Blood relations are they the only important relation

Yesterday epi I would say raised an important question and also I guess spread an important message too. We know in our society too much importance is given to blood relation. My son, my daughter, our family, honour of the family list is endless. The unnecessary importance given to blood relation is what makes a DIL not part of the family compared to the daughter of the family.
But is it true. Are blood relations the only solid ones or can some other relation bring more joy and contentment than the so called blood relation. Actually this aspect is explored in yesterday's epi with Shika Maa and Tara.
Take the 2 women. One had a child and lost him. Other was told she will never be able to have a biological child. Motherhood is treated as the most important phase of a woman's life. Lot of divinity is associated with the fact that the mother carries the child 9 months in her womb and gives birth. She knows the pain and only if she has undergone the pain she will be able to relate to the child. Really to be a mother to someone do you need to give birth.
Tara ponders over the question of adoption telling she is not sure whether she will be able to love the adopted child as her own. I agree to her views because of the importance given to blood relations and the way motherhood is described it is natural for a woman to feel dejected, lose hope and doubt herself when she is told she cant have a biological child. I mean it is treated as a bane in the woman's life that she cannot be a mother , something of a curse from the sin you have committed in the past. Maybe if you only look at the closed door. But Tara finally is able to look at the open door. When she is able to connect to the child who became an orphan because his entire family died in floods she accepts him in her life as her own child. Tara who has been doubtful whether she will be able to love a child which is not her own is able to love Chand. She is able to nurture him, care him, motivate him and plays an important role along with her husband in making him a principled and well behaved young man. From a woman who otherwise have wallowed and lived the life in self pity for not able to bear a biological child becomes the light of a young boy who otherwise would have lived a lonely and deprived life in some orphanage like Arjun.
Now coming to Shika Maa. Her sister so called Seema Mausi is running all over her now. Where was she when money had to be arranged for her sister's operation. It needed a guy who was not her blood relation to go all out even forgetting his acrophobia to save his adoptive mother's life. Aakash is connected to Shika Maa in a way people with myopic view like Seema Mausi cannot understand. Blood relations like Seema Mausi are good weather relatives. Come when everything is fine, orders around, talks about sanskaar, honour what not without even understanding what they stand for. Unfortunately it is not easy to shut up these people because of the over importance given to blood relations in her society. Because if something is said they will tell " Oh you told this to your only sister for that orphan boy" blah blah. Seema Mausi is unable to understand Shika Maa is another woman who has decided to look at the open door than the closed one. She has also decided to be a mother for another orphan boy who is also treating her like his own mother.
Blood relation is important but I would say it is not the most important. It depends as true relations can be found outside the so called blood relations also. Friends and hus-wife are the easiest to identify but other realtions like bro-sis, mother-child, father-child etc also can be foundif we are willing to look beyond the myopic realm. Because all these relations if you look are actually innate feelings which we never know can always open up when we are able to establish the right connect with the person.

Absolutely not

I believe that we can even despise some blood relations (like father etc)

but truly love some other relation (wife)

@naveenlock I never said blood relation doesn't matter, but my question was is it the only thing. Biological mother or father will be always parents but does that mean only they can give protective cover and love a child wants. There is a question Yasodha asks Krishna when he is going to Mathura. Everyone is telling you are the son of Devaki, she is the one who gave birth to you. So will I still remain your mother. To which Krishna says that truth cannot be changed, yes he is the son of Devaki but that doesn't take away the right Yasodha has on him to call her kanha " Beta" or neither his right to call her " Maiyya".
God himself keeps nature and nurture on the same plank. Krishna himself treats Devaki and Yasodha same way, then who are we to tell only blood relations matter or to tell only your biological mother can be mother to you.

ya,sometimes we find some people who are actually more caring and loving to us than our so called relatives,they understand us better than anyone else can do but it is also true that there are only some people like that bcoz in todays world people are more selfish than being helpful but we can get some people who love us from the bottom of their heart and it actually the true love.

I agree with you Sruthi. Blood relationships are not necessary to have love in relationships. If you love someone purely, nothing else will come to your mind and you will not hesitate in loving others. Even if you feel hesitated, you will love the person. Example - Tara and Shikha, they loved Chaand and Aakash respectively very purely as their respective son. or Aakash and and even Akash and Anjali. Reena as well.

@Dev the actual message is to open up. We are so hesitant to open up. To look beyond blood relations to give love and care.
There was options in front of Tara and Shika Maa to give love or wallow in pain. Many people actually do the latter crying we didn't get this and that, whereas only few people open upto the immense possibilities that actually enrich one's life meaningfully.

What a beautiful post!!
Yesterday these two women made it even more special when it comes to choose relations. I admired these two characters which was outstandingly characterised.. The one Shikha ma who always been a supportive, courageous who doesn't mind or care about any words in reciprocating his selfless love for Aakash which moves to next level. Same goes to Tara who adopted Chand in her life who don't have any idea how she will take care of him by reciprocating her love.. Tara stands out so beautifully when she accepted Chand in shaping and nurturing his life into a most precious gift.. It's a real fact whatever Tara questioned about herself regarding sharing her love to unknown birth.. Blood relations are so important in everyone's life...But at crucial times is that blood relations are so helpful? No there are people who got immense love and support other than blood relations too..!
