Minnie had once asked Babita to remove the Chadda and Khurana surname and dig deep into herself to find out who she really is. Take away the shackles that those surnames provide and learn who Babita is. Then, once upon finding that woman, live out the rest of her life as her. Be Babita without any shame or guilt. Make her own decisions without worrying about what others would think. Craft an identity so unique that no one would dare to question her value anymore.

What Minnie had failed to understand was that Babita finds comfort and security in having a surname attached to her. The Chadda surname gave her a family. The Khurana surname gave her protection. The Singh surname is giving her love and pride.

There is nothing wrong in wanting a surname whether it's your maiden or marital. It's value is dependent on what you make of it, not others.

Minnie, finding shame in the Khurana surname, had legally changed it so that she can call herself Minnie Babita. At the time she had felt immense pride in her Babes for she was carving out an independent name for herself. Given Babita's actions now, does that pride still apply? Or has the Babita surname become meaningless now? What is the value of Babita as a name in Minnie's life?

Ironically, Minnie had encouraged Babita to shed Chadda and Khurana so that she can create an identity just for herself. Yet, by taking on Babita as a surname, Minnie has linked her own personal identity to Babes.

Minnie's transition from Minnie Khurana to Minnie Babita didn't eliminate the relations that were already bestowed upon her through blood. The same concept applies to HS. He is incredibly proud of his grandfather and yet harbors a deep resentment for his father. Despite this, as Naeem Bi had once pointed out, when it comes to proclaiming himself, HS always links himself to both his grandfather and father. Regardless of the trauma that was inflicted on him by his father, HS still keeps him alive whenever he links himself to him. In HS' case, Singh isn't just a surname. It's a very complicated history filled with very complicated characters. As far as we know, the only remaining survivor of the Singh family is HS. Otherwise, everyone related to him by blood are dead.

By Minnie questioning Babita's decision to attach the Singh surname to herself, she is in a way rejecting HS and his family. She doesn't want him or his personal history to be attached to them in any way. I can understand Minnie not wanting Babita to completely lose her own identity, but the manner in which she brought the fact forward in yesterday's precap was very rude and tasteless. She could have had this discussion in private rather than questioning Babita right in front of HS about it.

I hope the episode itself handled the matter better.

Let's see what today's episode has in store for us.

Hope you all enjoy. <3

Update:

  • HS tells Babita that the role of a housewife isn't taken too seriously when it should be since it's not easy. Personally, he likes having to come home to a beautiful wife and eating a warmly cooked meal made by her.
  • He asks about where Minnie is just when she arrives. He tells her to join them but Minnie tells them that she already ate Naeem Bi's.
  • Babita isn't happy and tells HS how Minnie has started to do this a lot now. Before, she used to be so excited to eat her food and now she doesn't. HS tells her to relax and not stress over it. It's fine for her to do this at her age and just be with her friends.
  • Minnie sees the ration card where in Babita's name is written and gets mad.
  • She questions Babita as to what it is. HS tries to laugh it off saying that it's a ration card and explains to her what it is. Minnie tells him she's referring to what's written on the inside. How Babita's name is written under the spouse section. HS tells her obviously it'll be written there. Where else would it be? Minnie is still upset. HS tells her that she's actually upset because her name wasn't included. He explains how it's a technical problem and that because Minnie is now 18, HS can't legally adopt her.
  • Minnie tells Babita that her name is written as Mrs. Babita Singh. She goes on to tell her how they had both decided that they won't be tied down to any surname, whether it was Chadda or Khurana. Minnie asks HS that he too had supported them in this matter.
  • Babita interferes telling Minnie to talk to her about this matter, not HS. She questions Minnie as to how she can compare the Khurana surname with HS'. Ashok betrayed her while HS has truly loved her. Minnie argues how the matter isn't about love, but rather one's identity and she's getting both of them confused.
  • Babita argues how it is about love and that once you love someone truly then you want to associate yourself with them in every which way. Minnie argues that true love is about finding oneself, not losing.
  • Babita points out how that until she found about Ashok's truth, Minnie used to very proudly use the Khurana surname. Minnie says how she was a kid at that point and she didn't understand things. But in the past year, she has grown a lot. Also, since then she has learnt that she can have her own value and identity without the Khurana surname and that's why she dropped it.
  • Minnie mentions how they were in this together and how this second marriage was conducted to break the stupid norms of society. There used to be a time when Babita's only identity was being Ashok's wife. But she broke out of that and became independent and made Minnie so proud. Now she has just changed her surname from Ashok's to HS', so what's the difference?
  • Babita tells her that she doesn't want to argue with her anymore. She asks her if she's allowed to make her own choice or decisions or not? She tells her that she's Mrs. Singh, Mrs. Hanuman Singh and she always will be whether she likes it or not.
  • Minnie says that she can see that. She wanted to make her Babita from Mrs. Khurana but Babes is happy from going Mrs. Khurana to Mrs. Singh. She leaves saying she's very disappointed in her.
  • HS stops her, wanting to know what her problem is. According to her being a Khurana and a Singh is the same thing. Minnie agrees. Babita questions as to how she can compare the two families. There's Ashok's family who betrayed her and never supported her. She's about to mention HS' family but Minnie stops her saying that in his family a husband kept beating his wife until she died and no one did anything to prevent it. She asks HS if she's wrong and if there's any difference between the two families.
  • Babita is about to slap Minnie but HS stops her. HS says how he didn't know that she hated his family that much. Minnie says that she doesn't but HS doesn't believe her. He asks her if she has that much of a problem with him. Minnie says it's not a matter of having a problem. She mentions how much she loves and respects him but again he doesn't believe her. She goes on to say it's a matter of surnames. She doesn't want to disrespect his family either and asks him not to misunderstand her for that. She's saying that there are good and bad people in all families but that doesn't mean you paint them all with the same stroke. Moreover, HS' technique of glorifying his own family while putting down hers is weak.
  • Minnie asks Babita not to justify herself as she'll put forth one argument and she'll have a counter for it. Besides, if she has already made her own decision, then she can't do anything about it. Everyone's free to make their own decisions.
  • In her room, Minnie is blasting music and exercising. Babita comes, wanting to speak to her. Minnie isn't in the mood.
  • They once again talk about the value of their identities.
  • Babita tells Minnie how they have to live in society and follow its customs. Minnie is annoyed by her point. Babita asks her if she feels happy following these customs then why shouldn't she? Minnie questions her and if this society doesn't give her happiness then? For that matter, she shouldn't have gotten married the second time around since that went against the norm. She thought that she was giving Babita her own identity and asks her if this was her idea of personal identity.
  • Babita asks her if she has a problem with her being Mrs. Hanuman Singh. Minnie tells her that she does. She has problem with Babita being just Mrs. Hanuman Singh. She mentions how everyone she knows is impressed and inspired by her courage of going against society and getting a divorce. And now she's lost again.
  • Babita disagrees. She's not lost. All the struggles she went through were because of her helplessness. If Ashok hadn't betrayed her, then she would never have been in this spot. And the fact of the matter is that HS is in her life now, not Ashok. Moreover, she's happy being his wife.
  • Minnie asks her if she should consider that everything they've done so far was for nothing?
  • Babita tells her she shouldn't be saying such things and that when she gets married, then she'll ask her. Minnie tells her to do so gladly. Whenever that time comes, Minnie promises that she would never compromise or lose her own identity in the process. She tells Babes not to say anything else since she won't be convinced by it.
  • Babita tells her the same so stop trying. Minnie agrees to disagree and walks away.
  • Lala tells HS he should have scolded and punished Minnie, then she would've learnt her lesson. He mentions how Minnie has gone after Ashok, not Babita. HS corrects him saying she has actually gone after Imarti since she too would talk so frankly and today she showed him the mirror.
  • He questions if Babita is actually losing her identity since getting married? Has she forgotten how hard her daughter worked to make her stand on her own two feet? He also wonders if his love has ended up becoming her enemy.
  • Precap: Minnie asks Babita if she has a fever. Babita tells her that she's fine. Minnie tells her that she'll get her a tablet and then she'll take her to the doctor's. Babita says that she can't take the tablet because she's keeping the Karwa Chauth fast. Minnie questions her so what? Babita tells her that wives keep this fast for the longevity of their husband's life and nothing can go wrong in it. Minnie still can't understand and says how it's just a tablet. Saroj says that she can't take the tablet since she'll need to take water for it.

Also, how is she still like Imarti? From whatever little we have seen of Imarti, I really doubt she would have been this rude to him.

Idk. Regardless of what HS thinks or feels, I have a strong feeling, I'm not going to like today's episode at all.
