Firstly, dont try to understand the Indian culture with the help of subtitles. Subtitles may or may not give you the exact translation. The exact translation is obviously not possible every time.
In western culture siblings use names to address each other irrespective of their age. In india it is nothing less than a crime to not refer your elder brother as Bhaiya or elder sister as Didi.
Calling Bhaiya or Didi is an integral part of Indian culture and as such it has to be maintained.
There have been ample of times when Payal called him Bhaiya. This is how it is in India.
In India even unknown person are to be addressed as Bhaiya, didi, mausi, aunty etc. We dont really say Mr.X or Mrs. Y in our day to day conversation. Even the milkman is addressed as Dudh wale Bhaiya. That explains why every servant in the Indian series is called Ramu Kaka.
In Kolkata or rather in Bengal it is called dada and didi. That is why Sourav Ganguly is called Dada here and Mamta Bannerjee is better known as Didi.
To change the whole system here in India because two people are to be paired is a strange idea. BUT don't worry Indian makers are quite generous with such things. They will change every existing tradition or custom if it ensures good TRPs
