I think the reason behind choosing surrogacy does matter.
The couple that one of the members speaks of have been trying for child for 11 years and only then have thought of surrogacy.Luckily they are looking at it through all perspectives.Here the couple have immature views on surrogacy. They are in love and desperate for family's approval. Shorvori is way too devoted to Parth and his family to bother about the fact that the child might only belong to Parth. Won't comment on Parth's thoughts before watching the episode because that character is still a bit of mystery to me. Teni, on the other hand, only sees it as a ticket to America. These immature views will have long and deep consequences.Honestly it's not as unreal as it looks. Some people only look at surrogacy as a way to get their biological child or biological heir of the family. That's one of the reasons why commercial surrogacy has been banned. It has become a gateway for couple to get bilogical child. They treat surrogate mother like open market whrrebthey can get their own child
Desperate for family's approval?! That's something what is not known in my country. Once a girl or boy becomes full-grown, they go their own way with or without support of their parents. It is solely the decision of the young couple whom to marry and whether they will have children or not. They do not even ask the parents about this, let alone the acceptance of the family depends on having or not having a child.
The surrogacy in the sense as presented in DSDT really looks like a miserable business. This is proven just too well with the way how Teni herself and her reasons for surrogacy are represented in the series. Anyway, I will always be on the side of the surrogate mother because I know that her reasons for such a step are much more seriously as the "ticket to America". Just the matter with the ticket to America gives the impression that the showmakers want to represent the surrogate mothers in general as the unscrupulous money-loving women and that is far removed from the reality. It looks like they want in this way to banalize this whole issue of surrogacy and that bothers me a lot because it's simply not fair to the all of those women who have done it for existential reasons and who must bear the consequences of it their whole life long.
Anyway, this is my personal opinion and nobody should thereby feel disturbed in the enjoyment of DSDT...
