@bold, and they both know it. No matter what anyone else thinks, his reaction, his words, and his approach to the whole thing made him more a father than anything else he has done: he put his child and her happiness and wellbeing first, her needs first. He said heroes don't cry and I don't know why but I got the feeling that Minnie finally saw her hero in him again. I don't know if she'll reverse this opinion because of the letter but something tells me she won't. HS is unlikely to agree with Babita burning the letter or quoting Saroj's words (he should just ban her from the haveli).
I can dissect the hell out of this scene. The dialogues had so many layers to them. HS was talking about transparence on both sides but clearly they both had stopped being 100% transparent with each other. I think it's also part of growing up. After a point you don't tell your parents everything, not because you don't love or trust them, but because your views on life change, or because you don't feel you can communicate with them as you did when you were younger. Parent-child bonds also evolve over time. Also, when he talked about Babita missing her and breaking down if Minnie left, it almost felt as if he was talking about himself there. Again, woh baap hone ka haq nahin jata paaya to ask her to stay back for him - it's a different matter that he wouldn't ever stop her because as a father he wants her to succeed and do better in life.
What I will always hate is the way they made him behave out of character by accusing Minnie of the CD swap. They could have found many other ways of creating the same conflict, distance, etc. but they got lazy.
