Regarding the Queen vs Princess
Vansh is the king and Riddhima is a Queen to be.
Vansh by nature is overprotective specially to the ladies of the house.
Firstly I agree that there is no submissive dominant relationship here
Vansh 's rules the hurdles created by him.can never stop her to go against the norms he set.
Ridfhima always do what she wants. She gets hurt by that process. Vansh dont want that. He tries to protect her like a strict yet loving father (He treats everyone like that but the others did not defy him)Riddhima defies him and that makes her the Queen.
She bring him to the edge of the temple and made him take the aarti when they first meet near Bappa 's temple. He was a non believer of God and she is a staunch believer. But still he came and took the aarthi or she made sure he takes that.
She slapped Aryan and she was forgiven though Vansh is a protector.
Riddhima played a part of a warrior in the entire Ragini fiasco and his numb serum could not stop her
I dont wanna elaborate my post but there are 100instances that she was a queen.
In case of Handcuff and his house arrest Ridfdhima broke the rule and track down the juvenile home and got the papers. He even did not take any drastic step regarding the truth serum thing.
There are many wives who does not show interest in their husband's business call.
The saree scn was just a obsessive way of gifting.So i think on the basis of that we cannot call her submissive. Its just the new found or u can rebooted trust she is showing to him. We are not very used to "Good Girl Riiddhima"😝😝Isnt it.
