What does a child want? A child wants new clothes to wear, toys to play with, chocolates and sweets to eat, a good house to live in and so on. However, a child could do without all of this and still grow up to be an emotionally balanced individual. What it can't do without however is the feeling of being wanted. And who better than Ashutosh to know this? We don't know the circumstances under which he was orphaned. whether his parents died or whether he was abandoned at birth. But his complex character hints at a painful past.
Nidhi clearly does not want a child now. She is categorical on that. If she is coerced into it, she is going to resent it and blame it for the lack of opportunities in her life. Forget whether Ndihi desrves it or not, but does a child have to enter into this world, loaded with that kind of baggage?
A child should the embodiment of mutual love, it should be a celebration of that love. It should be received with boundless joy and gratitude for it is a blessing of Nature. If a child is not going to be perceived or wanted that way, then that child is better off unborn!
I don't think this child wants to be born yet, not until both its parents want it with all their hearts and are willing to perceive it as not a responsibility but rather a blessing that brings them boundless joy!
This child would prefer to wait until it is actually wanted!
