Rhea ke liye toh saath khoon maaf hai bhai. 
I too would have preferred someone else. Maybe someone who Ranbir has had a crush on since childhood and because of it, he's failing to see how he's being manipulated? Like, after so many years, he's finally getting a chance to be with her, but he just has to do this one thing.
When Abhigya find out about this, both Ranbir and Rhea should be punished for it. Rhea for concocting the plan, and Ranbir for being stupid enough to follow through with it. And Mr. Kohli can finally use his cane to beat him up. 
Dunno. It's not even necessary for Prachi to date. They can at least show that there are people who are interested in her. Or that she has some male friends who are genuinely interested in getting to know her, and help her.
