I don't mind Rachna having a crush on him- that's perfectly normal and fine- but to actually be in a relationship? Nonono. Not right now. Maybe when she's like 24, 25, if she's still interested/he's not married/etc.
You are absolutely right, I hope Rajeev stands by his morals and lets her down gently. This is unethical if he has a change of heart. He will be putting his reputation and job at risk, I don't care how you look at it, she is a child and has childish ways and looks.
