Males being considered heirs, the one who can take the family name forward is commonly seen throughout I wouldn't call it orthodox thinking, because it isn't, it is something that still goes about today even between young couples I know for a fact since my father had mentioned about a younger employee having seven children because he and wife his tried tried until their seventh child was a boy and there hadn't only been one such story there had been 2 - 3. I remember another mention about a person who remarried for a boy. So I guess you get the point this crazy thought that only a male can take the family's name forwards still exist in the society from the oldies to the younger ones, maybe not all families but in a lot.
Some people go so crazy in this whole need for heir, son, grandson want that they follow anything, from remarriage to doing rituals. They don't seem to realize a lot of things.
First biologically it depends of the guy what the baby gender is since the girl has only the X and depends on guy donating an X or Y which again isn't up to the guy as well because there is no control over that, so blaming the couple for it is wrong (Just to clarify am not saying Dadi said Naira can't have a boy or thought of Karthik's remarriage or that kind of stuff I am just talking in a general way.)
Second doing rituals, God created us sure he knows what is better for the people who he created than we ourselves, so we are just challenging his authority and telling him we know we need a son you don't know anything, how exactly do you think God is going to be pleased by that and change his decision. (Again to clarify I do not believe in pandits bhavishvani and all that of course they are chances that it can be true just like they are equal chances of it being a lie but even if they were a 100 % true still. I said it in a common sense kind of way you do some ritual to change the gender of a coming child, you are in a way challenging God's decision and challenging a person is not really a good way to please them and do something for you).
I am waiting to see how the truth unfolds in front of Kaira. We have seen them in all other relations but would love to see them being a protective parent to their coming baby girl, who isn't even in Naira's womb, who may or may not even come. Just like Karthik stood up in Friday's episode want to see the same but this time Kaira together. Just like Karthik send out the message of PreMarital Sex not being a sin and not letting past effect present. I hope for this track Kaira sending out the message of a girl can also be a heir, that a heir shouldn't be chosen by gender or age but by seeing who is more capable.
