Thanks for the update.

I am not very convinced with this adoption track from AnSh point of view, let alone pressures from elder Shekhars, Sa or pressures of handling a disabled child.

The whole adoption track (whether Anuja or Amol or another child) does not appear convincing as far as AnSh are concerned.

I don't get why Anandi does not want to have her own biological child first before adopting. Wouldn't it be nice if she experiences motherhood and understands a child's needs before adopting another child. That way she would be more experienced. Shiv also comes across quiet clueless in this matter and he is more happy that Anandi is happy. For Anandi it feels like she is fulfilling another social responsibility to set an example in the society rather than fulfilling her desire to be a mother.

The adoption track is good, but does not fit with AnSh. I don't think they are that capable enough to suddenly generate parental love for a child (especially a 6 year old) who equally understands that they are not his real parents. I find it hard to accept that a woman who is childless today has a 6 year old in her lap tomorrow. How will she generate motherly love over-night?

Women undergoing pregnancy develop a bond with the child and the parents start feeling the love for their child while it is in the womb. For those who cannot conceive and choose to adopt are lot more ready mentally to welcome an adopted child. They usually have a dying desire to parent a child. While some others adopt after they have had their own biological child/ren. What is Anandi's motivation and how will she connect?

Agree she felt some genuine connection with Amol, but is that enough to parent him? That genuine connection might make her a good care-taker, but can that make her a good mother?

Ganga - DS scenes were good, but this pregnancy track is stretched. I wish CVs had stretch the development of J-G love story instead of get them married haphazardly, and then immediately jumping on to pregnancy and stretching it.

So totally agree with you.

In real life - no couple wud be allowed to adopt a 6 yr old - with handicap or without - while they have not even completed a year together.

There relationship is also not as old as the child they r hoping to get. What agency wud agree to give them a kid rather any kid ?

You need to establish that you have a rock solid relationship and have the desire to nurture and parent and that requires a supportive family environment and also testimonials from friends who have kids to support your claim of being good and trustworthy with their own kids.
Here - they are showing it to be such a breeze - 😲 -just stroll in - see a child and say - this is it - this is the one I like - I'll take that.

She's not buying a sofa for the lounge - she's getting a kid. Hello !!!
Shiv is like a doting husband on a honeymoon. He just says - Yes Dear - to anything she says. But we have no clue about his real thoughts on this baby business.

Their bedroom are upstairs - just that everyday is going to be a huge task.
There are going to be so so many issues. No agency in India behaves like this. And people with a challenging life conditions need a lot of empathy and equal treatment and support - not sympathy and tears and pity.

Anandi cries at the drop of a hat - or at the curl of Sanchi's lip - how can she prove herself to be stable and strong when other kids refuse to include him in their play or don't invite him to their b'day parties ?

Its all very well to say - people are mean and selfish by choosing healthy kids over challenged ones - but isn't that a fact of life ? Why berate people for it ?

Anandi and Shiv never worked out real reasons on why they want to adopt a child. (Unless if I missed an episode somewhere).

For all I know Shiv wanted his own biological child some time back (or unless it was his way of coaxing his wife into having physical intimacy) but regardless, the idea of adopting a child was never a burning desire for him.

They are only a year old couple (as per CVs) and Shiv is still in that romantic phase of his life (which is natural), so to get the fatherly feelings also has to be a natural process and not an abrupt one like this. Where the wifey says I want this child and he says yes let's go for it'

They haven't even discussed how prepared they are to handle a 6 year old, who is disabled. They haven't even interacted with Amol to understand him. (Since he is of an age where he can grasp and react, an interaction between him and would-be parents is must)

This adoption track does not sync from its roots, let alone other challenges.

Why is Ganga shown to be so careless. This is the 3rd or 4th time she is slipping!

After seeing the precap:
1. In which decent family does the youngest member get away with talking such crap in front of elders and outsiders - doesnt she know her limits? She doesnt even wait for someone to respond before adding her point. Such a contrast to BH family
2. Seriously want Shiv & Anandi to move out of KB and bring up the kid in a positive non political environment
CVs - either bring Sanchi on track or move the kid out

You still complaining? 😲...we have already given up on her plus Shekhars aren't really that decent if Saanchi still shows the guts to speak the crap 😔🤢

Orphanage scene was done well.
Child was presented very well.He seemed like an introvert with a positive attitude towards life.
His disability may have made him into an introvert because he did not get chances to mingle with children of his age much but that did not seem to make him sad a child instead his lonliness turned him into an artiste and helped him give expression to his thoughts.Hope they make use of this positive personality of the child in his interactions with KB family members.
AnSh and the child bonding seemed very natural
Wish they had toned down Anandi's out burst at people who refused to adopt.Her outburst made it seem like she is adopting the kid because nobody wanted to have that kid.It is obvious that their decision to adopt a child is an emotional decision and they did like the child a lot and wanted to give their best to him.
As for the family reactions all the reactions from the family members were along expected lines.Ira was more concerned about the enormity of the task that AnSh have taken up Anop being conservative probably is against adoption.
Meenu and Alok knew that Shiv and Anandi are capable of taking on this responsibility and working towards fulfilling it from the bottom of their heart and experience joy from doing the same.
Ganga - Mannu and DSa scene was good too.Nice to see Ganga being concerned about Mannu.
Precap -Sanchi as usual interfering in matters that don't concern her.

I don't think anup is being conservative as he had readily agreed for adoption of amol before knwoing about his disability

Well said šŸ‘...that's why even with such cute child i am not able to accpet the track properly...in Anandi's case i wouldn't say that it's impossible for her to love the child suddenly...some women have in-built motherhood in them which means they turn out to be very loving mothers even to strangers' child...Anandi had always been attached with children and i could see that same love in her eyes for Amol too...but i feel in this adoption Shiv's role seems very unconvinced becoz he was more eager for his own child and i feel if ever one tries to take adoption like AnSh did it can prove difficult...Shiv's parental clock may be ticking but i feel his fatherly feelings will come out more for his own child than adopted one...what if later on he becomes more attahced to his own child...it's very unreal how Shiv is behaving and his happiness in this adoption looks more like an husband's happiness to see his wife happy and a soft hearted person's happiness to help someone in need...adoption is not totally a social service even if for AnSh's it's just a way to make a child life's brighter...they are just not able to come out with those parental feelings yet specially Shiv.
