Manvi might not be a kid, but she was (as I understand from the story till now) brought up like one. If you analyse Jeevika and Manvi's characters-- Jeevika, being the elder one, and being bound by promise to her mother of taking care of her younger sister (I refer to the flashbacks that were initially shown) was forced to grow up faster than kids of her age, and this might be the reason for her more suave behavior. Manvi, on the other hand was most likely pampered by her sister and other family being the younger one and with her supposedly fragile health. Moreover, she is outspoken, and a little impulsive-- that is her character, and that defines her just as how being soft-spoken and more thoughtful defines Jeevika, or being strict and demanding or controlling defines dadaji or Swamini.
The difference of character between the sisters might seem a little dramatized, but then that is why this is a daily soap and not a real life story. The show thrives on drama, and trust me Manvi's character is going to be a major player in any track they plan to explore now or in future.
About Manvi's interference- if you are talking about yesterday's episode I don't get where Manvi interfered unduly. She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. And she handled the awkward situation quite well if you ask me- she did not comment on what she happened to hear. She just served the tea and left. True, she spoke about it to her sister, but then that is the relation they share, Manvi just can't keep anything from her sister. And honestly I am glad Manvi spoke about it to Jeevika- knowing something about your sister's family and not sharing that with her would have been some sort of an injustice to your sister wouldn't it?
Now, if you are referring to how Manvi seems to forget everything when she is with her sister-- the girl is not used to being away from her sister, and in a way jeevika is the same except that she is a bit more controlled in nature. And Manvi herself confessed it as her flaw (if you regard it one, that is.)
In the beginning also I noticed her rudeness, dismissive attitude towards others except her sister and perhaps viren.: Really? If you watch carefully, you will find that Manvi behaves exactly how others behave to her. In the beginning of the show, Beeji used to constantly accuse Manvi of every other thing, and even had a go at her accusing her of being exactly like her mother, as if it was her fault. I would never blame her for back answering someone who was having a go at her dead mother, even if it was her grandmother. And if you take her behavior with Virat- it's exactly how he behaves with her- sarcastic, playful and mischievous. And Swamini and Dadaji haven't been exactly very kind with her from the beginning. But still, Manvi never really consciously tried to anger them, while you can see that Swamini leaves no stone unturned to exhibit here dislike towards Manvi. Manvi behaves quite sweetly and pleasantly to everyone else be it Vanshika or Kadambari or Viren, cos they are pleasant to her too...
And I don't see Swaminiji or Dadaji acting anymore maturely than Manvi. Showing partiality between your sons/ grandsons/ nephews, being controlling and demanding, blindly following a set of rules that they think is right overlooking any kind of discomfort they may cause to others- these are not exactly signs of maturity. Clearly, age isn't a measure of tact or maturity.
