A man, wife and child (regardless of Adopted or biological) are a unit together, a family.
Adoption/fostering is completely different from padosi ke bachche se pyaar karna. It is also completely different from bazaar ke samaan khareedna.
There is a very deep emotion involved which is not timebound.
Just as 26 years of abuse was NOT the reason for Anupama's divorce to Vanraj in a matter of a couple of months,
Discovery of the biological mother and losing a foster child of a few months was Not the sole reason only reason for the Anupama-Anuj fallout.
It was how Choti Anu was lost and the fact that one or actually both cannot see eye to eye on addressing the issues because one cannot understand where the problem lies and another cannot stand upfor himself and his family firmly for fear of losing his love and has settled for repeated callouts and red flags.
Love alone is never enough. There has to be respect and effort to build a relationship.
What was Anupama's effort towards her marriage? Nothing. Which makes me wonder, why did she marry Anuj?
Why did she agree to please Anuj by agreeing to adopt when she doubted it and diccussed with Devika?
She is a mature adult. She knew she has her matkas. She knew adoption, Maa banna ek boat boat boat badi jimmedari hn.
Even now, why does she not fight her own battles? Why does someone else have to fight? Kam se kam khud ki jimmedari uthao. Baaki sab baad me
Anuj knew Anupama had a family full of matkas, he wanted a family to call his own, he confessed he understood Anupama can never be his world and over time he realised he never would be Anupama's priority. The only person he called his own was Choti (although I am against making kids rants such deep dialogues beyond their age). Eventually she became his world, his family.
Everyone of every age group comes with a bunch of matkas, some more than the others. Women have to first accept that they are NOT the Besht and No Superhuman. Women have to first understand and accept that we can only do so much. Only when we Women understand and accept this, we can convince others.
