While I agree that Rishita had good intentions in that scene, I also feel that she isn't an entirely bad person with evil intentions otherwise.
Dev and Rishita dated for two years and in all that time, not once did Dev address the importance of his family and especially his Dhara bhabi. They both come from VERY different worlds and that easily warrants a discussion about their different upbringings and different family dynamics (ie. in his family, Dhara bhabi = maa). Rishita was raised as a spoilt brat and had every luxury at her disposal, how can she possibly adapt to a completely different lifestyle overnight?!
I understand that her possessiveness over Dev is childish, but again, she was never mature and sensible to begin with. Dev also didn't help her case by keeping her oblivious to his lifestyle and now he expects her to be more understanding like Dhara bhabi or more empathetic towards Raavi's heartbreak. It's not fair to have these expectations of her without giving her any guidelines beforehand.
I know I'm on an odd tangent here, but the way I see it is that Rishita'a bratty behaviour is far more justified than Dev's frustration and irritation at her. Dev knew better from the start. He knew who he fell in love with, what her life and upbringing is like, and how it won't be easy for her to accommodate in a middle class family. Yet, she left everything and everyone for him, so the least he can do is communicate his expectations and priorities to her instead of just glaring at her. No one can adapt to their post-marriage life overnight, certainly not someone like Rishita! Dev needs to quit basking in his guilt of leaving Raavi at the altar and start helping his wife, the woman he apparently loves, transition into his home.
