Yes Ria, I agree with you!It seems that people in this forum are so biased towards Ansh because of his cuteness that they fail to see his failings or Aarti's faults as a parent, whereas they do not seem to like Payal or Palak that much because of the few times they acted out of line. Every misbehavior by Ansh is apparently okay, because "kids behave like that", but whenever Payal or Palak misbehave, it's suddenly a horrid thing and they are horrible children.😕 I don't get this bias...is it that we Indians, so used to living in a male-dominated society, tend to favor boys over girls even in TV shows, and forgive boys their mistakes more than girls? I hope that's not true, because Payal and Palak are no worse than Ansh.It's true that Payal and Palak need to learn manners, but they do have discipline. Had they not been instigated against Aarti by Gayatri and Bua before the marriage, I think they would have been a lot friendlier towards their stepmom and stepbrother, but they feel insecure, and naturally when Ansh hurt their father, they felt defensive and angry. Any child would at that age. Heck, I probably would too if I was in their position. We saw from previous episodes that they are slowly warming up to Aarti because of her warm and loving manner, and it may take some time, but if Ansh also behaves right with them, I don't see any reason why they would act manner-less.Anyway, I just want to make a point that if Ansh is not at fault for his misbehavior, then neither are PayPal. All three are children after all, even if PayPal may be a few years older.
