurous, insensitive or plain foolish?

Rishis growth: I accept the story is all about Indira, but then if Rishi is supposed to be her partner, then well his character too should get some importance if not as much as hers. And this importance is not in terms of screen space but in terms of well defined character growth. STOP using Rishi as a filler. You make him do comedy, make him fight sometimes, beat him up at will, he shows a bit of self respect, then suddenly he is a loser, one moment he is delivering killer one liners, after a few months he utters lines which make even his die hard fans cringe! WTH! will the real Rishi please stand up! This is an important character in the show...whether anybody likes it or not, admits it or not. He is an asset, use him properly. He can make or break your show. CVs recognize this & give him his due!

Writers finding their feet: i have already written about ManShi above. This could have been avoided had they not experimented with Rishis character as & how they wished. The makers promised us something different. Was the plot of ManShi different? Why even head for something which is so old & so boring?

The worst part for me that this 'no -twist' (the twist being Rishi leaving SN for good after the case) has brought is that Rishi completely lost his self respect. And self respect once lost can never be regained. Never esteem anything as of advantage to you dat will make u lose your self respect.,...is all i will like to say to Rishi.

thanks for this post, J. i agree! im just hoping that HD's story will improve and they will try to redeem Insh's characterization. they have to show them strong, intelligent, and with self respect like they used to have earlier on in the show, & make up for the rapid pace and blunders they made.

What a point you have made Surma...

On the contrary, look at INdu despite she gets 100s of taunt per day from her mother, she loves her unconditionally and Rishi on the other hand is totally submerged in love, he forgot his mother completely. If you compare Kutumb with Simi, Simi is better than kutumb by a big margin but still Rishi doesn't have that love that Indu has for her ungrateful mother.

In my opinion, CVs have sabotaged Rishi character in 2 counts:

Lack of Self Respect:

1) He is shown as someone who has absolutely no self respect. In the past too, they were times when Indu behaved rudely or was harsh, he took it like a school boy listening to taunts from his teacher.

2) Rishi calling Vidit bhaiya was not digestable for me.

3) Rishi got mericelessly bashed by Munna, yet he had no hard feelings over him, even a naukar at home wouldn't take that. It doesn't mean in love you can take any insult on you.

4) Kutumb always treated him like a garbage, but still he is nice and soft to her while his own mother when taunts him, he rebels her and back answers her, but not with Kutumb why ?

5) The whole family doesn't have gratitude towards Rishi for his various contributions and the biggest being Mandira rape case where he won the case fighting his own blood, i.e., brother and mother, which is the toughest thing for anyone, yet the whole family didn't utter a word of thanks... I expected at least Indu to say thank you Rishi in person to him than on podium, but didn't happen.

Failed Son

1) Rishi shown disrepecting his mom.

2) When Rishi can stand up unconditionally for the sharmas and support them in every cause, then why did he turn his face off when his mother was sent to jail ? Sameer was the culprit and he nailed him, but Simi was of fault, so it was a son's duty to do everything to bring his mom out. It showed that this is how Ricky Diwan was that he never cared for family and reckless in his act, so the family hated him.

3) Ricky being emotionless and least bothered about his family and only concerned about Sharmas. It reminds me of the scene in Dabaang where Salman khan punishes his brother for being wrong in public, but at the end the brother in him wakes up and tears roll out to see his brother condition after being hit. Rishi has been very ignorant about his family.

4) Ricky takes finanical help from diwans but never has the gratitude for that nor wants to be a son who could fulfill their parent dreams.
