I would love there to be a track about her working towards calling him bapu but hope it will be natural without seeming forced, or maybe she will just say it out loud without realizing, stunning everyone. I can't wait to see the look on his face. I was hoping for dad vs. dad but if Ashok isn't returning to the show then it means there needs to be some kind of trigger for her to get there. Right now she is quite comfortable calling him Uncle, and he doesn't seem to mind. You know what would be interesting? If for the first time, instead of prioritizing giving her space and letting things go at her pace and comfort, he asks for something for his own self, that she calls him bapu or father or something. Does she have to call him Bapu? It just doesn't sound like something a modern kid like Mini would call her father....I know everyone wants to find Imarti parallels with everything but I hope Mini calls him something else....whatever it is that is uniquely their own...like she's given Babita a unique name with Babes.....something special for Hanuman too. I like your idea about Hanuman ASKING for this....asking that she call him her father by whatever name she decides....but kuch apna sa.....that would be a nice touch. Ashok doesn't need to come back to the show as a trigger.....woh toh Mini can be triggered by anything around her....seeing other kids with their father or something. This is why I love this show, that you continue to solve problems while staying together instead of working to make everything ok and then getting married to have a happily ever after. There is no such thing - relationships take work whatever stage in life you are at. As long as the foundation on which they build is the right one - both love each other and are basically good people - the rest will follow. They can strengthen the foundation over time through various experiences and growing to love, respect, and understand each other more and more. Wordđ....I'm so so SO glad we have a show exploring relationships like this....and dekho, when you explore life like this, there is SO much story to tell...dekhte dekhte 200 epis ho gaye without any gimmicks....cuz life itself is such a rich story, if you actually tell it with thoroughness, you can tell a nice long one. Tell me about it... Those were the golden days... I really hope PB encourages other skeleton amazing writers to come to the fore and show us what they can do with their craft. LOL other writers are too busy writing only to collect paychecks....I'm just happy for now atleast ONE set of writers/producers have shown the will to go forth like this. But yes, it would be nice if others take heart from this and give us more content on TV.
