The problem I have with Ankitas lie is that it will negatively affect Pari. Pari was shown as strong but emotionally vulnerable person. Once she discovered about Naren marriage, she respected it and walked away. She said herself many times that she respects that and wouldn't want to deprive anyone of their rights. However Ankita lied in order to get Naren his Ahana aka Pari back at Pari's expense. Ankita wants Naren happy at any cost. Pari has been misled by not just Ankita but Naren as well when he told her the baby is probably Shasanks.

Ankita says she doesn't want to be a burden on Naren and be with him just cuz shes pregnant but then why would Pari want to be with him when he's becoming the father of someone elses child? She said she didn't want to force herself on anyone either. She wants to create a home with the truth also. She doesn't want to be a burden either.

Pari will be the ultimate victim here. Had, Ankita been honest and Pari still married Naren and then suffered then I would say she made her own bed. However, Pari has been misled deliberately for the sake of Naren.

At least thats how I see it.

hi ambolove, hope u dont mind me quoting u. i respect ur opinion completely but theres some things i guess i disagree on.😊 I wud say the reason people assumed the baby to be shashanks was because Ankita told Pari firmly that she loved Shashank first and when the pregnancy news came out to Pari she probably thought it was shashanks since that was who ankita loved(according to Pari, ankita did not love naren) Since ankita lied to Naren and Pari, they probably assumed that the baby belongs to shashank only, she did not give a direct answer. Ankita made it clear in the letter that she loves Naren but she shud have directly said in the letter that my baby belongs to Naren, Naren cud not deny it if she said that but she made it sound too complicated in her letter and neither did she correct Naren at the train station when Naren clearly said that the baby Ankita's carrying is not his, instead she started lecturing him so much like as if shes done so much for him and trying to make him sound like a selfish person, Naren was only trying to help out Ankita if she needed but she rudely declined it, if she had come out clear about the fact that the baby she was carrying is Naren's, the confusion wud not have occurred. She has never clearly said that the baby is Naren's so Naren and Pari are going to be confused about it and they wont think the baby is Naren's since Ankita didnt directly tell them.

With all the complications we are observing in the show currently, I feel compelled to say this about the writing in the show.

I guess at the root of this all is the compulsive lying/hiding/covering in by all characters - the good, the bad, the ugly - in the PR land. As far as I can remember, I do not think any character in the 3 generations has been an exception (Ok, may be Sundari!).

Anything looks complicated and/or difficult? Don't bother to confront or resolve it. Just lie. Easy.

And even though this is the only Indian serial I have followed, just from getting glimpses of other shows my parents watch, I feel that lying/hiding/covering seems to be the most frequently used narrative device in Indian serials. The stories just can't proceed without all types of characters lying. Sometimes I think that this points to such a lack of imagination in development of plots. But then, I have to say (just from watching this serial) that there is whole range of diversity in reasons and forms of lying.

Some characters lie because they are manipulative and selfish and don't care about hurting (even destroying) others; some lie to cover which may be something totally silly; others (the good ones) lie for the sake of others. In addition to reasons behind lying, there are forms and quality of lying of a wide variety. Some are good at it and present a believable lie; some are so lame that you just have laugh and wonder as to who but the stupid other characters would believe them. And with so many lies they tell, do the characters keep a log of whom they told what on their iphones, which, like their noses (that they poke everywhere) are inseparable from them?

I think one can write a whole PhD. dissertation on use of lying as a narrative device in Indian serials!

Uff! And then Aamir Khan has a show - "Satyameva Jayate" - "only truth wins" !!!!

Go figure that one out!
