Apologies in advance, if a similar is poll is made before.

I know there is enough of discussion on child Vs career through posts and polls. Majority of the members are supporting Nidhi as she is younger also 2 years is not a big deal and feel Ashutosh has to compromise on this front. Her dreams are justified and his desires are righteous. Then why aren't we supporting Ashutosh instead of Nidhi as 2 years has the same count for both of them ???


As couple they both are equals and share the common platform; in a relationship both the hubby and wife have to make adjustments, complement each other and allow their partner to grow in their own space. Decision making should be mutual common agreement with out any compulsions or reservations, coz both the partners have their own dreams/ desires and can never be overlooked but here it is not mutual but imposed...


my doubt is aren't we mixing our personal choices against the characters. Majority of us are urban educated working people, and we add great value to career...is this inclination for career, financial independence and empowerment is making us to support Nidhi's dreams over Ashu's desires. Or is this stemming from our sub conscious thinking, she already made a compromise by marrying an elder person, so it is he who need to make compromises?? or just because we don't want to see the baby track so soon...


Please don't throw rotten eggs or tomatoes...just wanna know your reason behind the immense support for Nidhi

Nandini: i voted for any other reason.. Bcoz, i feel she has taken an initiative to join back kotnis as she feels that she needs to be a identity of herself as a Doc rather than a housewife..

An excellent post...I can't vote because while I do support Nidhi's desires, I do not support her unilateral decision on a time frame without talking to Ashutosh about it...she could have easily sat Ashutosh down, shared her road map for her future with him and then had a discussion on what would be a realistic time frame for this, without compromising either of their desires..that would have been the most sensible way to handle the situation...he spoke of his desire to have a baby...but he did not ask her to get pregnant tomorrow...!

And you are right..if it is just two years in the context of Ashutosh, it is just two years in the context of Nidhi too...if his desire can wait, so can hers...and being much older than her, time is running out faster for him! That is the harsh reality, whether we like it or not...!

I dont think nidhi has made any compromise.no one forced her to marry ashu.he was chosen by her. D reasons y i support nidhi.
A)she isnt ready herself. She said so many times.
B) its just one month 4 god's sake. Wats d hurry. Koi train thodi na chut rahi.
C)she isnt even a graduate.let her complete wat she gave 4 yrs for.
D)ashu n nidhi dont even understand each other as a couple. Dont think they can handle pregnancy n parenthood pressure.
E) let them njoi their time 2gether b4 takin addnal resp.
F)nothing wrong in wanting an own identity.
G) hated that dusro ka paisa dialogue. She cant earn tyvm.

Interesting poll n pov. . i believe u are personally supporting Ashu? Please correct me if i m wrong..!


Regarding the poll .. as u rightly mentioned.. its a marriage of equals.. Nidhi has lagged in her career.. courtesy Ashu ... n hence.. it makes all the more sense that he makes it up to her by giving her the appropriate oppurtunity... ! Now that she has the desire back to complete her internship. .why not cheer on??? 2 years is not something that is biologically gonna make it difficult for Ashu to rear a child.. n hence.. it makes no sense barring the emotional pangs he has.. to want to have a child..!

Remember .. his desire is spurred on by an external stimulus.. aka DB !!


My answer is ...

a) She has the right to make her choice.. compromise is part and parcel of a marriage .. and marriage is for BOTH .. the onus cannot be on the WOMAN ALONE ...and ALWAYS!

b) My personal inclination of independence and self identity .. which need not be prefixed with a Mrs. and suffixed with a Mathur..!

Sujatha, I was waiting to read your analysis...is indeed beautiful. Being a working woman I personally want her to complete her internship but not this way, ignoring his desires...He can be easily convinced even for 10 years with sensitive and rational discussion.

Nandini,,exactly what I said elsewhere...even ten years is no big deal...we have seen Hollywood stars become fathers at sixty and seventy...men do not suffer the kind of restrictions that women do with regard to the biological cycle...of course modern medicine has broken even that down thanks to assisted conception and surrogacy...so long as the decision is mutual and not thrust by one person on another, I don't think any of us has a problem!

I agree with your reasons but remember even Ashutosh should enjoy this time period in the same way like Nidhi. I just mean to say, why aren't we supporting him?? He is 43 and running out of time, orphan so want to have a blood tie, want to have a child to bind their relationship aren't these reasons valid??

I don't think any couple can ever understand each other to the core as everyone has something to hide from his/her partner, it is normal psyche of human beings...no one is transparent to the other

He has been supported to the hilt ... till 42 (when he meets Nidhi) he had no desire in life.. no need for love.. etc etc... n in just one year.. he wants the world.. ! Agree.. 'our wants are unending' but his desire is not justifiable.. in my view..!

Further.. its not something that comes from him. .it came from a trigger... it was dormant till this day..despite the fact that he always loved kids.. always loved the childrens ward more. even before Nidhi came in his life.. 😊

Thurst upon?? 😆

When did that happen?? She was wondering.. if he will approve or not.. if he will feel bad or not.. n hesitatingly .. she asked him for those 2 years... ! I dun think its thrust upon. n even if it is.. i dun think there is one marriage in this world where.. both partners always discuss things and everything goes as per mutual consent..!

There is always an element where one partner has a bigger say in something than another one..! Eventually both learn to move to common ground n make peace with it!
