I think the 'new' creatives are heading in a different direction with this child. Although I think they could have gotten a child that looked more like 5 than 9 or 10. She is quite articulate and mature for her age. As for her know-it-all attitude, I think that trait lays at the feet of the creatives not the child actress. It has only been 1 episode so hopefully the 'creatives' will create a character that is as endearing and lovable as Atharva and Krishna.
God willing they don't think she is expendable the way they treated Atharva and Krishna as acceptable losses to move their blasted plot along 😡 🤢 .
