Yes. He did feel victorious. Somewhere, he knew he'd been a great father. He had that confident and proud look. When Babita talked of leaving, his eyes dropped. I feel he had never expected she'd do that, yet he couldn't lash about it cause he wanted that. I could see defeat and disappointment in his eyes, but that was quickly filled with love for Mini.
When she came down and said like father like daughter, he was actually smiling. :)
It still amazes me how his bond with Minnie developed, how he has always been sure of his place in her life and vice versa, and how he has always managed to have that authority over her (a la the famous countdowns), and most importantly her trust from day 1. There was never any question about it.
He was so touched when she said jaise baap waise beti and yes, such a proud father in that moment. I love the way the CVs have been building this bit by bit since the beginning so that it seems so natural right now that they would be father-daughter. I just can't get over these two and the beautiful moments we get to see between them. I think most daughters can relate to this.
There are two things left for me (I know I'm being greedy): the day she calls him papa/bapu and when she tells him she can't live without him (I feel there will come a time when Babita will leave the house some point in the future). She won't be able to choose between her parents so easily then.
I know life partners play an important role, but the feeling of love that you get from your child is immeasurable and incomparable. He loves her more than he does Babita, by his own admission and I can only imagine that growing by leaps and bounds because of Minnie's stance. I will also say that any frustration I had with Minnie in the previous track when she was fighting with him, has since been wiped out because she has been superb of late.
