Riddhima is a 21 year old, warm hearted, kind and good-natured girl. This single most important thing in her life along with being a good human being is her dream to make her father, Shashank Gupta proud off her achievements in the medical arena. She is intelligent and modern in her outlook to life, and yet respects and represents all the core Indian values. Quick to forgive and forget, at the same time she will not take blatant injustice lying down. Riddhima's weak spot is Anjali, as she allows Anjali to always get the better from her, but that again is not a sign of her weakness. She does so simply because her nature is amenable to everything. Yet, there is one person, an intern like her in Sanjeevani, who manages to get a rise out of the generally very easy going Riddhima. How much ever Riddhima tries to ignore Armnaan, she unexplainably cannot. Later,she falls in love with Dr.Armaan Malik. |

Her parents are her support pillars who unconditionally under any circumstance stand by her and her dreams and she moves ahead to fulfill them. But life makes her put the interests of others before her own aspirations and she emerges heroic. His father dies and the villain marries Ganga. The character's role is very subdued in the fact that the series focuses on her quite a lot and takes things from here point of view. One point of interest is that the character is often seen crying nearly in every single episode. While this may seem over elaborate, producers say it helps to add to the emotion.
