this exactly is my issue. Ek toh i hate baccha track. Plus the writing is just so horrible. No matter how much i try, I'm unable to connect to her pain or longing. It's coming out as desperation to prove others wrong. They really shouldn't bring a child at this point when she's so desperate. It's better to conclude this track with her understanding that she's complete even without a child. This whole narrative of being incomplete and unhappy without a baby is pissing me off sm
The fact that she thinks a complete family only means having a mom, dad and child itself is problematic because she grew up being raised by a single mom and they were a happy family by themselves even if she did miss having a big family. All kinds of families exist and are complete and beautiful in themselves as long as it is filled with love and care. Her rants about bachcha always only have two things - Armaan's happiness and "complete" family. None of this would seem half as problematic if she was always like this. She never believed that the pinnacle of womanhood is limited to being a mother and if she was not a mother, she was bad person or worthless. The abuse she faced at the hands of Vidya during the infertility track has made her so desperate and its horrible. Her wanting a child so bad is a trauma response at this point and not genuine want for motherhood. They should address that and close this bachcha rant now rather than do this drama of surrogacy, etc. I mean imagine any level headed, practical woman opting to make her ex sautan / evil step cousin her surrogate????? Especially with the bachcha chori history between. This is a BAAAD idea for so many reasons.
