the way they recalled Mandira's pregnancy, it seems as per this story Mandira wasn't faking her pregnancy but was actually pregnant and had Karan then
Even then, Karan here has to be younger than Gautam, that is he has to be at max 42 now. since Gautam was born while Mihir was still in coma. if he has an 24 years son then he should have had him at 18(justifying that with a thought that Karan was born and brought up in Australia and was an Australian citizen so he didn't need to wait till 21 to get married.
However now this revelation that Parth was already a child passed his toddler age when Ba died makes things more complicated.
Ba as per the first episode died 25 years back (maybe they wanted to show respect to season 1 which started 25 years back). Then it Parth was even 3(that's a very small age to understand complicated things as property distribution but considering he was extra brilliant), he needs to be 28 pre leap and hence 34 now...
So by this timeline Karan had him when he was at max 8?? Is that even biologically possible even if they had bal vivah..
Aside now Pari saying that Mihir Tulsi adopted them when they had grand children. Now Mandira was younger sister of Anupam, are we to assume that Anupam was having children when his younger sister was having grand children? Aside if Karan was an adult by then, why didn't Anupam think of making Karan their legal gaurdian? he was biologically closer to these three
