If we are talking about no growth, then that is the case with every single character. No character, including Indira, has shown growth. In fact, in greater or lesser extent, all have been degraded. Lets leave the Sharma Family out. I doubt they have any character.
All the flaws you have listed about Rishi are correct, but instead of making him look like a flawed human, he looks like a burden on Indira. Thats a writing mistake. In the Zara track, they murdered him completely. That's why I think they take liberties. A male lead can be flawed, not caricatured. They needed to support his character a bit with some proper writing sometimes.
Sorry to interrupt but just wanted to put in my 2 cents if you don't mind Kanan...
The Rishi we are seeing today is definitely not the Rishi we were introduced to during the intial phase of this show. Rishi's character has obviously been written to have a personality/traits that are in contrast to Indira's- but the writers, over the last 8 months or so-have taken undue liberty to take these contrasting traits and have turned them into something completely negative.
Yes Rishi was never shown to be the "serious" type, but this did not equate to being irresponsible- what kind of an "irresponsible" individual would take it upon themselves to care for and help thru the treatment of a complete stranger and then make an effort to come and help that stranger's family (even if the process was driven by guilt).
Similarly, yes, he was never shown to be money-minded, but this did not equate to being "lazy." He was never shown to direct his energies into work that would actually reward him with monetary compensation, but this never equated to being lazy.
Same thing with the "taking short-cuts" idea. Yes, we saw him do this many times- from tricking Inder sharma into the house deal to the Mandira rape case to the later SN deal during the Kukreja track. But these "short-cuts" were never rooted in immoral or unethical behavior and never solely for his personal benefit.
The point is that the writers cannot handle the concept that an individual can be a good human being who is successful, responsible, and provides for their family unless they are the "hitler" type- a sign of a "creative" team which is sorely unimaginative.
And the most irritating thing about the show is not that all characters are poorly written and none have shown any growth😆, its the fact that out of all of them, one particular character always gets the benefit of being put up on the pedastal (with their epic flaws passed off as perfection) no matter what!! (no points for guessing who this mystery character is) 😆 This is a epic fail on the part of the writers and their limited imagination.
