Annika is more than capable of giving Shivaay back as good as she got. She didn't wish for him to lose his brothers because she knows how it feels. She is not being Mahan but it's a gesture of pity and her big hearted nature. it didn't cost her much to cover for him but to him it was a lot.
I agree ... it was more to keep the family from breaking up and his bond with his brothers from breaking that she never told them the truth. She was more concerned about the effect it would have on Om and Rudra and was actually protecting them from them bitter truth.
In reality She cares more for his family than she cares for Shivvay at this point. She is not being Mahan as you rightly pointed but because she knows the value of a loving family she was trying to protect the family and brothers from the humiliating truth about their 'here jaisa beta' who they were so proud of.
He was the Jewel in their Crown and she could not bring herself to shatter that pride. Even Tej constantly compared his sons to Shivvay and told themthey were not as good as he was. Well Tej - look again because you would not want sons like Shivvay right now ...lolI was hoping he'll behave now, but Abp showed him insulting Annika again with the one night stand issue. She almost slaps him but is stopped. 😒
