HS knew that Babita wasn't ready for him. If he had enough time to think things through, I think he would have realized that she's not the woman for him. But Imarti's wounds were so fresh on him and on top of that he panicked, thinking that he would lose Minnie as well. Minnie, the only one who stood by him even when he lost trust in himself. Given what she did for him, how could he possibly let her go? The only one who can give him hope when all hope is lost?
It may be unfair to expect him to raise Minnie on his own, but frankly speaking, I think he has done a much better job of it than Babita has. Yes, she raised Minnie for 17 years, but in those years, has she really understood her daughter? Has she been the kind of mother that a daughter like her would need? Has she understood her loneliness, her fears, or her grief? There are some things that only she can understand as a woman, but there are many times where she has put Minnie under the bus for the sake of society. Whether it's Minnie's friendship or close association with Mickey, her physically defending herself, or not wanting to file a case when she was sexually bullied. Rather than understanding her daughter's plight and giving her the confidence to fight for her dignity and rights, she has taught her to duck her head and hide away. What good is that going to do for Minnie? It's different for HS since he's an adult man who happens to be a police inspector, but that doesn't stop him for instilling the right values in Minnie. Or encouraging her to fight for herself by filing the necessary complaints. Babita and he could have been wonderful as co-parents but given the mess they're in, it's just not possible.
I don't want him to be a bitter man. He had so many reasons to be one given his past history but he always came out as being a very optimistic and hopeful person. I don't want it all to go away because of Babita. And why would Babita oppose him being Minnie's father? Isn't that what she wanted?
Bear with me now as I'm about to throw a whole lotta caps at you.

This is the face of a man who has resigned himself to his fate. Who knows that he won't get what he wants out of this marriage so it's better to accept what he does have, whatever and however little that might be.
The closing away of the sindoor ki dhibbi scene will forever be on the top of my "Make Me Cry in a Second" list. It's just way too heartbreaking.
They all have made some horrendous mistakes so why should HS be punished so heavily? Just because people put him on such a high pedestal? That's not his fault. He never asked for them to treat him like a perfect being. He has repeatedly declared himself as a human being and he too, possesses all the qualities of one - good and the bad. The difference is that he continuously chooses to be good. He's fully aware of his actions and takes responsibility for them. I don't know why he's asked to give so many tests to prove his love when Babita isn't.
At this point, when the show ends, I want him to get his happy ending. Bas, mujhe aur kuch ni chahiye. Yeh Babita ke saath rahe ya na rahe, mujhe toh yeh bas khush hi chahiye. 😭
I love and hate you at this moment, @Gur for those caps. 🤗
It was the most heartbreaking thing ever to watch that scene when it first aired. I can't get over how I felt in that moment and every time after that when I rewatched it - one of the best pieces of acting Aniruddh has done on this show.
Yes, he panicked and said yes, even though until the day before he was about to let them walk out of his life forever no matter that his heart was breaking. He had not wanted to make any moves towards Babita and had assumed that if she wanted him she would give him some sign, so when she did he thought she had made up her mind about their relationship. I agree that Imarti's wounds being fresh also muddled his thoughts, and to this day I feel it's as dam waiting to burst.
Yes, he has done a great job in the few months. He has been able to see the major issues and guide her without expecting anything in return, and as he has said before, he grew attached to her in a short period of time. He may not be fixated on labels but he has been parenting her for a while now. Still, I don't think he can parent her alone - it's too much work and Minnie's scars also run deep.
Thanks for reminding me of all the incidents in Minnie's life that he's witnessed and stood by her for (which makes it even more impossible to accept the contrived CD fiasco). He has learned to be optimistic about the future and a lot of that has rubbed off on Minnie too. He was the one who changed her mind about love.
This cap... OMG... It hurts just looking at it, it brings up all the emotions I felt when I first watched that scenes. Those feelings are still raw inside me. The fact that a man like him who was looking out for so much and eagerly awaiting this new phase in his life, made to feel so unwanted and sidelined on what should have been a very special day in his life after ages, is just....

"The closing away of the sindoor ki dhibbi scene will forever be on the top of my "Make Me Cry in a Second" list. It's just way too heartbreaking."
This line of yours resonated with me... My heart breaks for him too... Uff! I agree, he chooses to fight his demons and not let it overcome his good, which is why seeing him resigned is hurting me so much.
Enough is enough! He should stop having to prove his love, and I'm really glad Minnie said that to him straight up. No, he didn't ask to be put on a pedestal and yes, he always says he is flawed.
I also want his happy ending, and I hope if no on else then at least his daughter is a part of the rest of his life. He deserves that much at least. As for Babita, no clue what the writers have planned, but ideally she grows and matures and even if she can't be emotionally as sensitive as he is, she can at least give him moral support and look for signs when he is worried or upset about things.
