can understand your views and choice... no character growth is shown and no reason is given fot the way anyone acts... totally agree with you about nani's favouritre catchphrase and garima's games of hide and seek... have always felt that no proof has ever been shown that arnav is as shrewd as he's said to be... so many things have gone wrong and no detectives have been hired... and what took the cake yesterday was his statement to shyam that the latter would be allowed in the house ony till anjali got better: a nice incentive to harm anjali, though that wouldn't be such a loss! and anyone and everyone just walks into shantivan and starts ordering people aboout or making arrangements for various functions, etc. while the owner remains shut in his room, clueless!
I just watch the show for sanaya's and barun's acting. deepali made the right choice of leaving the show because she has no role to play here... all she was made to do was stand in the background weeping... if akshay has any sense, he'll follow suit because he doesn't even get any lines to say, nowadays!
