In **Bade Achhe Lagte Hain 4**, which premiered on June 16, 2025, Rishabh "Rishu" Kapoor, played by Harshad Chopda, emerges as a youthful character that contrasts sharply with the typical portrayal of leads in their late thirties. While the narrative presents Rishabh and Bhagyashree Iyer (Shivangi Joshi) as mature individuals, Rishabh's upbeat behavior and casual style challenge conventional expectations in Indian television.
Rishabh is introduced as a "free-spirited" Punjabi man searching for a job, a departure from the affluent businessman archetype seen in older leads. His charming interaction with Bhagyashree, helping her find her lost dog, showcases a boyish spontaneity, making him feel more like a college graduate. This youthful persona is further emphasized by his casual attire, which includes trendy jackets and jeans, contrasting with Bhagyashree's polished professional look.
Rishabh's emotional impulsivity, such as rushing to save Bhagyashree from a misunderstanding, underlines his character's youthful appeal. His openness in interactions, particularly with secondary characters, adds to this impression. By prioritizing emotional intelligence over traditional maturity, Rishabh defies stereotypes that expect men in their late thirties to be stable and restrained.
This portrayal serves to position Rishabh as an underdog and sets the stage for a slow-burn romance with Bhagyashree, challenging ageist tropes in Indian television. Fans have praised their chemistry as “refreshing,” indicating that Rishabh's vibrant, youthful characterization resonates with audiences seeking relatable modern love stories. Ultimately, **Bade Achhe Lagte Hain 4** redefines what it means to lead in one’s late thirties, emphasizing authenticity and emotional connection over age-based expectations.
