I would agree its not easy to adopt especially if you have a biological one also. But I personally know of people who have kids of their own, adopted another and are the most wonderful parents to their adopted children. Also you are not overpopulating the world by having too many.😉 Kudos to those people who can do it.



I know of many families in just my part of Bombay where kids are adopted and the child is constantly referred to in conversations inside and outside the house as "adopted child". the differentiation is made and it is unfair to parent and child. this was a big turn off for me against adoption.

for an adopted child to know they are adopted (at some point in their life having a disclosure convo with their parents) is one thing but to be reminded of it daily in passing conversations and instances (even in the most unmalicious or unconfrontational manner) is quite another.

much of indian society ismade up of traditonalists and as a result though the act is progressive it is seen as a charitable deed rather than need for mutual enrichment (as it is seen in the west). though there are families who truly live to the adoption commitment they made. I have seen a few of them and more of the others unfortunately

yah bhavna mentality will effect the child but if varsa was to love her and as we know how the D family is when it come to love then she will be fine
i am in for varsha adopting the kid



@bold why do you think that Tasha

Hope, Varsha and all the others, agree with your post. Varsha may genuinely want to be a mother now, but she needs to give it some time before taking any decision. Spend time with kids, maybe do some baby-sitting and see if that's what she truly wants. While it's not fair to judge a person by their past actions, those actions can't be ignored either. To me, it still seems like it is some kind of a fad for Varsha-to achieve something she can't have. And I'm afraid once she gets it, a child in this case, she will not be interested any longer. Maybe that's not the case this time, but she has to take the time to decide for sure and Satish-Bhavna also need the time since they're all part of the family, especially Satish.

About Bhavna wanting a pota, I still don't think she means she wants only a grandson and not a granddaughter. If a girl is born, she will be celebrated the same way as a boy--I'm pretty sure about that. Pota" is a manner of speaking, so please dont judge the character as being gender-biased until there is more proof. Like, for example, if Varsha gets pregnant and the sonography shows a girl child, then if Bhavna tells her to abort, then I am all for throwing stones at her. Or if she agrees for adoption and insists on a boy, then again I'll agree. But until then, it's not fair to judge a character on their manner of speaking. I know a lot of people who say they're looking forward to have their "grandsons" play in their laps in my native language. I also know that they dont mean that they prefer grandsons over granddaughters, just that it's kind of a way of speaking, more like a tradition. Opinions have changed, biases have changed, other cultures and traditions have been adopted as one's own, but language is the same right? It's the same speech that has existed for centuries in India. In this case, I find Bhavna to be a sensible, if overbearing person who will listen to reason when told in the right way and once she's given the time to heal. Everybody needs to step back and do some thinking, see what their priorities are while continuing to spend time with children like Varsha's doing and also getting expert help to see if there is any way to help normal conception.



Sowmya😃🤗

hey hon, howz you.

@bolded blue I agree. here decision to act on this seems rushed to me. she is going at someone elses pace not her own. this is not her agenda and I feel she latched on to abortion as it was the first option that was identified by someone she trusts.

@bolded green. I totally agree. I think gender is not an issue for bhavna. it is a matter of semantics. my mother - in-law kept referring to grandchild as cherko when all the brothers married. she kept saying she wanted a cherko - yet my older BIL got all girls and she loves and has a special relationship with each one of them just like she does with my son. the male term for grandchild slips out often as a force of habit I think. I think the blood of the child will be more important to her than the sex

her attitude may be overbearing but her desire for a grandchild from her ONLY offspring is natural and actually very normal in India. parents are more involved there in their childrens lives(or they try to be) than here. there is a different expectation and unspoken set of rules about a parents role in their married childrens lives here. there are reasons for that too.

Varsha wants to be a mother at any cost. You are right in some parts, but she is really desperate for a child and she wants one because she wants to be a mother, and to keep her family happy.



bhalla I have only read the updates and learnt of the progression of events but I think I will check the actual scenes and get back to you on this latter ok😃

I dont think she is a natural fit for it but overtime and with true intent the maternal side can come to the forefront for most women.

aside from the nurturing which is very important at infancy and childhood I think Varsha has many traits that can help a teenager or even a preteen develop into a more confident adult.

can you expand on the bold. just a bit curious

@bold - I don't think it is a whim this time round though. I think she is using it as some kind atonement / makeup solution in desperation. It is also the only one that was presented to her by a source she trusts i.e. believe it was one of the Ks?? don't remembercearly.
Archana told her to consider adoption.

Bhavna for all her biases or prejudices in this matter actually made the wisest solution - visit a medical expert. I agree it is the wisest solution however she should have discussed it with Satish and Varsha first before going ahead and fixing an appoinment.

this seems to be the last and least appreciated solution by all the K women unfortunately. They seem to survive on an exclusive diet of hope, Bappa, and naturopathy. I find it extremely silly. Just praying isn't gonna solve anything.

see the problem is that while Bhavna has her bias about Varsha so does Varsha about Bhavna - quite often people that we distrust or dislike say sensible things an we ignore it because we are blinded by our dslike of them. In fact even Savita - while she said things about Archana that are deatable, she said many hometruths to Manav about the mother -son relatioship that he ignored because he was consumed by her hatred for Archana. Well said, I completely agree.

ok my last statement was not about Archana though it did make reference to her. Even it if was about Archana, it doesn't make a difference to me.I do like Archana,but that doesn't mean I support her blindly or get angry when people criticize her actions. She is just a fictional character 😛

I don't think she is being a monster just highly unreasonable and at times dictatorial of late. Lets see what happens in future..Again, I don't analyze the TV characters and their future acts as they are not real people...So to I just take all this at Face value and see what the future holds.



@purple - you have made that comment before and I wanted to reply to it specifically but I did not as I thought it was a one off.

However, at its next instance, I cannot help observing the bolded blue contradicts thebolded purple

I dont mean to be rude but you have mentioned this is when quoting other members posts and it might make them feel ridiculous when their posts include analysis. I know I would feel like I was getting that message if someone quoting my posts responded to me as such before proceedng to counter my analysis with their own analysis of the characters at any point in time (whether in essay form or one liner)

I hope I have not been rude ( I have tried not to) and I do apologize in advance if you have taken offence but threads such as these are intended solely to analyze characters and share opinions, positions and arguments based on how we perceive the characters actions and anyone participating on this thread is naturally presumed to be doing all of the above whether they are presenting an opinion or countering it.

I am afraid that if I do not say this others who choose to make an analytical comment might shy away from doing so which will defeat the prupose of having such a thread.

I say this without prejudice to you, please accept it as such.

thanks Hope

A very good post indeed and very good points.....somehow thought of sharing my own personal experience here for the first time after seeing these posts......though I do not have a child so far but my sister's children are my children.....and love kids somehow I don't have the courage to go for adoption...have always loved kids all my life but when it comes to this I shudder at the very thought of it...its a huge responsibility and its not only through adoption you can show your love for kids or do your good deed to society.......i would say a chidless couple going for adoption do it more for themselves rather than anything else..

and here I would say Varsha has never ever used her brains while making decisions...and this is a huge huge responsibility which Varsha cannot handle for sure...



@ bold a good observation and quite true.

actually it is the ones with children that latter adopt to help other children and expand their brood.

All I can say is, this is PR-land, where they dont seem to believe in doctors. Therefore adoption is the preferred option over in-vitro or any other medical treatment...
But as far as Varsha being committed to adoption and raising an adopted child goes, I think she's prepared... She seems to fully regret what she's done and has accepted the consequences. I like that she's not shown as broken and given up on life; I like that they're showing her taking control of her future. I think she has a supportive husband who will help guide her if she falters. As much as I see bhavna's pov and believe she has a right to express it, I don't think it's up to her what decision Varsha and satish make. I get that she wants to be a Dadi, but Varsha has a right to be a mother... Personally speaking, I have 2 wonderfully amazing daughters-- an infant and a toddler. The decision to have a 3rd child is strictly up to myself and my hubby, but more so up to me. But no one else!!
I hope the cvs treat this adoption issue well and don't butcher it!! Perhaps it's time for some redemption for Varsha's botched up character.



@bold totally agree.
