I think she's always been like this. She has always done what others have told her because she trusted their wisdom and experience. E.g., getting her married at 18, sending Ashok alone to London etc.
Even after a reality check namely Meeta, she has always worked and acted according to others decisions. Minnie decided that she cant let her mother stay in a house which does not belong to them. Ashok was the one who wanted a divorce and she had to go through it. She took up odd jobs and was struggling to make ends meet but it was Minnie and Hanuman who encouraged her and her culinary skill set. The reason Hanuman wants her to take an initiative and confess. He wants babes to decide for herself.
It's only because of the divorce that she has been put in a position where she has had to make some hard choices. At the age of 35 she's learning how to do things that Minnie has learnt at the age of 17. There's bound to be some form of fear inside her where she doubts if she's making the right choice.
This fear inside her reflects in her behaviour and personality every now and then.
But then she does things like releasing Ashok and sending him to London and it mind boggles me as to how we don't see her do things like that on a continuous basis. Like she did that all on her own. So why can't she make all her decisions like that??
Remember the level of scared Hanuman was when she said things like "Case waapas le lelijiye" and "Haan Ashok Khurana maine tumhe maaf kiya", he had certainly not expected that she would send him away and before that the whole 'Tujhse naaraaz nahi zindagi' sequence. This was a decision Babita took for herself but through it she experienced many emotions, it was difficult for her.
