But whether the second parent for Mishti should have been Kunal is debatable given his past history. As far as Ishaan is considered, he is a father figure for Mishti that's understood. But he is not the father yet. One may have father figures in our life inspite
of having a real father and it can be more than 1. Ishaan s relationship with Mishti has been independent of Mauli and he doesn't have to marry Mauli for it. If Ishaan really loves Mishti he can be a father figure even if Mauli marries someone else, I don't mean Kunal here.
I do believe at this point Mauli can take a decision for Mishti independently . It's her right.
P. S. Kunal May have some rights too. But currently Ishaan has none.
