Read your update first thing in the morning but had no comments to make because nothing different has happened.
As for replying to other posts,First it was"Give Astha a slap and shut her up" now it's ways to punish Sia.
Seriously,how are parents supposed to react if the child himself/herself realizes his/her mistake and apologises?
And whoever said that mature people don't make mistakes? Maturity does not stand for perfection.In my opinion it means to be able to reason,to understand,to come to terms with facts(can be very painful in some situations).Different levels of maturity is expected at different ages.
Very frankly,I have a soft corner for Astha,but that does not make me biased towards Sia.
Your narration of Kiran's involvement in Urmila's marriage is so right,could anyone remember anything more???
Kiran just did what she did to Neha and now Astha.She even tried to poison Abhi's ears about Simran and Manas but if there was one thing he was very confident about,it was Simran's character.
