Should Abhi be responsible for Tannu's baby?

I know the answer is No! Of course, we know the baby is not his.

But from Abhi's point of view, he thinks the baby is his.

I wonder what you forum people think Abhi should do about it.

As the situation stands for Abhi, he was hurt and angry one night, had gotten drunk heavily and Aaliyah suggested that he should go see his girlfriend Tannu. He wanted to pour his heart out with a 'friend' which is what he did that night.

All he remembers is waking up the next morning and '6 weeks later' (however the KB calendar works), he learns indirectly that Tannu is trying to get Pragya out of his life claiming pregnant.

Then on the decision about that baby was not just his. Pragya also got involved and later parents on both sides.

What do you guys think about responsibility from Abhi's side?

Should he have accepted to marry/take care of baby right away?

Should he have a choice to decide on his own without having to worry about the burden of having no choice?

Assuming he does not know baby truth, now that he knows what kind of a person Tanu is, changes things for him. He should have a choice. She is a criminal now since she stole. So he should not be forced to marry a criminal. Now that everyone knows, what if they complain to the cops? Just saying, not that someone in MM will send her to jail.

Cerealgirl, do you think Abhi should have a choice to not take responsibility of the baby either?

Or let me ask this-
If a man and woman are dating (not married) and one day the man gets the woman drunk and gets her knocked up against her wishes (she didn't want to get pregnant). When the woman learns she is pregnant, does she have a choice to decide if she wants that baby or not?

Tia, I was watching the entire episode.. Please anyone can tell the truth to him.. I was like why the team not even trying to tell.. Pragya can use that na.. Even abhi asked what sarla Maa did to u?? Then Also no one bother to tell him truth.. I don't know why pragya waiting?? What for she waiting.. Why cv's r doing all this??




I know this is not the answer for ur post.. Just now watched the episode.. Frustrated

Sri, I replied to you in Rishu's in and out thread.. Same thoughts and I agree to everything you said.

I have seen couples marrying in India because of unplanned babies. I am talking of middle class values in B or C towns. It is common. It happens in metro cities too, though less frequently. This is still an Indian show meant for traditional audience living in India who identify with this. So Abhi is responsible.

Yes from his pov he is responsible for the baby and Tanu.Just that she stole money how can he escape from the responsibility.

I understand what you are saying in fact a lot of Kumkum oriented dialogues, showing modern looking women as vamps and showing Pragya 'ideal' bahu- all are to please a certain class of audience.
I also know of movies where they show a girl getting married to a man who forced her into a baby!
Appearently KB is more a hit with urban audience. TV soaps could as well change the mentality of people by showing an alternative thought!!

Chubby, he is forced to think that way due to a set of values that a bunch of people in the soap believe in. Abhi himself didn't feel strongly about the baby may be due to intuition or due to his liberal values or due to that he never ever meant to have that baby.
