i agree that he didnt do much.
but makers had to drag the torture phase of preeta. if rishabh had stopped everything this early how could they show preeta getting humiliated by karan to this extent. this constant torture and humiliation of preeta for long time was important for future track. thats y they showed rishabh mostly staying silent and avoiding to interfere between the married couple.
also preeta was staying in arora house. they had to bring this new phase where rishabh actively supports preeta only after her entry in luthra house.
In that case even Sameer will support preeta. And he has actually done stuff with preeta and for preeta. And he'd actually team up with her once she enters. But Sameer can't speak up because he is just a cousin. While Rishab actively supporting her is something he had been doing all the time but it doesn't make any difference. As so has rakhee. Everyone knows he has a soft corner for preeta and would always support her. There's nothing new there,they didn't have to bring her to the Luthra house for that. If he was a true friend then he could have helped her by getting her a divorce respectfully or called the cops to get her rights back. She doesn't have to be present in front of him for him to do something
