Anyway, I am not sure who did what, or whether it was intentional or not - I am just saying when someone gets knocked up and then a marriage happens - to me I interpret that as one of them doesn't want to be with the other person long-term and now "has to" commit. Could be the guy or even the girl too! Its not even about having a child out of wedlock, I raise cheers to a Neena Gupta who was not married and raised Masaba as a single mom, I applaud her authenticity.
In my personal opinion, I feel like its worse to marry someone because "you have to" than to be dumb, fool around or be a bimbo. Its downright disrespectful to one's self-worth.
Yeah kaunsa zamana hai that you have to marry to save face just because you've missed your period. People terminate pregnancies all the time. Even married couples do. And there's nothing wrong with people deciding to marry for the sake of the child . Children need families , children not only need the love and support of both parents but also easy and continued access to both parents up to a certain age and marriage is the most convenient arrangement for that. If you're old enough to have unprotected sex ,you're old enough to suck it up and be the parent to the child you brought into this world . Prioritising your child doesn't make you inauthentic. This idea that two people have to madly in love with each other to make a marriage work is silly. Most marriages in the world are actually about convenience and over time couples grow fond of each other. Kudos to Neena for raising Masaba but that doesn't make her 'authentic' , it makes her courageous if anything because being a single mother is hard enough, being an unwed mother must have been way harder ,that too back then.
As for Alia 'trapping' Ranbir with an anchor baby , unless she had been poking holes in condoms I don't see how she'd do that without his knowledge. It takes two people for a woman to get pregnant.
