@ Shali and Ryka : If Prachi thought through the consequences of her action, we would not be in this situation, would we? She only sees the immediate problem and in her own stupid way tries to deal with it.
She saw Alaap snooping around Suki's raaz, so put her name in the orphanage register. When he returned later armed with the knowledge that the raaz had something to do with a baby, she paniced and adopted Ritwik. When she had to find an explanation to bring him home, she used Kamini and her stupid story. When Alaap came home looking for Ritwik she packed him off to Turkey (as though he can live there enternally). When she realises Kamini got caught, she ran to the hospital to change the record there. When she was asked about where she went with Ritwik, she lied about going shopping. When finally all the lies caught up with her, she ended up blurting the mother of lies(pun intended), that she was the mother of Ritwik.
So all her actions smack of short-sightedness and foolishness. In the process she is ruining so many lives including her own. But as usual she is too short-sighted to see anything except Suki and her 'well-being' she is so desperate to protect. She is now like a blinkered horse which can only see straight (here at Suki's future and not her own's).
But if she is sensible and had told Milsi everything in the beginning itself, how will these creatives drag the story week after week? We know by now they are depleted in the ideas department and are too head strong to take some of ours. So I guess there is no use blaming Prachs, Milsi, Ayesha, Alaap, Suki etc etc. Blame it on the mad hatters (creatives/destructives) and ourselves for not only putting up with all the crap but also agonising over it.
