For the last question, I am a bit biased. I actually like that Viaan wants another child because let's be honest, there is nothing like having a child from you. It doesn’t dampen his love for Aarav. I guess my bis was because before this I was watching a show called Sherdil Shergill on Colors which wasn’t all that bad tbh until it got to their marriage part. The ML adopted her son and promised her he will never have kids or something like that, his parents were unhappy ( and very valid feeling) but they were bashed for being ‘villains in the love story’. And I just disconnected. I’d rather watch a more mature show where its highlighted that its okay to want such a thing and it doesn’t remove from your character and watch how the new parent navigates being a fair parent to both the adopted and biological child without bias, which shows maturity tbh. I want to see them make mistakes here and apolgize and work on any human nature for bias here as well as complex relationships such as the family of the partner’s ex and be able to support the partner and assert their position when anyone tries impeding on their family unit. Like if Papa G were to come around and do something Viaan doesn’t like, he should be able to talk to Katha and Aarav, and acting in his role as the father as well as talk to Papa G on his decisions. Those are the things I would love to see. If Viaan did something a bit biased, Katha should talk to him (nit diminishing her love for the other kid she has with vaiin ofc) and viaan should learn and be able to patch up with aarav. They should work together to make sure there are no gaps. I think these are the type of things I want to watch - which is why I love that Viaan isn’t hiding away from his wish to have a kid with Katha, ready to navigate being a stepfather, father, and peacekeeper at home. This show keeps giving hints and shots of readiness for emotional depth, and that is more refreshing to see than a quick agreement not to ever have kids. Because we must also be able to empathize with Teji, whose only kid is Viaan, as well as the realities of being human tbh. If Viaan does make this known to Katha and she doesn’t want to, she must be able to convince him without disregarding his feelings and eliminating any source for future resentment, so he is on it totally. They must also be able to approach and engage Teji and not villainize her and even if she is still upset in the end, she should be able to at least acknowledge their efforts and love for her. Viaan should also be able to learn how to play his role wholeheartedly to Aarav so as not to cause any burst of ill feelings in the future. And if he instead wants to have a kid, but Katha doesn’t, if he is not able to convince her and neither himself, the best will be to sadly, but understandably part ways because before both get permanent into such a layered relationship that is permanent like husband and wife, they must both feel happy and comfortable. Even if he loves Katha and Aarav, he really desires to have his bio kid too, and considering his own history with his dad (which factors greatly into this desire), he will not be able to happily and selflessly be a husband and parent because it will surely lead to resentment. Unless this show is aiming for a tragedy type of thing where it goes ‘a love that never was’, I think they are aiming for the first case type I made where both agree for a second child especially now that Katha has seen him with a baby and doesn’t seem to mind and instead is admiring him, which I am glad for tbh. I want to see how Papa G may try to undermine Viaan with Aarav due to his insecurities and Katha and Viaan use wisdom to make a stand over their son! I want to see how Aarav has insecurities if Katha gets pregnant and Viaan being observant and assuring him of his love and prepping him for his role as a big bro 😎. I want to see!!!!
