HS-Mini: Pata nahin kaunse janam ki preet hai - Page 9

This....this is exactly what it seems to be. There is an element of self-flagellation that just seems impossible for him to overcome. The irony is that he wanted Babita to overcome her sense of victimization and empower herself but when it came to himself, he also couldn't rise above this martyrdom and low self-esteem he's drowned himself in? 😕.....Dusron ko gyaan baant diya but khud ke liye same gyaan doesn't apply? Mini rightly pointed out many times that he finds it easier to dispense gyaan than follow it himself....he kinda needed Mini ki khari baatein many times for this to be pointed out to him.

Yes, I do think he feels he's come between mother-daughter in some ways but the writers unfortunately have not consistently followed up on that line of thought....it's very vague and open to interpretation....all they keep falling back on over and over again is HS being shown to supposedly only want Mini around to maintain the stability of his relationship with Babita. They again made him look like a selfish coward in the scene with NB.....the way they make him mouth these lines about "mera aur makaanmaalkin ji ka rishta bhi effect ho jaayega if Mini leaves" just sounds so disappointingly selfish.....Ah well, I need to ignore that scene for my sanity if I want to get closure on season 1 and remember the original HS.

@bold... yes, I think he always wanted mother and daughter to overcome their weaknesses in ways that he knew he couldn't. That's one thing I always appreciate about HS. He knows where he falls short, what his flaws and limitations are. It's a shame that in giving mother-daughter wings, he himself forgot to fly.

Yeah the last few scenes have been vague and I will also ignore them as bloopers so that I can retain a sense of completeness in HS' character arc.

Today's epi was a mixed bag.....what I got from Babita's character is a state of emotional paralysis.....especially in the bit when she's sitting on the stairs and constantly looking up towards the barsaati with this tadap in her body language for Mini.

Even the morning scene of her entering the room, yearning to wake Mini up, talk to her, hug her, but ultimately still holding back.....I think Paridhi performed that really well......one does feel really sad for the loss of the mother-daughter relationship in that moment.

But ultimately Babita wasn't able to overcome her emotional paralysis and ego to take those few steps towards her daughter.....she DEMANDED, she ORDERED, she THREATENED......the one thing she didn't do was express her love for Mini......that was all it would have taken for Mini to forget everything and come back to her mom.

I have to say, despite what many think about the writers hating her character, they still gave poignant scenes to Babita today as well.....despite the hiccups in execution, they do have a larger point to make about what happens when people are so overcome by hurt, ego or in other cases, by lack of courage that they aren't able to salvage their relationships despite the immense love between them.

Now the mess is too great and the fault lines have hardened too much to be overcome in the last stretch.

Precap seems like Babita will lose the opportunity to say goodbye in the last stretch also because of her anger and ego.....while HS will just remain on the side trying to atleast give Mini one last smile gesture of support.

It was not a bad episode but my breaks for all of them at the moment, even for Babita...Paridhi was actually good today...gosh I hope atleast HS comes forward and gives Mini a hug for the last time, no one deserves to leave their own home in that way and to think of it, she might never see them again 😭💔

when mini was struggling to get the big suitcase down the stairs i was reminded of the hospital sequence where she was too weak to climb the stairs and HS picked her up and took her. This time he just watched her struggle with it.

I wonder if he is going to stay rooted to that place he is standing behind the center table near the sofa even as mini goes off.🤔

Yeah, I wondered why he didn't move but I think he too was paralyzed, just like he was as a child.

I would hope he hugs her too or that she runs back to him for one last hug like she would have in the past. 😭

Very well said. This is exactly it.

I just don't buy HS' inaction at this point. It's too much of a stretch and feels contrived.

Maybe this was all part of him following NB’s advice of letting Mini swim on her own rather than trying to save her🤷‍♀️

You’re still hoping for a hug? Lol you’re expecting too much now, Jean.

Yes, I don’t think he’s going to move from where he’s standing. He will do the smile gesture from a distance and that will be the end of it.

Yeah but dropping her off at the airport won't prevent her from learning to swim.

But why???? It doesn't make any sense!!

We won't even get to see what happens to him after she leaves. 😡
