So concerned about Aastha!

Why is it that every one is so bothered about what happens to Aastha?

People go on making concessions for her as if she is the only one who has gone through an ordeal. Why do people not spare a thought for Sia who is in the same boat as Aastha , perhaps worse placed because she cannot let off steam the way Aastha does .She has to be nice and behave in an elder sis like way with Aastha. If Sia did get her biological parents she lost Archana whom she really loved . She has had her share of harrowing time too .

Aastha is making a big hue and cry over her mother whom she has not even seen and rejecting a woman who she always knew to be her mother! Aastha actually has it very good , now that she has got back her father and a sister .She has not lost a loved one like Sia lost her mother.

She lives in the same comfy and perhaps more loving surroundings and if she really loved and respected Simran , then she would not have hesitated in accepting life as it came.

Life does want to mature Aastha but her family is making matters worse by being over protective.

I feel that Astha has been cheated and by her own mother, who she trusted more than herself, and not just once but each and every step. She came to know that her name is also not hers but someone else's and she was a replacement to real Astha.

Sia is, to an extent is a genuine daughter of S(uperS)imran, who shows off all the time about her forgiving and caring nature, infact Sia changed her attitude since she came under Simran's influence, to become so. Sia also left her mother when she found out truth. It was when her mother was on death bed and she found her real parents, she seemingly forgave her and since then she as not cried for Archana, who brought her up in all these years and made her a good person.

It's very easy to forgive a person who is dying but to live with such a person is all together a different story. So, Sia always had the best of the both worlds and Astha has nothing that's truly hers , not even good upbringing...courtesy Dr Simran

I don't remember seeing Sia crying at least once for her so-called mother Archana.....cuz she found her real mom+dad.
Poor Aastha does'nt even have her real mom's shoulder to cry on...yes she has real dad who acts like nothing but just a puppet in Simran's hand.

exactly... and plus,, sia is getting more close to simran.. she makes all these pranks to get her parents closer,, and then get them married,, she couldnt have given this situation some time, and simran should have giver astha her undivided attention.. or atlest sid should have...

Why expect Sid, when Astha's real dad and so called mom did not have time for their own daughter but preferred to go for a honeymoon. They could have gone for a family vacation with their two daughters but everyone (Abhi and Simran) is selfish and people (like Sia) leave no opportunity to show off as they are the most thoughtful and caring.

I have to reply to this, because it is really dear to my heart...

I admit that Aastha must have been shocked hearing that Simran was not her birth mother, but there are millions of children out there that don't know their birth mothers. She should be greatful that She had someone like Simran to look after her and raise her. To defend Simran, many adopted parents don't tell the child that they are adopted... so when the truth comes out, the child must realise that it was for their best interest.

I don't understand why you feel that Aastha is the wounded one.... Sia has feelings too, and after 18 years, through no fault of her own, she is getting her parents back, and everyone is more worried about Aastha. Just because Sia doesn't whine and throw temper tantrums, doesnt' meant that she shouldn't have her feelings considered. She has rights to her parents too. If she wants to see them together, i think she should get them together. Which child out there doesn't want their parents together???

As for their Honeymoon, even if it isn't for physical pleasures, Simran and Abhi still need some time to connect. Aastha is not a child, and is being looked after by a lot of ppl. Once the parents come back, they can all connect as a family.

There are so many other things i can say, but i think i am giving myself stress..... Everyone is entitled to their own oppinion....

I am sorry if this comes out rude, but I was adopted and i can't understand why Aastha doesn't take the time to look at the big picture.... and not just look at it from one point of view.....

I couldnt agree with you more, you hit the nail on the head 👏

I so agree with u. and in adopted kids its very common for the parents not to tell the kids the truth, I have a cousin whose mother died at child birth, the mothers real sister ( maasi) agreed to marry the father so that no outsider comes into the family and that nothing will change , the grandparents will remain common if the new wife and husband decide to have kids ( which they did, a son and daughter), well the masi looked after my cousin so well that he never ever doubted that she was not his real mom, when he turned 17 some outsider told him the truth and he confronted his mom, the parents then told the truth and explained everything, NOTHING changed for my cousin , in fact he respects and loves his mom even more because his Masi wanted to be his mother and chose him to be her son, she always tells my cousin that all parents have children but I chose to have you and you are a blessing from God. My cousin has never ever misbehaved like that , this is one reason why I feel so strongly about this issue because i have seen a similar situation in my own family. My cousin did'nt start hating his mom because she hid the truth from him!!!!!!

I guess it all depends on one's attitude .One has to go on with life anyway because killing oneself is certainly not an option. So why not make the best of what one has .

There won't be many people left with Aastha the way she is going on , refusing and denying everything that life is giving her.Life is not a bed of roses all the time . Aastha must learn a thing or two about compromise , it will result in making her happy . Aastha thinks of no other viewpoint but hers and it is really sad. She professes to know all about love and says that she loves Sid , but she once again forgets that loving means giving not snatching. And love is so satisfying a feeling by itself , that if it is reciprocated it is marvellous but even if it is not , it is wonderful .😊
