Mini might have guided Babita ever since they left K house but she is far very far from being a mother to Babita at any point.. she was the guiding light but not every guidance we get is from mother..
She might have had to be an adult at various times but she has also made mistakes a kid would make.. for instance getting shoes for Babita missing college test . And she rightly got scolded for that by Babita.. if Babita was as self absorbed and selfish as you guys claim, she wouldnt have created a ruckus at Mini's step.. she wouldn't have stood against Meeta when Mini was called poisonous.. she wouldn't have supported Mini in college without any proof.. she wouldn't have stood against Ashok when Mini wanted to change her surname or when Ashok wanted them to take the case back against Sunny
Babita always stood up when it was about Mini.. whether it was against Dadu, Meeta or Ashok.. when Babita filed a case against her harraser, it was because she wanted to set a good example for her daughter.. if she went ahead with her divorce proceedings, it was because she saw that Mini was getting affected.. if she decided to throw the mangalsutra away, it was because she saw how traumatized Mini was because of Ashok's comments.. if she did not acknowledge her feelings for Hanuman initially, it was because she was worried about Mini's reaction.. if she decided to swallow her pride and accept her feelings to Hanuman, it was because she saw the bond she shared with Hanuman.. when she found out Mini needed her grandparents, she did not let her ego stop her and went to them to seek help.. when the psychiatrist told her Mini needed to feel that Babita cannot survive without her, she let her.. Babita has always been a mother to Mini.. just because she cares what people think or she falters at some instances, it does not take away from the fact that Babita has always put Mini and only Mini first
Iirrespective of how seemingly wise kids are, there is a boundary between parents and kids that shouldn't be crossed.. despite all the attention on Babita's so called ego, not once have we seen Babita being egoistic and refusing to acknowledge what Mini is saying is right eventually.. Babita fid not let her do called ego stop her from apologizing to Mini in various instances.. when has Mini apologized to Babita for speaking rudely to her?
Babita and Mini share a deep bond that stems from their past loneliness, their struggles, their trials.. Hanuman-Mini bond does not hold a candle to it.. yes.. Babita might have drawn a wedge between Mini and herself due to her recent actions, even in this case, in her mind, she is doing what is right for her daughter.. she might not be right but she still wants to do what she thinks is right for her daughter
