Nope. It's not like child supporting parents is a new thing. My friend was the most educated person in her family and needles to say her parents always took her advice before any major decision. But she never bossed her parents the way Minnie does. Just like Minnie takes babita for job interview and goes for her own admission alone, she too managed her own studies on her own. But never have I ever seen her behaving the way Minnie does. Minnie's belief that somehow she's the mother of babita sounds bit arrogant to me, even though from bird's eye view it's true. Otherwise let's not forget Minnie can't even get up by herself and cook a decent meal at age of 18(let alone raising a kid at that age like babita did). Also Minnie's claim that she wiped babita's tears at age of 4 came off really arrogant. Many kids from broken family have to support their parent emotionally, it does feel like a burden to them too but they don't downplay parents struggle the way she did in that guilt trapping lecture.
Mini went for admission alone coz Babita had Job that day. She had to earn to feed them both. She had responsibilities.
And when she felt that Mini is lying about her admission and that something is not right, she asked Hanuman to go and check since she can’t coz she has to work for them.
She asked next best person apart from her who she can trust to go and check what’s the matter. If I would be at Babita’s place, I would turn to confidante to help out as I don’t have time. I just don’t see anything wrong with this. During Manmeet case, she went with Mini. During college admission form filling, she went with Mini. It’s not like she didn’t cared about her daughter’s admission. Mini didn’t do everything alone. Earlier both Babita and Hanuman stood by her.
It’s only recently writers have gone on a tangent to prove Mini can do anything and everything!
