I hope things are better for them now :(

People say the stuff happening in Iss Pyaar is unrealistic... and yes, some of the situations and reactions are... but we forget that there is some base in reality behind all of these stories and in some sense, it's the believability of just how easily similar things COULD happen that makes watching it all so painful.

I totally understand what you mean, and it's great you guys are so independent. :)

My brothers and I are as close as Arnav and Anjali are shown to be. I wouldn't shun them either, I'd just be incredibly upset that he didn't consider it important that he tell me and let me know about something so important and momentous in his life. For me, it would feel like I had done something to make him think he couldn't trust me, so I'd demand some sort of explanation. But just like Anjali says, he's still their Chotte... I would never hate him or kick him out of the family. I don't live with my family or my brothers either, but we're still close and although he isn't an overtly emotional person, I cannot imagine how I'd feel if he did something like get married without even telling me. He doesn't have to ask my permission and WHO he marries is entirely his choice- I'm not backwards- but I would hope he would TELL me before he came back and thrust the news in my face.

Ahh our families are also different in that I've been raised to believe that a marriage unites two families, regardless of how little presence one has in the lives of the others. Therefore there should be some sort of input from the family. I guess it's the different ideologies of people, just like the two of us, which is splitting the reaction to the recent track so vividly.
