@BI - Interesting point, I doubt the boys know about the abortion thing or else Harshad would have totally be cut out from their lives, Alya won't look for redemption or apology from Mukti. He broke her heart by cheating on her- that is one thing Mukti was always senstiive about coming from a family where she saw her parents' do that to each other. That kind of sucked her interest in love. Her issues stem from emotional betrayal and she seems to make it up by numbing it using her sexuality. I don't remember Mukti's family issues actually, must have skipped that in the fast-forwarding. But yeah, this does make sense.

It was beyond OTT and cringe-worthy , i was a bit disappointed by the execution but then they had to publicly shame Harshad and Navya for the storyline and parallels. Just the teeth clenching and the whole acting was so overdone. Veebha was out of sorts here. Nandini stole the show even then, which says a lot. Turmeric in Carbonara, told you. 😆

It was a consensual, mutual decision, Navya cannot hold him responsible, he didn't promise her marriage or anything. She was too naive and silly to think that this will hold him in her life for eternity.But yes she can sue his ass and put him in jail for trying to illegally abort, actually she should do that and get that hospital license cancelled. I'm just super-impressed that she actually figured it all out on her own, expecting anything more would be pushing it.

It would be an interesting sequence and might give all the girls to shine in this track, but I hope for no more OTT and restrain. Hope she makes a sensible choice. Amen to that sistah.

Genuine kostin- What is Hinduism's stance on abortion?

I'm not talking legality (upto 20 weeks AOG is legal in India), I'm asking morally.. are there any religious connotations to 'killing an unborn fetus' etc. or is it not considered 'live' until birth?

@13th - Hinduism as a religion and as a teaching is very abstract and wide, it lets you make your life choices. Scriptures differ from one another and arguments can be quoted or referenced from both sides. What I think they aim t say is , foetus is life because it has soul, so it is a sin to kill it under most circumstances , but then given the timeframe when these texts were written , I doubt teen pregnancy was looked as it is in today's time. Then children were pretty much married in their teens, or promised to each other during the childhood, so circumstances were different.Also motherhood was seen to be the future for every girl. Different world back then.

IS RIDA HERE?

Genuine Kostin, do I even need to make a post? It won't be worth it coz Rida already has said all that I felt.

I also wanted to talk about that little Manik-Abhimanyu moment and how subtle it was, and exactly why Abhimanyu should not die just so he can be a friend for Nandini.

@Genie: If we're talking about the 'Gita' perspective of Hinduism, then that is not moralizing or rigid at all.. all actions are contextual in their rightness or wrongness even 'murder' (since the soul is immortal et al)
