I agree with Mickey's part though...Preet would be hurt, but maybe the relationship actually does work out... which I think would be a great way to show Minnie that not all 'imperfect' men are actually bad or turn out to be like Ashok. Some imperfect men can also be good partners.
I also agree with the fact that Bobby still needs to go a long way before Minnie and he can end up together...
I think Minnie as of now needs to see different kinds of men. She needs to understand that men or people are just not black or white but shades of grey. And Mickey and Preet's relationship is a great way to show her some greyness... she was so sure the relationship would end, I would like to see Preet and Mickey fight and makeup... and their relationship actually working out...
But why does Minnie even needs to be in a relationship... Instead, I would love to see Babita and HS giving her wings... In the very first episode, they showed Minnie wanting to be travel photographer, wanting to travel the world... but then things happened and she gave up on her dreams and instead gave her mother's wings... I now want to see Babita returning the favour. I want HS and Babita to secure Minnie so much that she can actually travel the world or at least travel India...
Minnie's love story can start during her travels or when she returns. If it has to be Bobby, then he can meanwhile finish school and get a job and 'grow a spine' :) plenty of time...
But I think before any of that to happen, there is still so so so much to show. Both Minnie and Babita need to find the right balance in their personalities, find security and trust in their new relationships, and Minnie needs to follow her dreams...

Totally agree. They said this was just the beginning, and the way the characters have been written with so many layers gives them scope to explore many dimensions. I also agree that it's healthy for Minnie to see the entire spectrum instead of looking at things as black or white. She's a good kid at heart but needs a bit more encouragement and guidance. I also think the day she is confident that Babes is in good hands with HS, or some other guy, or even Babes herself. She will have to learn to let go of her mother a little bit, otherwise they both will be suffocated.
I want Minnie to start thinking about her future as well, but for now I understand that she wants things to be stable on the home front. She needs to learn that she cannot focus only on her Babes. Her mother will have to make some decisions and take her own steps - this will also be a great learning for Minnie.
