Could also be a father... Its is usually said that a daughters best friend is her mother... But 2dy it was beautifully shown that a father could also be his daughters best friend, Gayatri was confused with her feeling towards ranaji, n she needed sum1 2 help her clear the bubble in her mind, n in such situations u usually u speak 2ur mother or sister n Gayatri has no sisters so she would have gone 2 her mother but no she went to her father who I truly believe is her best friend as well... Dis scene was so beautifully played out by both actors 👏 👏 👏 ... CVs have given father daughter a beautiful bond...(totally love it)
