Coming to Rishi Garewal, If i like him it doesnt mean i endorse him being a womanizer. I love Rishi that doesnt mean my moral sense has gone to the dogs or I overlook them... I not endorsing evrything he did. I for a fact hated Rishi when he came along for more than a year i hated him...but after that his character became a supporting cast and not the villian. I love Rishi because of the way his charatcer graph went from the beginning till the last moment he breathed his last. There was a steady growth in his character and for the good. He was a beautifully sketched character... not one moment in the show... could you stop and question his consistency with his character. With every incident he grew... from being a super brat to a sensible son, from being womanizer to being a loving husband, from being a guy who didnt care for his child to a protective father towards a child which wasnt his own... The guy's journey mattered to me. He mattered to me because he was his Big B's Kiddo. If you havent seen KTH... you wont understand his importance to the story, to his Big B... and yes, his character did justice to what was required by him. Yes, despite everything he will remain special because come what may he stood by his brother and family unconditionally even after they disowned him, he could fight the world for them. He wont think twice about putting his future at stake just to remain by his Big B to save from the revenge that was unleashed on Sujal despite the fact that Sujal was so mad at him that he used to treat him like an outsider. I love the fact that the guy was his own man... he lived and died the way he wanted... He was special and he rightfully said the day he dies there will be a Mauth Ka Jashn... he will celebrate death the way he celebrated life. I loved the fearlessness about him, I loved his zest for life, I loved his never say die attitude, I loved his ability to love unconditionally, I loved his courage to face death... he went down still holding his head high knowing he has lived his life to the fullest except for the regret that he was breaking a promise he made to his wife all over again. I dont think a character has been like this before... Positive or Negative. Rishi Garewal is special... you will relate to how special he was only if you have been a part of his journey... right from the time he woke up with 'Khallas' to the time he went down with 'Ek pal ka jeena' Ask any Kth fan.. they will tell u. Rishi Garewal is a winner, even the ultimate truth of life, Death couldnt defeat him... The spirit of Rishi Garewal lived on... to an extend that after they declared him dead... you had Rishi Garewal himself raise a toast to his life and death! That is what made him special and will always remain. Rishi Garewal will remain one of the top 10 characters that has been created by BT... especially when he wasnt even the main lead.
It is very easy to brush off Rishi as a womanizer, a serious one at that... but there is lots more to Rishi than that. If my love for Rishi Garewal is read in any other way, so be it... I know myself and i need to answer myself!
