I'm sorry if I offended anyone with my earlier post where I had this sentence:
"But damn Arya looks like she could be Imarti's and HS' daughter."
I was being lazy and didn't qualify my sentence when typing on my phone. It's in reference to what I was saying a while ago to Gur about the kid chosen to play Arya looking a bit like Roshni.
In no way do I mean she's Imarti's child. If at all she has the bravado that Imarti has (I don't know because I'm not watching the show) then it's been passed on to her via HS and not directly from Imarti.
Also, when HS said Minnie didn't take after either of her biological parents but after Imarti, it was a figure of speech anyway. He's attached to Minnie because of how thinks and behaves, which reminds him a lot of Imarti. When HS said early in the show that he wanted to see an Imarti in every woman (or something along those lines) he meant he wanted that fighting spirit. Minnie had it, and it makes sense that they'd both want Arya to be that way.
As for Babita's hand in Minnie turning out the way she is, well there was an episode where Babita tells HS that she's looking for a job and where she berates herself for being stupid and not smart like Minnie, following which HS points out that Minnie turned out this way because Babita instilled that confidence in her. They were mirror images. This is the essence of their relationship. Nobody is a perfect parent, but with a person like Babita it is quite clear that despite her flaws and mistakes, there's no doubt she loves Minnie a lot and will want what's best for her. Her thought process and route for getting there is different to Minnie's, hence some of the clashes, but her intention is never in question.
