Viewers of the ITV soap Emmerdale will know that Laurel, Jai and Archie recently paid tribute to Rishi on the anniversary of his tragic passing.
Poor Rishi lost his life a year ago after falling down the stairs on Jai’s wedding day… or so we originally thought.
Now, one year from Rishi’s death, here’s why the character’s sudden exit was a bad move.

Emmerdale: Rishi Sharma’s death
Last July, Jai and Laurel were getting ready to tie the knot on their wedding day. However, the event was tainted by the fact that Rishi and Jai weren’t really on speaking terms.
Jai had recently discovered that he was actually adopted. Rishi wasn’t his biological father, having kept this a secret from him for his entire life.
Jai’s biological father was actually the guy he had being calling his ‘Uncle’ – Amit.
Despite their falling out, Rishi had intended to attend Jai’s wedding. All suited up and ready to go, Rishi never made it though.
It was only after the wedding had happened that Jai entered the house and found Rishi dead at the bottom of the stairs. He never got to make things right with him.
