The writers were consistent in only one aspect in their show and that was the victimization and survival of Mini.. Baki sab, they kept changing to push this narrative😆 Be it Babita's approach to PB, Mini's future prospects or Hanuman's way of dealing with everything.. Everyone was changed to victimize Mini and they continue to do the same till date.. 😆

The reason people don't find it genuine is because they made babita and HS take U-turn on so many things. Babita in Holi track said that Minnie can't live with her forever and that Minnie will have her own life. Later on she took a U-turn on that. She also repeatedly asked Minnie to concentrate on studies in earlier episodes, later on U-turn on that as well. She also one said that she wanted to make Patiala babes a brand- U-turn on that as well. There are many more examples. And Minnie Hanuman had an amazing rapport, somehow never recovered after CD scandal.

These are gross inconsistencies in storyline. Every time babita, and sometimes Hanuman created new ruckus I was screaming WHY!!! cause it made no sense. In later episodes it was very much like Ekta Kapoor shows where super nice people become villains overnight .It's hard to like writers when they make a character do anything and everything- it suggests that they don't have a proper character in mind while writing for a story. The character is not driving a story, instead they're twisting the character to fit a storyline.

And currently writers are not doing any justice to Minnie either.

yes the turnarounds HS babita did in their character were because of the writers but that dosent change the fact that mini the character was let down by her own parents and wrongly treated. She went away feeling unloved and not needed and lived 5 years thinking that. though in season2 it was shown that her mother realised that she needed mini and wanted to make up to her she really never did that and mini lived 5 years of her life thinking no one really needed her.

One thing we can’t do is say that someone is overvictimising themselves. Everyone deals with things differently based on their own mental state (and we know she has had depressive episodes in the past). We can’t judge everyone by the same standards because everyone is different and processes things differently. There’s no right or wrong in the way a person feels, it’s THEIR reality. I will give you an eg.: the death of a parent/spouse or child- one person can get over it and another person could turn to drugs/alcohol or commit suicide. No two people are the same and the first mistake we make is to judge. It may not be a big deal for a parent forgetting a bday for 1 kid but for another it could be the worse thing ever. There’s no right or wrong as ppl don’t choose to feel how they do, it just happens


It’s easy to say be grateful, after all she had food to eat, clothes and a roof over her head but considering the relationship she had with her mother plus her own personal experiences (also depression), it’s not too much for her to expect more from her mother. Remember they always said “it’s you and I together against the world” and then suddenly this changed

👏

rightly said. for mini it was not even about her mother forgetting her b day. in the end it was about how she just saw her as a part of her biological father, a part which she fought with herself and the world to remove from it from herself. Such a big thing requires a clarification from the mothers part which babita never gave mini, not even in all the 5 years.

I personally think both mother and daughter had some form of mental health issue, either ptsd or some sort of personality disorder, but they did not explore it with babita. She did have something tho with how certain words etc uses to trigger memories from what went on with ashok. This weren’t a normal divorce where they had problems before choosing to divorce, it was a shock to the system for both of them. I think no matter how people feel about s2 or their difference of opinions everyone can agree that s1 weren’t handle as well as it could have been considering it’s potential. The writers did the story and characters a real disservice at the time

Both Mini and Babita definitely had some sort of mental health issue with everything that happened in their life in that one year. PTSD seems about right.

To me, they did a huge disservice to the mother-daughter bond. The story was always about the mother-daughter, not HS-Babita, not HS-Mini. They literally didn’t care about the mother-daughter bond/relationship after the wedding. They ripped that relationship apart brutally at the end. Mini didn’t deserve that. Babita didn’t deserve that. The least they could have down is have them reconcile with each other at the end.

I think they took the “daughter giving independence to the mother” a bit far. From the ashok track it was clear that they’d go to the extreme just to prove their current point. I really do believe ashok also did a 360 and became a lot more evil than he was. It seems like they’re not very good at getting their message across in a subtle way, it’s got to be some form extreme that forces the point onto the viewer instead of letting the writing subtly give the viewer the point they’re trying to make. I personally think they could have still down mini to be troubled but done it in a different way that didn’t alienate the viewer from the character they were introduced to: eg they could of shown babita’s pregnancy and have mini feel the 3rd wheel in this way (and it’s more realistic because kids often do struggle to find their place in mixed families). I don’t think it was babitas fault anyways, she was influenced by all the wrong ppl. Look at the sort of things saroj was putting into her head. She was just naive /innocent and didn’t really know how ugly ppl (even ones own family member) can be


I also hate that they couldn’t show them briefly reconciling or even speaking. A parent dying whilst on bad terms is a trauma that will never leave a person

this is so true. Wonderfully put.

This is exactly what the makes did. they lacked at showing the middle path with regard to showing mini troubled.

It could have been as simple as HS scolding mini for her carelessness for the wrong CD getting to the mandap instead of doubting on her that she did it knowingly. There is no going back from such things for a relation that is just starting. Babita calling mini the other woman like meeta was in very bad taste. Even if it's a mother daughter relation there is no going back on such things. They will leave an impression always.

I still cant believe that the makers of this show who were immensly talented would lead the show to such a poor state that makes it look like any other itv hate to love story with cringe worthy villians. I was a fool to think PB will revolutanize the present state of itv. I still wonder what made them change the idea of the show so drastically. Ashnoor has immense potential but feel real saddened to see her mediocre acting in a mediocre script.
