Scenario 1
Mallika is not back. The baby debate has happened and the two year decision has been taken. There is another pregnant woman, maybe a destitute, who has come into KGH. Ashutosh gets very involved in the care of her pregnancy and once the child is born, he starts caring for the child too. Maybe he even wants to adopt the child, assuming the mother wants to give it up. Would Nidhi be happy that Ashutosh is still getting to experience fatherhood even if secondhand...and she gets to do what she wants to do...
Scenario 2
Mallika is back and pregnant. There has been no baby debate at all. How will she react to AShutosh caring for Mallika and her unborn child under the circumstances?
