I liked rishi before leap bcoz he was always with Indira through thick and thin. But after leap, I wasn't so happy seeing how Rishi turned after Indira went away from his life. I did not like the way how he distanced himself from his daughter Indu and I felt bad for Indu that she never had any fatherly love and affection.
I also felt that Rishi isolated himself from everything and does want to move on.I felt he just burdened his responsibility of Indu and SN on shweta's shoulders bcoz she was crazy for him .I felt he took advantage of shweta feelings and burdened her.
I did not like the way how rishi was after Zara bcoz she is a look alike of Indira and has a tough atiitude.He did not give any importance to proofs really made me feel Rishi always loved Indira face which he found in zara .So that's why he wanted to move on with Zara which he did not do for the 8 years.
But after seeing how he is taking care of Indira,I felt wrong and also i felt old Rishi is back. I really adore Rishi's love for Indira.I like the way how he calms Indira,supports her .May be I always liked old Rishi and that's why neither Rishi-zara relationship nor new rishi post leap never pleased me.
if someone is in Rishi's place then they would have joined Indira in some hospital and would have lived happily with Zara who is perfectly alright.But Rishi did not do that.
I respect and adore the way he is taking care of his shreematiji.I am liking his commitment and responsibility he showed towards Indira. When Indira whole family rejected her, he came to her rescue.He promised Indu that he will give her real mom and he is fulfilling his responsibilities as husband and as a father.
I always wanted to see rishi like this.I really hope cv's continue to show rishi like this only.
