before I get bashed, I know rhea is not a loved character and I share the same emotion. she has done a lot of...unethical things to say the least.
I've noticed that she uses alcohol as a coping mechanism (this does not mean she is an alcoholic). I am by no means judging others who use do the same. My point is simply that, if this is how rhea chooses to deal with her emotions, then there should also show her family (alia in Abhi's absence) make sure it doesn't turn into alcoholism irrespective of how evil she is. Believe it or not, what we watch does influence us in some way or another. hence, a proper presentation of this habit is necessary.
from where I see her as a character; although this doesn't excuse any of her actions, she is a 21-year-old child that didn't have parents or family for that matter that could raise her to become a good human and teach her right from wrong. I dont know what but something about the scene with Alia made me feel pitiful for her. and if the CVs are smart enough, they could use this (drinking habit) as a plot point in the future.
no hate please :)
