All I want to say, this show has started with 3 main leads and everyone else is a side character. So, they were used only when they were needed. In other words, irrespective of the build up and bond these side characters shared, if they were not needed in the narration at the time of the day, they were not used.
I agree with what you said about Nani. Nani was very rude towards Lavanya for no reason. None of them cook in the house. They can, but they have truck load of house help, so, there is no need for them to cook anymore. Is this teaching all for that occasional cooking? The same applies other chores they wanted Lavanya to learn.
I can go on and on forever, but I will stop here.
Cheers..
I definitely agree with the bold! the show was about Arnav, Anjali and Khushi in that respective order and for most of the show we saw Arnav's perspective because his relationship to the two women, brought the changes to the show.
For the episodes covered in this podcast, I think we saw a slight shift of Khushi's lonesome journey towards Arnav beginning. I do wish we saw more of a shift to how Khushi became more isolated and alone when it came to her feelings about Arnav. She was already quite secretive when it came to her own happiness. Her thinking her feelings are un-reciprocated by Arnav also add in a layer of loneliness that wasn't there to the extent it does after elopement. Both Payal and Khushi think the other one trusts them with everything, and the sisters definitely do in the beginning of the show but we see how that's untrue during office tracks when khushi doesn't reveal too much of the struggles she's going through to Payal.
I think the side character's do add value to the story. A proper Akash and Payal foil relationship would've been wonderful addition to the show to help viewers draw strong parallels with how arnav views shyam x anjali, and khushi with akash x payal, however end of the day, it wasn't Khushi's story with Arnav, this was Arnav's story with Khushi, and that's what we got.
edited to add;
about the cooking etc, my own interpretation is that the house staff would prepare everything, and the members would basically come in and put the things in the pan. I think Nani's whole thing of no one help Lavanya understand the rules of the house was her way of showing how much she despises her addition to the family and how she will do anything to break Arnav and Lavanya off. she was a little too much with that but I do think that's what she was trying to do in hopes of Arnav understanding that she thinks he should be with someone who is not like lavanya.
