Anyways good analysis but I dont agree with you about Mishty. She isnt the hurt party in this. She COULD dump Kartik at any point but instead she accuses Kripa of being a hypcritical witch when Mishty is the one leading her fiancee on. Kripa ISNT reallyyyy chasing after Zaib, shes chasing after Mishty so Mishty doesnt get hurt like Kripa did.
Pretty altruistic motives if you ask meeeeeeeeeeee. But Kripa isnt COMPLETELY noble in this, she does want to admire her Zangad.
