Alright so since it's been confirmed that we are going to have a teen pregnancy track with saesha here's the few things I hope are included in it so that it feels atleast a little realistic and does justice to avnis role as the guardian of this teenager
1. I hope after the initial shock and anger at girgits actions avni explains the options to saesha- continuing pregnancy or abortion and allows her to make her own decision about her life
2. Continuing pregnancy would have many consequences- first is the physical, emotional, mental aspects of being pregnant, not having a partner to share the experience, any potential complications during pregnancy and delivery, and finally the responsibility of having a child...that too "illegitimate" . If saesha wanted a surname just to esvape taunts now she'll be bringing a child who will also be tagged as illegitimate. In addition to shouldering the responsibility of a child she will have to deal with society and it's prejudice with regard to an unwed mother and a single parent. No matter how much support she gets from Avneil, etc. Ultimately this is her battle.
3. Abortion- again a life changing permanent decision. She will have to make sure that she understands the consequences and doesn't regret it later. I hope that the option of abortion is atleast talked about and that they get their facts right in terms of the safe period to have one, the fact that it doesn't need the male partners permission or knowledge and also that though it may have side effects for the most part it's a fairly safe procedure. The issues are more psychological. It is in essence ending a "life"...before it's fully formed maybe but depending on how many weeks that fetus has a beating heart. I really hope that they consider abortion and get the facts right.
Ultimately since this is a Hindi tv show about illegitimacy we all know what will happen- saesha will go through with pregnancy and the rest of the story will be about how Avneil support her and take a stand for her. My only hope is that in this whole track they don't mess up the facts, and also that they font stretch it too long...just coz pregnancy is 9 months I can't watch the track also being khichaoed so much...n I hope that they keep it in the background and still give us Avneil scenes. Just coz girgit gets pregnant doesn't mean they will forget and solve their issues instantly. I want to see them talk about everything that happened and Neil understanding avnis reasons better. Right now he thinks she ran for girgit! And that is NOT true. I hope they don't leave the reconciliation to our imagination or fast track those portions...Avneil need to have another conversation like the one in the hotel. The other members of the cast should also be used to help Avneil and I hope they remember that diary. It has avnis feelings which Neil can read and understand...please CVs don't forget who the leads are and what the USP of this show is just because you have this keeda of repeatedly showing us this illegitimate children angle!
