Isn’t Mini too rude - Page 2

This is based on what we are seeing in Patiala Babes not what happens outside in Society which Is much worse.

We have Child abuse, Sexual and Physical abuse. Which is not portrayed in Mini case to explain her rudeness and no respect for her elders etc but would say that She had Bullying and taunts from her School friends and neighbour's etc. Everyone one knew that it was not right but the Khuranas and Babita did not see it in that way.

They parents had visions of there Son earning money and supporting them and Babita taking care of them but they all forgot Mini the Child carving for her Father's love and instead they have feed the imaginary Father figure for her based on her Grand Parents vision of a dutiful Son and a romantic Vision of Ashok from Babita. But when reality came infront of her, it broke her mentality.

She has had Depression and anger issues in the previous episodes but they have dismissed them as Mini is a brave child etc instead of correcting her wrong behaviour they have pampered her instead.

Babita was too busy playing the ideal Bhua that she forgot that her Child is pinning for a Father's love and instead of correcting her, she has pampered her instead. Hence She never corrects or scolds her but only slaps and shouts at her when it effects her directly.

I will go as far in saying that she is Ashok daughter in her temperament and anger issues. This has been shiwn as well when her Grand Parents say that She is like Ashok and encouraged her instead of correcting her.

There is a very thin line in being strong and rude and is easily crossed.

I completely agree! Being rude and outspoken ALL the time does equate to being strong and independent. I hate that the characters in the show applaud her for it. That’s not someone people should aspire to be like.

Of course she’s been through a lot and some of her behavior is justifiable, but being strong and independent never means your rude to others. You stand up for yourself, but you don’t need to pick a fight with everyone. You don’t need to be angry or rude to be strong.

I feel like Mini is shown to argue, be rude, pick fights with others when it’s absolutely not necessary in an attempt to show her as a “strong” girl. I would go as far as to claim that Babita is actually stronger and more independent than Mini is. She doesn’t pick, at least for the most part, unnecessary fights with people, but she does stand up for herself when it’s necessary.

Silence is often times better than words. You don’t need to tell people how to treat you. You SHOW people how you want to be treated. If, of course, someone oversteps their boundaries, you gracefully show them their place.

I’m glad you posted this because Mini’s character is so unrealistic to me, and I hate that people in the show are aspiring to be like her. I feel the writers have this whole being strong and independent thing all wrong.

Thanks..actually sometimes i feel that this forum might be helpful in reaching out to the producers. Maybe they can try to understand how ppl think. In this case it becomes extremely important. As the way Minni speaks is as you said unrealistic. This does not happen in a normal household. If a kid regularly speaks this way they are not glorified but shouted at and if that does not happen parents are doing a grave mistake. in this serial by showing Babita an ideal housewife and she praising Mini all the time we are setting a bad example. Mini’s tone itself is as if she is the boss. Babita is a quiet person but not dumb so why does she require support 24/7. Noone shouts at Mini even if she is wrong. This needs to change and it is important that they show her to be a normal kid not one who is 40 years elder than her age.

This show started off with a real taboo plaguing many parts of India. A husband marrying a girl in India and then abandoning her, going abroad and doing all wrongful things. This concept was the only truly realistic part of the show.

Babita is somewhat realistic but a lot fictional too.

As for Mini, I think with each passing episode, the character has become unrealistic, typical itv kind.

To makers I will say, I get that you all are trying to show that when women like Babita suffer at the hands of monsters like Ashok, the kids are most affected. Sometimes these kids have to grow up fast. So you all made Mini grow up and somehow become a "mother" to her own mother. Fine. I get this part too.

What I don't get is MIni going overboard with everything. No, she is not exactly a victim of physical abuse or mental abuse. In fact, her grandparents and her mother pampered her too much to the point where they kept her in a bubble of fantasy. A fantasy about an ideal father, family, etc. So yes, when that bubble burst, she reacted. So she became the support of her mother.

But those who live in India , can you tell me in which workplace does a minor child goes and does all negotiations about salary etc like they showed Mini doing at the garment factory? I know it was not allowed in the 90s. A person is not allowed to take anyone inside the interview room here in USA. I am pretty sure it is the same in India too. But makers went overboard.

Then Mini sometimes being rude to HS and Naem bi does not come in good light either. There are many times she simply behaved very badly with HS. What if HS had thrown them out of his haveli? Did she think about that? So what did the makers show? HS is angel and hence she does not mind. For a show that boasts of realistic concept, isn't this highly unrealistic? I get that Babita is scared to lose Mini. But that does not mean she cannot correct her when she is wrong. It was again HS who told MIni she was wrong and needs to apologize.

I get that today's teens are not so docile like we were in the 90s. I am not saying they have to be obedient when they are asked to do wrong things. Nope. But "showing respect" is lacking in today's generation. And that's a fact. I am a mother too and my kids are bit younger than Mini. I try to correct them everytime I see them crossing the line. Makers are going overboard with MIni just for the sake of drama. Just like they are going overboard with Ashok's wickedness.

Just my opinion.

i agree with all the points u guys formulated about minni's character in the show . sadly in their pattern to show minni confident & strong they ended up giving her some her permanent flaws .

only hanuman singh & sometimes mikky...😆 managed to curb some of her impudence at times .
