Rishabh immature for his age in Bade Achhe Lagte Hain 4

 Harshad Chopda’s portrayal of Rishabh in *Bade Achhe Lagte Hai* creates a character who, despite being in his late thirties( Bade concept), often embodies the restless spirit of a man in his twenties still figuring out his path. As a middle-class event manager facing financial uncertainty, Raghav’s impulsive and occasionally carefree demeanor stands in stark contrast to societal expectations for men his age, who are typically depicted as either laser-focused on career and family or hardened by life's relentless challenges. This youthful energy, while central to his appeal, can sometimes come off as immaturity, as he tends to prioritize emotional vulnerability and romantic idealism over more pragmatic, calculated choices. For example, his impulsive decision to quit his job without a backup plan or his tendency to prioritize his love life over professional responsibilities.

Harshad Chopda's inherent boyish charm and expressive performance enhance this perception, aligning Rishabh with the aspirational romantic lead archetype common in Indian television, where emotional relatability often overshadows gritty realism. Rishabh characterization reflects a deliberate narrative choice to keep him accessible to audiences, emphasizing resilience over resignation. His refusal to let financial struggles or societal pressures fully define him brings a refreshing lightness to the role, while also sparking debate about his maturity.

Fan reactions on X from 2021 to 2023 highlight this divide vividly: many celebrated  Rishabh emotional openness and charm, appreciating his departure from the brooding, hyper-masculine TV heroes. His resilience in the face of challenges is inspiring and gives hope to the audience. Conversely, some have critiqued his naïve decisions—often driven by love or impulse—as unrealistic for a man in his late thirties. This tension raises a nuanced question: does Rishabh approach signify commendable defiance against the burdens of life, or does it reflect a reluctance to accept the responsibilities expected of his age?

The show’s tone, rooted in Indian soap opera tradition, embraces this youthful idealism to sustain its romantic core, but Rishabhportrayal challenges viewers to reconsider maturity beyond conventional benchmarks. His blend of warmth, vulnerability, and occasional recklessness makes him a compelling, if polarizing, figure—a man navigating life on his own terms, caught between societal norms and personal authenticity.
