As Samar's biological father, I'd say Shakti has the most rights over Samar. It is sad for Prats because ideally she should have been given more rights because she sacrificed a lot for Samar.

To be honest, I was quite unhappy with Prats sacrifice. It's not what she did, but how she did it. She didn't consult Krishna and made a decision that affected them both. That was wrong of her. Being a strong woman doesn't entail belittling one's husband. I think if the creatives showed Prats consulting Krishna and then making the decision, I would have been more supportive of her, but I think this is her karma--Samar being taken away--she took away Krishna's right to a decision such as having or not having a child. Krishna was just as much entitled to make that decision as Prats, but she didn't even once ask him.

I guess I went off topic... sorry, lol.

Such a good point you raised, Rahm... I didn't even think about it before this, but now that you did, it's so valid. Pratigya just took the decision on her own and expected Krishna agree with her AND be happy about this. This is not a decision one person makes alone, esp when Pratigya knew very well since the beginning that Baba was quite eager to have a child (come on, he had her fake a pregnancy, plus he wanted to compete with Komal in having a baby 😆)
Prats was wrong, and I think Krishna should have voiced his objections at some point... but I think it's too late for that now.

I think SS's insistence on being the high authority over everybody who lives in his house is what really complicates the question. Wasn't it him who gave baby Samar to Pratigya? He never respected his son's right to decide for the child. He didn't even initially think that KN needed to get remarried, he was fine just giving the child to Pratigya. Now he changed his mind and is rejecting his own previous decisions.

I know that KN-Menaka technically have the rights to the child, but it is shown in the house that their claim to authority is less than SS'. Moreover they really don't have moral rights. Menaka doesn't even want this responsibility, and in fact did a huge injustice to Samar before she even became his stepmother by insisting on his disinheritence. KN doesn't want to be a father, and didn't marry Menaka to give Samar a mother. It might have been Amma's reason, but not his!

Ideally, I think the person who has done the best for the child and really nurtured him or made the right decisions about how to take care of him, should have the rights. But it's not an ideal world, and SS has the final say, so it doesn't matter that KN is biologically the father or that Pratigya has been raising him like her own.

I didn't know Pratigya made the decision about not having children without talking to Krishna. Was this shown before the leap? Also please correct me if I'm wrong on facts about what happened after Kesar's breakdown, I thought I knew what happened but it seems like I'm not remembering the same events as everyone else!

Great topic Elle and totally agree with Pragati - great posts in response too!

Nothing new to add really except to highlight the hypocritical stance of SS in all of this...saying only a woman like P could make the sacrifice for Samar and then 4 years on completely trusting a relative stranger over the woman who nurtured his grandson...

my other biggest gripe is how Samar calls P maa - its messing with his mind...P could have done everything she did - but still call her chachi...

Sad but true - Samar is not P's resposibility and the oath she took of not having babies of her own must now be revoked...K's suggestion, ever the practical man - is bang on! (pardon the pun!)😆

Finally also agree that P knows the score and that's why she knows she has no choice but to relinquish care and control of Samar - but love her fall-back position of not sitting quietly if Samar appears to be suffering!!! Aakhir Pratigya hai yaar!!!😃

Dekhiki, it was the last episode before the leap where Pratigya is handed over the care of Samar. When Prats realized that Samar needed a mother, she offered her services, and consulted Krishna if they could take Samar's responsibilities. Krishna readily agreed for that.
But when Amma and SS questioned what Prats would do once her own child was born... I'm sorry to say, Pratigya did not even LOOK towards Krishna (let alone consult him) before she announced that she will not have her own kids. It was very very evident by Krishna's expressions that he was not happy with this decision (we all know he'd been very eager to have children of his own). Once taking the decision, Pratigya merely urged Krishna to understand that Samar was more important currently and basically he should accept it. And we all know how K cant refuse her anything, but I still feel that this is not the way to handle such sensitive matters.
KN's subordinate position in the household is very evident ... Infact even when the decision was made to hand over Samar to Pratigya, no one consulted KN. Not Pratigya, not SS. Pratigya simply asked Sajjan Singh, and he made the decision without talking to Shakti, and when Shakti protested, SS made sure he obeyed. Not that he's worthy of any position of power, but I think one of the major reasons for Shakti's belligerence is that he never recieved any sort of respect in his household right from the start.

Good one 😃

pratigya has best interests of samar in her heart n sure she feels for him just like a mother as she helped in his delivery n also raised him for 4 years...she may not have fed him breast milk but the bond can be clearly seen...the kid threw stone at kesar only bec he saw kesar hurting P... so samar also loves P very much...but she can't do much about his life as long as his so called father n his parents n new wife r there...bec P just doesn't have enough say in samar's matter although we know what's best for samar...KN is a horrible n sorry excuse for a human being let alone a father n M , she don't know what's womanhood let alone motherhood... legal rights may be with KN n M n SS n SDS , but moral n emotional rights is with P n K

SS had also said that P was free to raise Samar as she liked, but words are just words, they can be revoked anytime.
Even I don't like Samar calling Pratigya Maa. Given she is so concerned about how Samar should consider Kesar as a mom, she herself should have been chachi and Kesar Maa instead if pagli amma. She's made Samar completely her own, even without consideration that Kesar might have gotten better soon.
I do like her stance that she will not watch quietly if Samar is under bad influence... but somehow I think, infact I was very happy when she said that. Inspite of all that, I think she's going to find it extremely difficult to relinquish control over Samar EVEN IF Meneka manages to take good care of him.
Looking forward to the Kriya baby, Chinki and Samar are so adorable, one more will be the icing on the cake 😊

I would like to add what i think of P's decision of not becoming a mother for samar's upbringing ...😃

i do find it wrong that P didn't consult K before taking such an important life altering decision ...n also i was really angry at her for disregarding the man who stood by her all the time...but we must also look at the situation...the thakurs were torturing the child in the name of medicine n when she protested n requested them to let her take the child to a good doctor...they didn't agree ...it was then she requested to bring up he child as kesar is unwell , n SDS n SS mocked her n taunted her that she wouldn't take good care of samar as she is not his mother n she will shove him away when her child comes...if P had said 'no, i won't do like that ...i will take good care of samar as much as my own child' then they would have told her to prove that ...n the meantime they will take care of samar...the thakurs r bound to say that...so P will have to wait for an year to give birth to her child n prove to them that she won't discriminate between the children...she was desperate ATM n to shut them up once n for all she took that decision ...she didn't have time to call K aside n discuss the matter over as the child was suffering from high fever n she wanted to take him to a good doctor ASAP...she is wrong in taking the decision all by herself , but she is forced by the circumstances...and she did tell K that 'for now' we should take care of samar n only think of him...n i think that's why K agreed...even though he didn't like it...both wanted a child , not just K...If K wanted to become a father ASAP to defeat komal P wanted to have a child as he/she could bring a new meaning to the life n changes the world around u n also with K's nose n her smile...but at the right time when the father of the child is ready to take its responsibilities n rightly so...


and as many raised here, the point is SS's hypocrisy n a constant fear of loosing his power...also SDS's too...she only said that no other woman can raise another woman's child like their own n taunts P about it...but she has no problem in handing the child to M who is also an other woman , but is praising her as the real mother 🤢

i would also like to add that SS gets his wishes dome mainly bec K has mellowed down quite a bit ... if K chooses , SS won't stand a chance

I like that line in bold... P should have the rights which SS promised her 4 yrs ago, and in a way, she did. It's all been a problem since Meneka has come and started poisoning everyones minds. Now she's suddenly powerless. One of the things that really bothered me was when SS asked Prats that with who's permission she took Samar to meet Kesar? Does she really need to ask for such a minor thing?

I agree that P was pretty much forced under the circumstances to make an On-the-Spot decision of not having kids. What I would have liked was that just BEFORE announcing it to the family, she would just ask Krishna that "Krishna, hum yeh faisla karna cha rahe hain, batao, tum is mein humare saath ho?"
And then Krishna would have agreed, under the circumstances. But there is a major difference in asking before announcing, and announcing and then explaining to Krishna that he must agree. The outcome would be the same, but the decision mutual.
SDS has no fear of losing power, for her it's all about going against Pratigya. She only said the no other woman line to spite P and EVEN if she knows M will not be a good mother, she will give Samar to M, just to anger P. That is the only purpose in her life now.

hear you...but cant help feeling that SS has a point, even though coming from him makes it skeptical, which is as grandparents, how can P think she cares most for Samar, or even more than they do?

maana that the TNs tareeke all wrong - lekin P has used her powers of persuasion many a time to sway SS, and it has worked...sometimes! So why didnt she use her powers or bhashans to explain to SS rather than take the unilateral step of announcing she wont have kids of her own?

To me - the decision to abstain from having her own children is almost a red herring - she did it with complete faith in K knowing he will back her up - despite him bechaara being caught out on the back foot - a much bigger point is she thought she could do it better than the TNs...which is the far bigger bone of contention because you know the TNs will pull the rug from under her feet as and when it suited them - which they now have.

Bringing up Samar was always going to be a temporary thing for P in that TN house - she just forgot...in her love for him

if P can have the jigar to put herself up for the task - she has to equally have the jigar to deal with the conseqs of a change in those same circumstances that compelled her in the first place...and that could be anything, Saktiya's remarriage , or even Ksr getting better...
