Hanuman did not shower love on Mini to impress Babita.
He never said that. He just said that he called himself her father on Pooja day to assure Babita.
But He loves Mini. His assurance to Babita doesn’t take anything away from His Love for Mini!
Assuring Babita and His love for Mini are two separate things.
Just coz he wanted Babita for himself and fell for her without Mini being in the picture, doesn’t make him the bad guy. He was alone for 7-8 years. Coming to an empty haveli, living in darkness and loneliness, there’s nothing wrong if he desired companionship. If he fell attracted towards Babita, it’s still makes him human. I found his confession really honest and real.
We keep expecting Babita to not be guilty of her wants and desire, shouldn’t the same apply to Hanuman? Why should he be guilty for falling for Babita before he considered Mini, his daughter. It just doesn’t meet up with the narrative that members here running with, Hanuman wanted to marry Babita to keep Mini, and that’s the disappointment.
