U think if mini had tried to keep good equations with ashok or tried to speak to him babita would not have thrown a tantrum or got insecure. Also mini made it all about babes and babita allowed her to do it. Even Ashok was like, babita has more rights on mini and mini anyway dint give him any rights so he dint try.
And babita still hasn't realised that mini needs closure on it. She still keeps saying your papaji or ashok (whatever she addresses him as )cheated me. She never says he was not a father to you he hurt you too. She actually still wants mini to hate ashok for what he did to her. During a divorce generally both parents try and maintain their spouses relation with their child and do not bad mouth them. But here in this case neither ashok did nor babita. And this is what happens if a mother makes children fight her battles initially. It never paves the way for a healthy relationship with their father. Dosent help that ashok was a very bad father who hit mini and never supported her and literally left her with nothing to fend. But most of ashoks hate for mini was also because she completely supported babita.
Babita has always been insecure though and I understand why. She was freshly divorced and despite having a place to live in, she was in an extremely unstable situation. The only security she did feel was with Minnie. If the Khuranas made claim on her and Minnie wished to stay back with them, then what would Babita do? Minnie has always been her constant support. Agar wohi ni rahegi, toh phir woh toh toot hi jaati.
In Babita's case, she does have a greater claim to Minnie though since she's the one who's always been there, not Ashok. If Minnie has lingering issues with Ashok, then she needs to speak up about it otherwise Babita will never know. As much as people want her to be, she is not a mind reader. No one in the world is. Whichever way she will react, at least Babita will know that there is still a lot of knots that need to be addressed in Minnie's life in that area.
She already knows that fatherhood is something that she missed out on as a child and hence wanted HS to be the father that she never had. But if Minnie herself doesn't want that and is just putting on an act, then how is that Babita's fault?
