To add more to this conversation, I think we should really look at rishabh's reaction and behaviour in the deepak scene as well as in the scene where karan is confronted by family for bailing out sarla.
Rishabh, although no doubt a thorough gentleman and respects women a lot, his outbreak on deepak and displeasure towards karan at that time for helping preeta's mother when he himself had declined her help all point towards possessiveness for preeta. He wants to know everything about preeta, wants preeta to share all her problems with him, and wants to maintain a good image of himself in front of preeta at all times, besides the obvious that he cares for her and respects her too, but the sarla incident only showed how he doesn't know how to stand his ground when needed, and didn't come forward to help her for the sake of family, instead of thinking, like karan, that it was the right thing to do.
I also don't like how he acts with sherlin. C'mon! He agreed to marry her just because preeta convinced him, and although he fixed the marriage to sherlin without being forced to and by his own will, he is acting like he was put at gunpoint or blackmailed to marry sherlin. I don't like that he flirts with preeta and constantly tries to gain her attention and affection whilst he is engaged to sherlin and treating sherlin with ignorance, that too, when he doesn't even know she is evil. It would be a different thing if he knew she was evil and being ignorant towards her and running around preeta in front of her, but where he doesn't know she is evil and cheating him and his family, he is doing all this to sherlin. His behaviour is the reason why sherlin targets preeta and her family all the time.
