These two were part of my faves in the episodes. I liked that Rishab even when playacting isn't that mahaan to get a paycut. He wants to be paid! Nothing is for free! No doormat this one is. 
I found it hilarious as well as realistic how smoothly he gave reasons for the no pics and mentioned the buri nazar. It was amusing when mom immediately said that she would do pooja to get rid of whatever nazar on his head. 
That said, one has to ask if posting pics on social media is really a good idea. Both these characters are in their 30s or so and with that group, there is less pressure to launch a relationship status online. Whereas with the 20s, it seems like that a relationship is not real unless there are pics. However, when there are changes within the relationship, it is like unknown people can tell or guess just because pics stop or drop. So in that sense, Rishab comes off as wise in how he states the reason for not putting pics for all to see.
The other scene I really liked is the conversation between the parents and we get a glimpse into what has changed and how they feel about Bhagya's situation. The mom says that marrying someone within your community does not guarantee success and she cites a relative's marriage. The dad then acknowledges that but adds that we can't judge everything is well so quickly and sites another in-law relative who looked great initially on the surface.
There are two very important takes the parents are noting -- there is no guarantee that even with all the filters, two people can be compatible. That is a huge shift because many parents have a tough time understanding the concept of compatibility. There is also the other unspoken take the parents are noting -- sometimes elders do make mistakes when choosing; just because a marriage is arranged by elders does not mean it will work. I liked how these points are done in such a small scene without any fanfare or loud dhoom tana. Instead, it is matter of fact.
That is a very realistic take on how folks change their view after experiencing or seeing issues within their wider circle. I have experienced the same in my own family. A while back, I was surprised when my mom said that while she worried about me being single, she was happy that I wasn't stuck in some bad marriage because she would worry more and would be helpless to untangle that. This was her feeling after hearing some of the stories out there. Like us, they are also experiencing lots of societal changes. It may take them longer to process. 💛
