Look like hiding important thing becomes her character trait. First she hide family detail with Earthcon. That time I argue most of the people in the forum that it is company fault. Then she hide ONS. That is also valid.
But then she started hiding everything. First hiding Batman Robin secret from both. Then hide her crush on Viaan. Now it become her character.
Hiding important detail to your fiance is dishonesty. If you had sex with other person and hide and justifying that you haven't lie to your spouse or it could destroy your marriage is cheating.
The writer is playing with her character. She was the one who make sure of her feeling before confessing to Viaan. She was the one who think of Earthcon people and didn't leave company. How can she play with Raghav's emotions.
The writer is showing her bechari every time and for everything. This is what I am telling to the people why showing bechari when the situation is not critical. It is like fake portrayal of strong rather than actual strong character.
@Bold Agreed. This is indeed the main problem. People are so busy in Katha vs Viaan that he is often forgotten. 

Her decisions are very much valid from her perspective but, in long term it is going to harm her. This is remarked by Viaan and the fans in general. Her dishonesty with Raghav is going to cause her problems in the near future.
However, That is the point of the character. This doesn't mean she is right and should be praised for. She is no longer the strong character which we used to know. And, because of that, she is making weak and coward decisions. For us audience, 8 months in the show crossed in a day so, it is very difficult for most of the audience to feel that time gap. But, one day I had a realization that 8 months is exactly how much time Katha took to fall in love with Viaan (Counting the number of days passed for us). And, how long it felt for us. In show, I calculated in one of my post cum project (which I abandoned), I tried to summarize what happened as each day passed in the show. I calculated only 63 days were passed from the beginning of the show till the day where Katha and Viaan were discussing about development of children's space in Lonavala Project. So, we can assume max to max another 63 days were passed till the day of Grewal house chaos. So, a total of 4 months were passed in the show. Comparing to that scale, 8 months is a lot of time. And if, out of those 8 months, 5 months were spend with Aarav ailing like he was shown, it is nothing short of harsh prison sentence.
From, the very beginning, it was shown Aarav was the reserve of happiness of Katha and next, Viaan was added to this list. After grewal house chaos, both were gone. This much tragedy can definitely change one's character entirely. And, that is exactly what is being shown now. This very much reminds me of Kareena's tranformation after she was rejected by Anshuman in Jab We Met. And, audiences were able to connect with them.
Writers/Directors are to be blamed for not showing this simple thing properly. In Jab We Met, we saw through the song "Aaoge Jab tum" for how long Geet kept her optimism and pleaded to Anshuman and eventually, how her outlook changed. But, here , nothing of that sort has been shown. In the very beginning, they showed that Katha's reason for rushing engagement was Aarav's tantrums which is plainly wrong. No matter how much Aarav is ailing it doesn't mean you will do whatever he says. Now, they are showing its Katha's fears and her exhaustion. But, at the same time, they are showing Katha already convinced Raghav's family before for this relationship (It is evident from her conversation with Guni Maa). So, this is very confused writing. What is this lame excuse to rush engagement. I am still unable to understand her reason to rush engagement and her marriage.
However, one thing which is positive about this whole situation is that writers are aware of this issue. It is evident from Viaan's dialogues. "Aapki tooti hui himmat Jaga raha hoon", "Main ye Raghav ke liye bhi kr raha hoon" .
