have you seen the old tom cruise movie "jerry maguire"? so in that the second lead advises the ML that one does not just date a single mother. because she has responsibilites, you are also taking those on when you date her. so if you are not prepared to stand in there and be there for her and children, it is dicey to get involved. it is not just her getting hurt but also her children. so the second lead advises jerry to be clear about his intentions and how he feels about mother and son. don't jump in because you are lonely.
in katha's case, we also have society -- basically her in-laws and her other relations. so it is far more complicated than just dating a single woman. especially ehsaan seems to be having a series of flings and then losing interest and just moving on. as a single woman, it only impacts her to a certain extent. but in katha, it also impacts aarav. that is why viaan is concerned because he knows what ehsaan is like. for all his claims about saccha wala pyaar, ehsaan is fickle and all about the chase.
viaan also understands that katha is in somewhat vulnerable state. after going through a health crisis, most people are exhausted. there is a need for support. viaan saw how scared katha got when she thought aarav was lost. so he understands how much she needs a steady man. not someone who is going to dart in and out of her life.
so I don't think viaan is being offensive when he reminds ehsaan katha is a mother. I have relatives who are divorced and they are wading through the matrimonial market. so a rishta where it is a divorcee with children, they navigate a lot more carefully and there is a lot of thought. it isn't because they are against children but rather everyone wants to make no one gets hurt especially a child. so a rishta where it is just divorcee vs a divorcee with children is definitely handled differently.
As usual nicely explained. 👍🏼
Bold- I always had a problem with Viaan when he says woh ek Maa hei. Now i will keep all these points in mind.
By the way in Jerry Maguire, that kid was so cute.❤️
