Firstly, I want to thank you for starting this topic!! There have been so many topics posted about Ananya's immaturity and how they are disappointed with her and the show! I agree she is acting immature but I am not disappointed with her character or/and the show!
She is not an ideal protagonist like the one's Ekta has given us who are just so selfless in nature and who would do every dumb thing but come across as the most pure soul on the earth. I like Ananya because she has her own set of shortcomings - just the way I and all the others do!
Not everyone can act mature in all the sphere of life and especially not if you are facing it for the first time. Like us even she is bound to make mistakes (whether they are small or big) and learn from those mistakes.
Based on my personal experience I can say that it is very easy to criticize someone's action in a particular situation and provide them with a perfect advice but when we go through a similar situation we all act irrationally especially in matters where our heart is involved.
I love Ananya in spite of her flaws because she is one of us! I love her because she is strong enough to follow her heart (this is not everyone's cup of tea) irrespective of the consequences!
I love how they are portraying human emotions, its complexity and especially its randomness. Therefore, I do not want to ruin it's essence by scrutinizing everything by logic.
