I agree. I actually felt pretty bad for the other kids.
The other posted pointed out that Ankita is a sort of guardian to the money, and that Manav is still alive. But what if he dies? Then all the money goes to Ankita.
If I squint, I can kind of see the logic in Manav's decision.
Sachin would be too selfish to give some up to Soham's kids and his wife wouldn't let anyone else touch the money.
Teju would've probably been the best choice, but I guess she's too free spirited. But for the sake of story, she's kind of useless and thus no reason to give her all the money to split it.
Ovi is out of the picture, along with Pia because the actresses (perhaps characters?) are gone.
Pari is selfish and vengeful as well. Heck I wouldn't give her the money either, even before when she wasn't a psycho. Even before she used to hold grudges and refused to talk to people/ know their side of the story (hello Arjun) and if given the money, there's 100% chance that she'd freeze out Ankita and sibs.
Prashant is like Pari as well and there's a chance that he'd freeze out Pari and co because of the way they treated his sister.
Mansi probably had a chance but Shashank's mother would've done anything to keep the money and plus she probably didn't have business experience or anything to help her with splitting the money.
And even if we include Naren, he's too emotionally unstable to be able to be the guardian of such an amount. Like the guy lost his own company, why would Manav give him his company?
Which leaves Ankita. She's not as vengeful and selfish as the other character (Sachin, Sachin's wife, Pari, Prashant). Has actual good business sense and isn't necessarily a loser (Naren, Mansi). And is actually relevant to the story LOL (Teju). Plus Ankita has always been shown as very responsible, mature, and always wanting to do the right thing. Even if she disliked Naren and co she wouldn't leave them on the streets, like they did to her. She has humanity within her.
So I guess I can kind of see why they did it.
Although I still think Manav should've divided up the property himself and not left that responsibly to Ankita. So lazy of him.
And I totally agree that ArMan are shitty parents.
