As it is I think their family doesn't have the tradition to call each other as Bhaiyya/Didi
Hrithik is older than Pari hence he doesn’t call her Didi. Pari is the youngest of them all iirc.
As for Parth not addressing them formally with titles, well, they’re all nearly of the same age group. Wouldn’t surprise me if they all played together as children in SN so it’s a bit hard to make a child call their playmates Fui (bua in Gujarati is called Fui) and Kaka etc. Had these had been ancient times then he would have but they’re clearly living in the modern era.
I myself am an example of not following this practice with my own aunts. I have aunts who are close to my age, one is literally a year younger than me! I address them by their names because I literally played with them whenever we visited each other’s homes or met at weddings or other family events. My mum would sometimes leave me at their homes so I could ‘play with my aunts’ while my mum finished her chores!
And yes we played and fought the same as we did with other children we were friends with. It didn’t even register with us that I was supposed to treat them any different as their niece or they had to care for me as my aunts!
When my mum tried to make me call them as Maasi, and I did else face wrath of mum, her cousins, my Maasis started bawling that I was making fun of them and being mean and what not
It was hysterical and my mum had to finally cave in and let me address her cousins by their names as they complained to her about how their other friends would tease them if they heard me calling either one of them Maasi! My mum’s Maasis had a whale of a time watching my mum dealing with the meltdowns of my Maasis who were all technically close to my age!
Safe to say my mum never tried to make me call them Maasi ever again, lest she got that massive migraine again
