It becomes easier to understand a character's motive if one see it from his/her point of view, instead of our own. If Dharya was around as a father figure, Dua must have called him Baba without anyone prodding her to say that -- where is the lie in that. That statement as well as Mannat deciding to put Dharya's name as father on the certificate -- both can be true.
Blue Not sure I agree, babies learn words from being taught or hearing from language used around them, so toddler Dua wouldn’t have known to use the word Baba unless that label was given to DK for her to use by the others. There isn’t another child to follow suit from, or anyone else called Baba already 😂 Just as she’s been told RoTu are to be called Nani/Nanu 😂 though here she knows I think, they aren’t Mannat’s real parents.
But it’s writers wanting to elongate the MU and for Vik’s redemption that he won’t automatically step into a vacant role in Dua’s life (like Anirudh did Mannat’s) but will have to earn being a father, that than just useful for his sofa deed.
everything is stagnated & not stagnated with ManVik and they seem to be too scared to even reveal 1 truth from pre-leap
