I don't think Rishi will completely lose interest in Maya tbh. It might happen temporarily due to the shaadi drama. But, there is a reason they put so much emphasis on the fact that Rishi cut MJ's call after realizing that Maya's hand had been cut. He put Maya above his dad, and he has never done that despite having many girlfriends. Even, MJ was surprised by that fact but he was cajoled by Amir saying Rishi might be busy or just distracted with Rudra's investor. The emphasis was foreshadowing that Rishi will hurt/ignore his dad and rest of the family for Maya's sake/love in the future. It is very likely that he will fight against Rudra for Maya's sake at least until he sees Maya's real side or finds out about her reasons for approaching him/doesn't love him.
