You are divorced and then having the baby is different ..What standing uttra has ...she was involved with her sister,s husband , Her sister family life is destroyed ...but why to bring the child in to world where he will be suffering later on ...Its easy to say then done ...I have seen that kind of society ...Which is very rigid and conservative ...Here i am not talking about woman liberation ...To have a kid is big responsibility, your social set up , all matters ..we all have different perspective to look at the situation ...So i respect the other side ...
My cousin whom I mentioned was GOING through a divorce, she wasn't divorced when she found out. Her hubby and his family tried to get back together, for the sake of the baby. So did she, initially. But it didn't work out. But above all else - she had eloped with the guy and gotten married. So, you can imagine her family's turmoil and pain when she showed up married, and one month later announced preggo. So ... for those who wanna make a story out of it, could easily have said she had a baby out of wedlock. Who really asks for proof and wedding pictures when they wanna make a story, now think about it.
So, she had gumption keeping that child who the outsiders thought was born out of wedlock. She made a mistake, eloping. She made a mistake getting preggo having eloped. But she accepts that, and faced the music head on. Uttara, it seems, is willing to do the same. That's not a progressive woman. That's not one that will cower in the face of adversity and pressure.
As for pawning it off on Vidya - not exactly facing the music, UNLESS, the family does this collectively to spare Devyani. She has seen and been through enough. If the family collectively decides to pawn off the child as Vidya's, for the sake of Devyani, and Uttara decides to agree, ONLY to spare Devyani - she's still facing the music, and paying penance for her sins by not only having the child of a man she hates, but also by not being able to share the existence of that child with those she loves and who love her ... she may not be able to tell her daughter that she now has a sibling. She won't be able to share it wiht Devyani -that's punishment in itself.
Of course, if she has the baby ONLY if Vidya will claim it as hers, then she's still the same Uttara. And that would be an irresponsible act, and selfish.
Adi - the boy hasn't changed one bit. The way he judged and gave his verdict on Uttara - the boy hasn't learned his lesson just yet. When he delivered the line 'par ab to us ne had he paar kar di', I was like - dude, she crossed that line a while ago. You're just dealing with the consequences today. She didn't just go and get preggo today. And she DID try to rectify her mistake. She even tried to kill the guy (no, that was not the rectification I meant :). But they're both guilty of the same thing - not trusting Devyani, Priya and Gaurav when they ought to have.
