Hi Mandy nice that you have weekly discussion.
I can only answer couple of question or points that you have on topic.
After watching episodes till yest. April 1st, I can only come to this conclusion.
I think Nandini and Anirudh's marriage was arranged or marriage of convenience with Balraj's approval. May be that's where the property comes into play - if they have a child the property forever will beong to Aasthana pariwar.
Anirudh liked Meera's company. She's very attractive woman they became very close.
I don't know about Anirudh loving anyone in the family. But it's obvious both Nandini and Meera loved him a lot and miss him terribly.
