Basically HS and Minni knows that HS said her as his daughter to assure Babita in the day of pooja... It was only for that day
But it's not true that the dint had that father daughter feeling in other moments thats why Minni said that at a point of time boundary was blurred and she thought him as her father and that's where she said jaisa baap waisi beti and all and her standing for him in imarti track and all... That was not at all to show Babita it was solely for them....
And even HS felt her as his own daughter when she was hospitalized and the other incidents that came up after that... Nothing was for Babita except the pooja one... The rest everything was only them HS and Minni the father daughter...
Abbi bhi wahi hota agar CD fiasco nahi hota....
After that now he still feels Minni doesn't consider him as his father that's why he said to Babita that he tried being her father but it work out....
And Minni is so hurt that he needs proof to trust her and thinks he just says it but doesn't mean it....
Chahte ek hi hai dono but won't speak out....
And Babita wants everything normal how it was before CD fiasco.. And for that she is making things more worse... It will take sometime for them to again have the same equation... She have to be patience in this....
Nothing was fake.... It's just the twisted thing which most of us don't notice it... Writer don't change anything... Of u so that episode where NB says HS that Babita want you fully not the half of you... And give her full HS or just don't give any expectations....thats when he comes to Pooja and says himself as minni father.... It does means it was for Babita not for. Minni... In the previous discussion with NB the was also Babita but Minni.... Babita needed assurance from him not Minni and Minni does understand that.... But it doesn't means that he never felt like a father to. Her... He does felt... Only the pooja thing was for Babita but the rest of Hannie be being was just for them...
