Rishita - the character with a varied arc

Namaste,

Among the characters on the show Rishita seems to have a good character arc. Surprisingly, despite her rude and crude behaviour, her contributions to the family in various situations. Perhaps more than the Pandyas themselves.

In the current scenario, wonder if Rishita is the villain or a catalyst for Shiva's success.

Shiva, being a stubborn person, would never have found the need to grow out of the shade of working at the Pandya store inspite of repeated requests by Raavi.

Rishita triggered him, pushed him to the wall and ensured pressure was on him, thereby letting him flourish and bring out his talent.

True and Shiva acknowledged it too

After the win he thanked her for triggering him

Rishita is a catalyst but her intentions were not that

This time she is an irrational person and is also a spoiled brat and it's high time she needs to be held accountable for her words and harkatien

I wouldn't say it's Rishita's character arc.. It's Shiva & Raavi's character how they took this situation into.. It was not the first time Shiva was insulted, so I'll not say Rishita was the catalyst.. Though it was maybe the first time someone took such strong stand for Shiva.. Raavi took the stand for him, for bhis pride.. She sacrificed her most loved possession.. It was Shiva & Raavi's character rather.. Raavi who took stand for Shiva like his Shakti & Shiva for him Raavi's honor was most important..

Another thing Rishita didn't took PAGS bcz she had some good intention for Pandyas.. Rather she wanted it to destroy.. Called it a thing of past.. Shiva already took part in business competition for money bcz Raavi told him that for longer run investment are important.. It was RISHITA who took part after knowing Shiva is taking part bcz she wanted him to lose.. I don't think thats what the meaning of catalyst as I'm a chemical engineering.. I know better.. That's not how catalyst work🤣

I would say Rishita is the gloomy inconvenience which shows a person's real character.. Just like Rishita who was educated rather than doing something for herself, she blamed Shiva for her lose, she accepted her father's store that showed her character, just like Shiva Raavi showed their character

Agree to both and more. But as an audience, her character has shown different shades which has been fixed in everyone else.

Dhara the quintessential good badi bahu. Ravi the undermined, ALL sacrificing bahu.

Rishita is the educated, so-called modern bahu but she has risked her life in saving the family, she has her faults: she has risked the stakes and property, is inherently rude in her behaviour, sometimes too practical. But you have 2 people who are too good to be true and she acts as a balancing element.

Agreed, in the current track, she is extra rude, her actions injustifiable at times and may be she did not intend what eventually it turned out to be, but one has to agree that the extra effort and seriousness Shiva showed was to win the competition was also somewhere because of Rishita.

Shiva had to be pushed to a point of no return and nothing short would have helped. Rishita became that medium.

I guess that's the definition of fastening the change process under unfavourable condition, in scientific terms, an enabling element or a catalyst?

Ravi has always stood by Shiva inspite of her being broken. Comes as no surprise when she was ready to stand by him and be his anchor. Same with the rest of the family.

I agree that rishitha is a factor due to which shivas education was brought up by ravi..

But the line @bold is the problem...that she ensured pressure...letting him flourish...thats like she doing something positively...but she did nothing with positivity in this..she is a factor for his education...but she didn't do it to bring out the goodness in him.. her intention was to insult him..to give it back to him for her loss..it was just her anger, frustration,humiliation in losing her job like that which was speaking and nothing with good intention for shiva..

It was for the first time ravi realised the hurt in this insult and thats what made the difference..she went deeper to know the cause of him stopping education..found it..questioned him what was stopping him from continuing his education..which made him think for himself for the first time..so rishitha in no way is a positive catalyst ..rather what she did could have broken him further if not for ravi ...

Though she is a factor, I dnt think she can even be called a villain or catalyst..rather just a part ofnthe destiny since that's how it was brought up..if she hadn't insulted him, someone else would have said something like the boys the in the class or ravis friends which could have humiliated shiva and ravi knowing abt his sacrifice and the same thing for education would have happened..
