Monica Vaswani and Brian Benni's relationship was one of the main plotlines of 'Family Karma' Season 1. Resident playboy Brian finally came to the realization that he caught feelings for his childhood best friend Monica. Unfortunately for Brian, by the time he came to the realization and finally expressed his feelings to his best friend, it was too late.

Monica felt that they worked better as friends, and shot down his attempts at instigating a relationship between them. But things didn't end on a sour note for the duo, as they decided to stay friends and Monica even offered to be Brian's wing-woman and help him find a perfect girl for him. While playing Brian's wing-woman, Monica also managed to find some romance for herself. The upcoming season of 'Family Karma' will see Rish Karam making his debut as Monica's boyfriend.

Rish Karam, the childhood sweetheart of Monica Vaswani, is the new cast member on 'Family Karma' Season 2 (Bravo)

Who is Rish Karam?

Rish is a 27-year-old businessman and restaurateur that comes from a large traditional, and business-centric Indian family. According to his Instagram bio, he is the owner of Indian-luxe restaurant Moksha and is also a franchisee of Pandora. Rish isn't a stranger to Monica's friend group, as he has known Brian, Monica, and the rest of the gang since childhood. On the show, Anisha Ramakrishna hilariously describes Rish as "dollar store Drake". Although Rish didn't seem to mind it and laughed it off, Monica took offense. In their confessional, Monica declared her new boyfriend as "Chanel Drake". Rish seems to have fit in perfectly with the group, as Brian too gave his seal of approval to him. Brian described his best friend's new boyfriend as a great guy.

Rish and Monica's relationship appears to be going pretty smoothly. The trailer of 'Family Karma' features Monica's father teasing the couple by wondering when Rish is going to put a ring on his daughter's finger. Monica seems to want to take things slowly, as according to Bravo the couple is still living separately although the new cast member lives by himself.

We can't wait to see how things pan out between RIsh and Monica, and how the group reacts to the couple's relationship. Set in Miami, 'Family Karma' gives a sneak-peek into the lives of nine second-generation Indian-Americans who are trying to live their best lives in the US while still trying to achieve their American dream.



 

'Family Karma' Season 2 is all set to premiere with a supersized episode on Wednesday, June 2, at 9/8c on Bravo.
