@BOLD - I think that's the way it will go forward. Initially, Laila will be shocked and furious when Anant will make his choice known. And can we blame her? She clearly is trying to put in a lot of efforts to somehow get this man šSo maybe she will lash out, make a scene, point out the age difference, log kya kahenge and blah blah. After some contemplation, the idea may strike her to extract money from Anant through Ahana. But as you said, I am not very sure if Ahana will let Laila have her way. After all for Ahana, the reason for the marriage will be to not let Laila get what she wants. So I guess Laila is in for some tough luck š
