i don't know man, i'm kinda divided on the topic. Given the time and situation they seperated in, it kind of makes sense to me. They were driven by grief.
Both of them stayed away thinking the other hated them, still held them responsible for what happened and maybe felt the resentment within themselves too and i think when you spend your life living a certain way long enough you become used to it.
Second of all as someone whose parents seperated, i think it's better growing up with a single parent than growing up between parents who have resentment for one another. I can attest to both because i remember when my parents divorced and i grew up with just my father after my mother passed away. (That's obviously not to say i don't wish she was still here. i just mean i don't know how messed up i would have been with the two of them still fighting their way through out my life. ) You just get torn between the fighting and with parents focusing more on their problems or unable to let go feelings it just becomes very toxic.
i think we forget that parents are human beings too. They aren't blessed with some God given instinct to do right all the time. They make mistakes because they are just as emotional and able to feel pain as anyone else. They do things thinking that it is the best for their child because they can't see how it may possibly play out in the long run. Sometimes a single parent can provide more stability than two parents together. So i don't know if they are selfish.
In terms of this show though, i think Pragya did a much better job on her own than Abhi did. Even before with Kiara, she was a great mother and her child was well rounded. Abhi on the other hand can only be a great father if Pragya is there to parent as well because you can see he the fab job he did with Rhea own his own. Like bro, you can't hand off your child to a governess or your family to raise. Every parent is responsible of instilling values in their child themselves. And despite all of the shit his sister has done, he still let her influence his child, that's messed up.
but do i find the idea that neither of them even thought about or attempted to meet each other or their child for 20 freaking years. Yeah, that's hard to believe. Abhi definitely had the means to find her if he wanted to, he just never did God knows why. I still can't believe he blamed Pragaya for Kiara's death when it was people related to his life, who were in their life because of him that were responsible for her death. SMH.
I've officially given up on logic in this show. My brain cannot handle the cellular degradation it brings to it.
