Even HS is kind of making the mistake of presuming that if he made one mistake, he doesn’t know how to be a father anymore. He’s waiting for someone else to tell him that yes, he can still be a father....that it’s a journey, not an instant result.
He has to learn to be more forgiving of himself and still keep the intent to be a father going. Right now he’s acting like he is incapable of it. Not true. Try karne se hi pehle haar mat maano, Thanedaar ji.
I want him to get out of this mindset of failure. He really doesn’t seem to get his own capabilities here. Aur Mini ke father ek aap hi ho, HS ji. Phinal baat, no arguments.
@Bold - this is the saddest part about this whole situation. He seems defeated and his body language clearly says so too. I wish NB would talk to him about this because she knows him well enough and is wise enough to know how to motivate him again. Also, I would love for him to raise Minnie the way I guess NB raised him. It's like passing the torch on.
I absolutely loved what you said here:
It’s not about being a perfect father who can’t make mistakes. It’s about being a father, period.
He needs to stop chasing perfection and start chasing dreams, dreams of a bright future for their family, and especially for his Veer Balika, which would be incomplete without him playing the role of her dear father. I wish he would stop being so harsh on himself and thinking of himself as a failure, like his dad was.
This was the girl he gave up drinking for, and would give his life for if he had to. The raw materials are all there, they just need to be crafted.
