While the series was lapped up by the youth, the plot point of Rishi wanting to get married at 21 rang false. Taking the criticism in her stride, the writer says, “It was from the original book.

But of seven billion people around the world, I am sure there’s one kid who thinks like Rishi. We have explained his motivation and reasons.”
