Harmless lying or lying to save yourself from an awkward situation is ok. In Sona's case it was a tricky situation. She should have told Kanhaiyya and together sought a solution for it. Even now Kanny is not angry with Sona for helping the kids but for hiding the truth from him. So, in this case she took a wrong decision and it back fired. She should have thought about it and acted esp when other members of the family are waiting for an opportunity like this.
