Rishi is Rishi, AK is AK. Both have been playing their respective parts. Everything is crystal clear about them. Rishi (Tanuja's eternal lover for whom Tanuja got re-birth) had completely failed to act as Tanuja's eternal lover during Smiley's pregnancy drama, in fact CVs had greatly spoilt this character during that track. Then his act was rather childish during his engagement track with Nethra. But now he has been much rejuvenated as a passionate lover. Whatever he has been doing now is due to his self-realization of Tanuja's value for him. He is now a worth watching character. Sadly, this time also he is not doing what he actually has to do. Instead of running after Tanuja as a mad lover, he has to strive to find the actual reason why Tanuja left him and what is the exact relation between AK and Tanuja.
AK was shown at first as a play boy, whom Tanuja had to save from girls quite often. His respect and trust for Tanuja is really admirable but the question is wll he remain the same even after knowing Tanuja and Natasha's relation with Rishi. So, the real test of this character is yet to come. After watching next few episodes only, it will be fair to judge him. But we are free to make guesses and as shown here in this post, we have been doing that.
