It takes me back to the scene where Babita had told Minnie that she had tolerated eveything for her. It was labelled off as her trying to bounce it off so that her ego isn't hurt, but now I'm thinking otherwise. If Babes was truly egoistic, then why didn't it speak up in those 17 years? Now that it finally has the chance to do so, she's being villainized?
In some ways, her actions were wrong, like making HS apologize in a demeaning way or asking him to prove his love for her in a public setting, but she'll learn how to articulate herself with time. After years of being kept silent, she's finally speaking up. I say, let her.
babita never said those words in her ego. what she said is true. women usually bear all treatment for their children, specially daughters, since it is more difficult to raise a daughter than a son in this society.
she has an ego, everyone does. she probably never spoke up before, because they were her in laws and she had een taught that after marriage husband is everything, so she tolerated everything for mini and ashok. she clealy said it to ashok when she spoke up to him in the starting episodes.
even when she asked for an apology, it was not for her ego. she wanted the assurance that HS would always choose her with all her flaws. and HS understood that somewhat after calming down. babita could have put it into words in a better manner, but for someone who hasa not spoken in 17 years of marriage and then ahd to face so much will need time to understand how to put across her words.
she is finally speaking up, sometimes without thinking of how the other person will react. and that is good. she needs to learn to speak up and she will have to face the situations that arise because of that as well, but she will.
thats what we face in real life.
