Gayatri does not want this life for herself

Irrespective of whether you are anti-abortion or pro-choice, the situation right now gives us good insights into Gayatri and her opinion of her life.

Gayatri states that she is aborting to save the child a lifetime of pain and fear. Somewhat true, but this view reflects her opinion about the family. I don't know if she knew what she was getting into when she married Shankar, but there is no doubt that she learned of it shortly thereafter. If this made her uncomfortable and weary of starting a family, she should have used BIRTH CONTROL. I think once she discovered she was pregnant, her fears became even stronger and more immediate. She wants nothing to do with that side of Shankar's life.

This is telling -- she aborted because she knew Shankar would not and could not leave his family. Whatever your view is of abortion, it is not her decision alone. While her body is hers to do what she wants, in pregnancy, the husband has equal rights to the child and knowledge of it. I DO HOPE Shankar finds out. Why? Because Gayatri needs to face up to what she feels about the family and Shankar. Does she really love Shankar? Because I think she only loves certain things, but not the whole person. How else could she go behind his back after telling everyone she was pregnant and abort?

From where I stand, I think Gayatri is a torn, confused person. She feels she can't live a full and complete life because she is Shankar's wife.

Aside from abortion, she does have another thing at her disposal---DIVORCE ! I recommend she look into it. 👏 👏

Right, I think she should get a divorce. If she doesnt want this life then she should leave it and take her child with her

Yeah, I think she's thinking about herself too, she herself doesn't feel its right that Shankar was left uneducated while Shaurya got higher studies. Somewhere deep inside, I think she's pretty insecure of this kind of life- especially after Shankar got shot in the arm. I think that kinda triggered her fears more and led to this outburst and after that the Swati topic, but yeah I think she will end up aborting, atleast according to the promo!

Totally agreed . Had given same opinion in another post . Gayatri didnt create the baby alone . Body may be hers ....baby isnt just hers . Birth control is there . And she was fine and happy sum days back and she knew even then that Shankar was a gangster .

Agreed dat divorce is a solution. But we must remember dat it is a modern day solution. Not all castes n communities or even families believe in this solution. Even 2day there r some homes where this word is taboo. Alao she may have thought that she could give her child a safe n secure life like Shaurya n Swati. But now she has realised dat some day or other her child too will find out. Moreover it was Swati's final words which have had this effect - WHY DID THEY BRING ME IN2 THIS WORLD. Maybe she thinks her child too will say this 2 her one day. (Pl this is just my opinion No hard feelings)

well said totally agree wid u

I strongly agree with your point about 'birth control'... She was fully aware of all situations before she became pregnant. Could she not have thought about the consequences before?

Her body or not... it still doesn't give her the right to end the life of an innocent. Willingly killing your own child.. what sort of justice is that?

I feel she (Gayatri) has been portrayed as too weak and confused. It took her hubby putting a gun to his head to realise how much the child means to him. Then all of a sudden she turned to being FOR having the child... what happened to the 'gangster' aspects of things at that moment? She is by far very very very indecisive about what she wants.

In my opinion... I think her steps were very selfish and impulsive. Had she have gone through with it.. we would have had to follow a trail of regret and tears from her...
