I agree. He was wrong to accuse Minnie of such a thing but he reacted without thinking clearly. He connected the wrong dots together and came to the wrong conclusion.
she will slowly understand that she is not a relation that babita associates with ashok or the khuranas. she has never actually seen how hurt her babes was, because babita never opened up to her daughter, probably because she felt that this would taint the relation mini has with the khuranas. even when babita was talking to mini after sending ashok back to london she fell asleep. so mini was caught off guard.
Yeahh, the way Babes is constantly releasing all these negative emotions is surprising Minnie a lot. In a way, this is what she had always wanted, but I think the level of it is what's shocking her the most. Matlab itna zeher or takleefein chupa kar rakhi thi Babes ne. It'll take time even for her to get used to Babes being her true self.
The precap- the idea behind the rice grains is that the bride now leaves behind her own house and relations, but she will still remember them, but now her husbands home is her true home. she will take her old relations with her in her heart but now they are no longer the priority they were before marriage.
Also, daughters are considered to be the manifestation of Goddess Lakshmi. Her being in the house is a sign of wealth and prosperity. When the daughter gets married and leaves her parents’ house, she throws back rice to reassure them. It means that despite leaving behind her home, she will continue to pray for their material and spiritual prosperity. And its usually the parents and brothers who collect those rice grains.
mini collecting the rice grains symbolises that she does not believe that she will be a part of the new family. and neither babita nor HS saw this. no one stopped her. so basically, now from mini's POV, while babes still loves her, HS will become more important and she will not be as close to babita as she was.
Out of all the rituals during a wedding, this is the most heart breaking one. it symbolises that a girl is now leaving behind her old relations to form new ones.
as per some old traditional saying it also symbolises that whatever love, care, happiness the daughter got from her maayka, she is now returning it to them. whatever she has taken is being returned.
Thanks for explaining the meaning behind the rice ritual! It puts things into a whole new, saddening perspective.
Aahh, all I can wish is for is peace, love and prosperity for these three post marriage. <3
